Another terrific video, Marty. Informative and interesting. Very reminiscent vibes to some of your older videos, the music and storytelling...almost gives me an ataraxic feeling when I watch it. 😌
I always learn something new from you, from today every time I go in my kayak I will save all the mangrove trees that I see in Aripeka, Florida! Thanks, now I have a new challenge to fulfill!
I rescued a mangrove pod with some roots sprouting, from the beach and planted it in a pot at my house. They are very hardy plants. Thanks for the video Marty.
Very cool environment , Being in tune with the landscape and wildlife around us is an essential part of our own life journey. Thanks for taking the time to share.
Some of your videos are so unexpectedly wholesome and internally fulfilling. It's one of the main reasons I keep coming back to the channel. As a mountain biker and wildlife lover, conservation is a massive focus for me. I can't wait to get a kayak and get out on the water. Someday, man, I want to buy a yak. And I want to buy it from you. Support local!
Marty, there are not enough words of praise in the English language to bestow upon you. The enlightenment we receive thru your videos is so much more than simple (how to) information. You capture our minds and every so often you capture our souls by showing us the beauty that is all around us if we would just take the time to look. Thank you and God Bless my friend.
Saw those mangroves up close and personal last weekend. Thanks for putting all of us on the water! We had a great time and it was nice to meet you and see everything in person.
Marty, even though you might not be catching fish you sir are catching the respect and love from mother nature and admiring viewers like me. As you give back to her she will reciprocate back to you a hundred fold.
It's amazing how some people just write all this off as a gross swamp when really there is so much beauty and life in and around the Florida waterways. Coming from a plant nerd myself, thanks for sharing about these great plants Marty!
Marty you’re the frickin coolest. I love that you did this video! I’m a Florida native and I learned a couple things about mangroves 😀 I’ve lived in NY for the past 25 years, but will be in FL next month. I’ve actually set aside a day to drive over from Jacksonville to visit you and rent a kayak!
You are truly blessed Marty, thank you for all your awsome videos . Its been so awsome to see you come so far in your dream . Its so easy to get cought up in a life and to forget about what keeps us grounded .
I grow them in my aquarium refugium to filter water off nitrates and phosphates. It's legal to collect pods without roots. If you want to accelerate their growth, poke them halfway through foam so they float upright and anchor them to shore, pack packed in tight formation. They will help the ocean. And with our fl water problem, it is a big help. Most pods don't make it to shore in the right position and just sink and rot so it is nice to give them a chance
Stopping urban sprawl would be a dream come true. Mangrove forests are being cleared at a rate here in the Americas faster than the tropical rainforests (source WWF). Unfortunately the "ruling class" (politicians and big dollar business) only care about booming population growth and new development.
Thank you, you are truly a unique person with skill and knowledge that hopefully people will learn from. Your a rare breed. Great videos, great skill in craftsmanship, great environmentalist.
This is a really good video Marty, as a marine science major I found this fascinating and an awesome tidbit of info to add to my knowledge. Please give us more of these informative videos of flora and fauna of the area. Thanks for such a great video
Hi Marty, many years ago I commented on your channel that "one" of the reasons I was attracted to your videos was because as an Environmental Engineer I appreciated the fact that you picked-up garbage on your kayak outings. Now this wonderful awesome video on mangroves! Nice Job. My favorite plant in the world. I once told my wife that after we retire we could not leave Florida because I need to be close to mangroves. My Department has a mangrove replenishment program that has been very successful. They also do coral reef restoration. Hope to meet you one day and talk environmental shit! Love what you're doing. Can you do a video where you fish off of the old red kayak, PLEASE!
Born in Miami, but still learned a bit about the different kinds of mangroves. Thanks. But ALSO learned that you are 1.4 miles away. Have learned a kayak load about kayaks and fishing from you. Hope to meet ya soon and try the kayak thing.
Thanks for the mangrove info. When I was at your place this last February I rented one of your kayaks and took it thru that tunnel you showed. The tide was a little lower but I did manage to get back to the mud hole. Do you remember how messy the kayak was when I brought it back, bunch of small branches and leaves and mud and dirt? Great experience. Will be back again to rent this next year.
wow Thanks Marty,Please do some more of these video's ,I'm a fishin junkie but that sir was so interesting ,you did a great job ...Thanks for sharing and tight lines
I have used the mangrove seed pods in the sump of my saltwater aquarium in order to help keep the water clean, acts as a natural filter, and also helps to maintain the water within its proper PH...It is amazing how quickly they grow before you have to start trimming them back..great video Marty.
Love to learn in a myriad of subjects. This is no exception. Watching this made me miss South Florida and the Keys. My favorite place I've ever lived. However, in all the years I lived down there, I never learned the differences in Mangrove trees. Can't imagine why, but better late than never. Subscribing.
Been through those tunnels a few times when we go to Zoffingers! Very fun! We will be back in a couple weeks! As you may have noticed, breaking the paddle into 2 parts makes it much easier to navigate through the tunnels
What a nice vid man, all of your videos are very informative and relaxing and really nice to watch. I'm from Tampa/Ruskin and enjoy watching your vids to take me back home...thanx...
Great videos I live in Australia and got into kayak fishing after watching you. I have watched and still watch all your videos. Keep up the good work. Good luck
They are an invasive species here in Hawai'i. They were introduced here from Florida at the turn of the 20th century by sugar plantations trying to prevent coastal runoffs. It was done with good intentions like the mongoose, cane toads, Blacktail, and Blue-lined Snappers (from Tahiti), and they have been an environmental nightmare ever since. There are efforts to irradiate these invasive for decades now but very difficult. They are great in their native habitats but their benefits are outweighed by the harm they cause. I grew up on a stream in the town Of Kailua, and we had these tall red mangroves growing thick along the bank. I personally as a kid loved them, a great climbing tree I do not know of. Mahalo nui for another great vid.
Mangrove forests move carbon dioxide "from the atmosphere into long-term storage" in greater quantities than other forests, making them "among the planet's best carbon scrubbers" according to a NASA-led study based on satellite data.
Damn Marty! That was a very cool vid. While growing up in the Keys I spent a lot of time fishing and making forts and docks on mangrove islands so we quickly learned about black versus red because black mangroves made for the best structure to attach to.
Great video. I'm doing the same with the shore on my section of canal, planting mangroves along the edge to protect it. Mangrove forests around the world are being endangered by fisheries, mostly for shrimp cultivation. A terrible waste of resources.
Send the seed trees to Louisiana & the delta. Be great to find another RUclipsr to share them with & keep propagating them in brackish coastal waters. Very cool upload.
Marty, you are truly a multi-dimensional man. Artist, craftsman, angler, videographer, business man, and now naturalist. Serious kudos.

