Maritime Hammock

Phil Manor

Maritime hammocks are relatively wet hardwood forests found between uplands and true wetlands. They are also found in a narrow band along parts of the Gulf and Atlantic coasts where they often extend to the edge of coastal salt marshes. These communities contain water oak, live oak, red maple, Florida elm, cabbage palm, red cedar, blue-beech, and sweet gum.
