Hello Christy, this article might help you to ID them. Apparently there are 7 species of Mangrove tree in Costa Rica. It lists them by their binomial name so a quick Google image search should yield photos of each one to compare with yours: http://www.costaricaoutdoors.com/articles/flora-fauna/mysterious-mangroves.html