This is great info my friend! I am an arborist so I very much appreciate trees as I do your video. Very relaxing.
It's amazing how some people just write all this off as a gross swamp when really there is so much beauty and life in and around the Florida waterways. Coming from a plant nerd myself, thanks for sharing about these great plants Marty!
Great stuff Marty, the mangroves truly are the nursery for the fish we love to catch and eat

Awesome video Marty, thanks for planting the groves and the info, I didn’t know the differences.
You are truly blessed Marty, thank you for all your awsome videos . Its been so awsome to see you come so far in your dream . Its so easy to get cought up in a life and to forget about what keeps us grounded .
Thanks for a good nature course. More would be welcome. I hope to have the time to get back down to Florida and enjoy that nature many more times
As a Horticulture teacher, I say , fantastic video. I loved it.
Looks great Marty,
Nice to see your dream come alive better and better every day 🙌🏻

This was fascinating. Thanks for showing all this to us, and explaining it! What beautiful places those tunnels are!
Great Video Marty.. Always great to stop every once in awhile and see what is right in front of your eyes.
A true naturalist.looking out for your environment is important
Great information. We need to stop the urban crawl and protect the mangroves. The entire ecosystem depends on them. Thank you for sharing.

@@cup_and_cone water front property goes for a pretty penny, which drives the destruction of the places.
Thank you, you are truly a unique person with skill and knowledge that hopefully people will learn from. Your a rare breed. Great videos, great skill in craftsmanship, great environmentalist.

Loved this video! Very nice change of pace to the fishing videos, very interesting to watch and listen to
You are a great human being!!!
This was really great of you Marty! Highly enjoyed it!!!!

YEAH, NOW THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!!!!! Thanks for the good old Zoffinger vid. Loved it.

I grew up in S. FL and as kids, we would play in the mangroves, fish, hunt for critters. I never realized the different species. Thanks Marty.
wow Thanks Marty,Please do some more of these video's ,I'm a fishin junkie but that sir was so interesting ,you did a great job ...Thanks for sharing and tight lines
Salutes from Guayaquil, Ecuador.
Pretty nice info-video, hope one day my family and I can visit you and your place.
Keep the good work!
one of these days I'd love to take the long drive down from NY with my kayak and fishing gear and spend some time at your new place and fish..
I have used the mangrove seed pods in the sump of my saltwater aquarium in order to help keep the water clean, acts as a natural filter, and also helps to maintain the water within its proper PH...It is amazing how quickly they grow before you have to start trimming them back..great video Marty.

