A young lemon shark glides beneath a maze of mangrove roots, sharing the sheltered water with small fish. Cruisin’ the Mangroves is part of Connected by Water, a collection inspired by the places and wildlife of the Florida Reef Tract.
Juvenile lemon sharks use shallow coastal waters as nursery grounds, where they find food and protection while learning to hunt. Mangrove roots create shelter for young fish and other marine life, giving the sharks both refuge and prey. After seven or eight years, lemon sharks move into larger coastal habitats, carrying their connection to the mangroves with them.
This small original celebrates the shelter mangroves provide as young sharks grow and prepare for life in open coastal waters.
