Everglades
National Park - The landscape of Everglades
National Park is utterly unique among American vistas.
A patchwork of overwhelmingly open saw grass marshes,
tangled mangrove forests, and jungle-like tropical hardwood
hammocks, it's called the River of Grass.
Indeed, most of the park's 1.5 million acres are either
fresh or brackish water wetlands, or are submerged beneath
the shallow estuarine waters of Florida Bay. With no
place more than eight feet above sea level, even the
few hummocks of pineland or hardwood uplands succumb
to the dominating force of water during high water events.
Florida Bay -
Located at the southernmost tip of the
Florida Peninsula. Florida Bay lies between
the mainland and the chain of islands known as the Florida
Keys. The Keys and the Florida reef tract extend 220
miles south and west of the Florida peninsula. The islands
were formed from ancient coral and sand shoals, which
are covered by mangroves and tropical hardwood hammocks.
The bay itself is characterized by many shallow interconnected
basins, with an average depth of only three feet. Most
of the bay lies within the boundaries of the everglades
national park. The bay and the Keys are part of the
greater South Florida ecosystem, one that is unique
to the world. This South Florida or Everglades ecosystem
is approximately 10,800 square miles extending from
Orlando to the Dry Tortugas.
Florida Bay is a shallow
inner-shelf lagoon located at the southern end of the
south Florida watershed. It is an area where fresh water
from the everglades mixes with the salty waters from
the Gulf of Mexico to form an estuary that is surrounded
by mangroves forests and encompasses over 200 mangrove
islands. It’s nearly 1,000 square miles of interconnected
basins, grassy mud banks, and mangrove islands are nesting,
nursery, and/or feeding grounds for a host of marine
animals: the American crocodile, the West Indian manatee,
the loggerhead turtle, bottlenose dolphins, a variety
of bird species and many game fish. Parts of the bay
are also the nursery grounds for the economically valuable
pink shrimp and Caribbean spiny lobster.
Key Largo - Key
Largo is the first island of the Florida Keys, south
of the Florida mainland. You can reach Key Largo by
driving for about 1 hour from Miami international Airport
or 30 minutes from Kendall-Tamiami Executive
Airport. If you look at the mile markers placed
on the overseas highway – US1 – Key Largo
will be marked from "m.m. 90-106". Key Largo
is sandwiched between the watery wilderness of the everglades
national park to the west and the fish-covered coral
formations of North America’s only living coral
barrier reef to the east.
