Climate change has been in discussion for a number of reasons and majorly for negative impacts. But a change has been noticed by scientists, which is quite different.

They have noticed that mangroves from South Florida to St. Augustine are moving up Florida's Atlantic coast. Though it is due to climate change, scientists were of the view that it would not be having any negative consequence at ecological level.

Researcher Kyle Cavanaugh from Brown University has said that this is something different. "Here we have one important, highly productive coastal system - in this case, salt marshes - being replaced by another very important, highly productive coastal system - mangroves", said Kyle.

Kyle continued by affirming that it is important to know that what these changes are going to mean to Florida's ecosystem if they continue. The revelation of the same has been published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Some of the facts that have been gathered by the research carried out by Cavanaugh and team are that more than 3,000 acres of mangroves are present in Florida's east coast. One of the surprising revelations was mangroves coverage area has doubled in the area between Cape Canaveral and St. Augustine.
