- Some homeowners in the Miami area found this out after Andrew. They used
- storm damage as a reason to cut mangroves down. They are required to
- replant those trees, because that was illegal. Mangroves are very
- important to the ecology of the area for fish and shellfish breeding. So
- beware when you cut down that tree Doug. It might not be legal for you to
- destroy the tree.