Great video, one of the most underrated you tubers out there keep it up
Looks beautiful, thanks for showing us around!!
Awesome video! I love exploring the environment around me. It is fun to learn what grows and why. Thanks for the information!
Been through those tunnels a few times when we go to Zoffingers! Very fun! We will be back in a couple weeks! As you may have noticed, breaking the paddle into 2 parts makes it much easier to navigate through the tunnels
As soon as you pulled out that baby mangrove, for some reason I heard a voice say " I'm Groot!" 😆😝😋 great video, it made me feel relaxed.
I love mangroves. They're so beautiful.
Very informative about the mangroves. I've lived in Florida all my life and didn't know this about mangroves. Thank you Marty for the new knowledge.
Awesome video for my class! I agree with kayak Chris, I loved it.
Great video Marty! I really liked this one as much as the fishing and build videos.
Marty, thanks for taking us on the trip and the great information. I admire your conservation mindset.
I remember years ago when a homeowner by the bayside bridge cut the mangroves behind his house. Man did he get a healthy fine.
cool stuff, thanks for sharing. The mangroves help improve water quality...so they're important for conservation....and fishing.
What a nice vid man, all of your videos are very informative and relaxing and really nice to watch. I'm from Tampa/Ruskin and enjoy watching your vids to take me back home...thanx...
Thx for the info..very in teresting..also i never thought of using half my kayak paddle in tight spots..cool
Great videos I live in Australia and got into kayak fishing after watching you. I have watched and still watch all your videos. Keep up the good work. Good luck
Excellent video. Thanks, Marty.
Very cool learned something today now I will do my part and help the mangroves grow

Yes, I did enjoy this video. Very interesting information. Always enjoy learning new stuff. Thanks for sharing.
Very informative Marty, nice work!
You are definitely living the dream! So beautiful. Take care. Down in Cali.
You are the Mangrove Jedi Master!! GREAT video Marty!!

Cool video! Didn't know much about mangrove trees. Thks Marty!
Nice one Marty......love those mangroves......great video as always!
Another excellent video, definitely a learning experience for me. I'm always amazed at how robust the red mangrove roots are.
Fantastic my man!!! You do such a great job. I'm so glad I came across your channel. Just great quality. Keep up the good work sir!!
Great video. You made my day! Heartfelt thanks.
Now that is the way to teach great job Bud keep up the good word and work
Damn Marty! That was a very cool vid. While growing up in the Keys I spent a lot of time fishing and making forts and docks on mangrove islands so we quickly learned about black versus red because black mangroves made for the best structure to attach to.
Thank you Marty for the mangrove 101.
Awesome video. I once rode out a hurricane tied to mangroves. Those bad boys are strong. That being the case, I wonder how the tunnels stay open?
Very cool thanks for the info and I enjoyed the trip through the mangroves.
Great vidio! I love learning things. Reilly like your fishing vidios. Miss watching them.
Dan R
Thank's Marty Awesome Vlog...
Very informative and just plain cool video Marty. I always learn and appreciate your passion and knowledge. Excellent job brutha!
Very nice job Marty. Thanks for sharing!
You're so frikken cute! Were you like this when you were little? Paddling thru the mangroves, eyes all wide with wonder. You are the Sonsaeng!!!😊
Like always very good and informative video, you are the best at what you do, thanks for sharing
This was really cool thanks for sharing.
I really enjoyed learning about the mangroves. Great video. Thank you.
Good to see you Marty
Something a little different. I enjoyed it! Your content has always been interesting but your video production is getting really slick now too.
Great video. I'm doing the same with the shore on my section of canal, planting mangroves along the edge to protect it. Mangrove forests around the world are being endangered by fisheries, mostly for shrimp cultivation. A terrible waste of resources.
I really enjoy your creative content.
Thanks Marty!
Thanks Marty.. That's truly inspirational!
Very cool, Marty. That island looked pretty snakey. I see you found a stick somewhere along the way. Good idea.
Nice video. Very informative. Miss Florida. Going camping this weekend with my son on a 3 day fishing trip.
Great Video Marty! Thanks.
Nice bro 👍🏾
Love it. And yes, I learned something today.
That’s awesome man! Thank you for sharing this awesome info with us, and always, Tight Lines man!
Good stuff to know. These things need to be protected
Someday I am going to come down there and rent a kayak to just paddle through the Mangroves! Maybe try to catch some of them giant redfish too!
Very interesting...thanks for sharing!
Send the seed trees to Louisiana & the delta.
Be great to find another RUclipsr to share them with & keep propagating them in brackish coastal waters.
Very cool upload.
I could be tied to a train track. And Marty's voice would calm me down.
Can you do some camping trips on the islands would like to see some videos of that like catch n cook☺️😁
I live just North of Marty, those Islands, at night, SKEEEETERS!!! Big saltwater marsh SKEEEEETERS!!!!
Marty could invite Tripp Smith down to do that, I bet he'd be into it. ruclips.net/user/SailingandSuch
@@KayakChris heeeeeyyyy. When did Tripp change his channel name? No wonder I haven't been receiving anymore videos. Thanks for the link.👍😀
Just sent this video out on our Yak Tribe email blast! Cheers!
Way to go! That was a cool one. Its always important to know your surroundings, you have to know what you are a part from. Greetings ;)
Really cool trees for sure
