The Glades!

I plan to use this blog if I ever decide to move to Everglades City, for educational purposes. As my current career path is environmental education, the colourful graphics and interesting animal facts presented in the slides presentations would translate well into a classroom.

The tools I am now quite familiar with will be transferable to any national park I move to.

I may also use some of the information if my schooling covers South Florida again.

Overall I learned a lot about the impact of people on this beautiful national park, and what we can do to prevent the Glades from further damage. I will continue to update this blog with other coursework, so I may use it to find notes and essays I have written in the future.

At 2,357 square miles, (1,508,537 acres), the Everglades represent the 10th largest National Park in the United States. On the map below, you can see a rough estimate of the perimeter of the park. Although most of the protected area is swampland, the boundary for the Everglades also encompasses a lot of the coastal seas, including coral reefs and mangrove biomes. Most of the Everglades is at or near sea level, with the highest natural point being about 8 feet above sea level. There is one area, a shell mound built by the Calusa Native Americans, that sits on the 20ft mark (pictured). You can see that the City of Miami to the East is a possible threat to the Everglades, because the close border to the National Park prevents expansion, and is a hot spot for human wildlife conflict.
