Introduction
- Coastal prairies are located inland from the mud flats of the Florida Bay
|
Coastal prairies occur along the western coast of the Everglades. Located between the dry land and tidal mud flats of the Florida Bay, coastal prairies are formed by the inland movement of mud during strong storms and hurricanes. These arid habitats often experience strong winds and may become flooded by storms and hurricanes.
