Title: Along the Tamiami Trail.
Name/Creator: United States, National Park Service, Everglades National Park
Abstract/Description: The Tamiami Trail spans South Florida's peninsula,connecting the Atlantic Ocean with the Gulf of Mexico. It penetrates the heart of the Big Cypress National Preserve and parallels the northern boundary of Everglades National Park. Together these national park areas preserve a portion of the Everglades ecosystem.

Show moreThe Tamiami Trail spans South Florida's peninsula,connecting the Atlantic Ocean with the Gulf of Mexico. It penetrates the heart of the Big Cypress National Preserve and parallels the northern boundary of Everglades National Park. Together these national park areas preserve a portion of the Everglades ecosystem. Crossing a mosaic of environments, from freshwater sawgrass marsh to saltwater mangrove forest, the Tamiami Trail offers travellers a scenic overview of Everglades' environments. Prior to completion, it took early explorers eighteen days to make the trek across the watery wilderness of the Everglades. Today the trip is made in a few hours or a few days, depending upon the pace and curiosity of the traveler.

Title: American Crocodile: An Endangered Species Recovery in Progress.
Name/Creator: Cherkiss, Michael S., Mazzotti, Frank J.
Abstract/Description: If we continue to protect and restore habitat for crocodiles in South Florida, crocodiles will prosper. However, if we are unable to change people's misconceptions about crocodiles, crocodile recovery will become an increasingly difficult task. The answer lies in education and habitat restoration. We need to educate concerned citizens that the American crocodile is a shy animal that rarely attacks unless provoked. Everglades restoration can be linked with crocodile ecology; the health of the...

However, if we are unable to change people's misconceptions about crocodiles, crocodile recovery will become an increasingly difficult task. The answer lies in education and habitat restoration. We need to educate concerned citizens that the American crocodile is a shy animal that rarely attacks unless provoked. Everglades restoration can be linked with crocodile ecology; the health of the Everglades corresponds with the health of crocodile populations. By using crocodiles as indicators of the success of restoring natural freshwater flows to estuaries, we can accomplish goals of increasing crocodile populations and Everglades restoration.

Title: Changes in the Everglades National Park Red Drum and Spotted Seatrout Fisheries 1958 - 1978: Fishing Pressure, Environmental Stress, or Natural Cycles?. Proceedings of the Red Drum and Seatrout Colloquium, Oct. 19-20, 1978.
Name/Creator: Gary E. Davis
Abstract/Description: Everglades National Park supports mixed recreational and commercial fisheries for red drum, sciaenops ocellata, and spotted seatrout, Cynoscion nebulosus. Within the 663,750 acres of the coastal waters of the park, there are six ecologically discrete systems ranging from 51,000 to over 164,00 acres each. Commercial fishing is prohibited in a total of 94,000 acres in two of these systems. The number of commercial fishermen involved in these fisheries fluctuated between 125 and 276 from 1963 to...

Man has engaged in cultural activities, both agricultural and urban, which have affected the water quality in the northern and eastern segments of the area of investigation.

The quality of the water improves, however, as it flows to the south and east because there is minimal input from man's activities and many of the constituents are assimilated by plants, sorbed on organic material and clay in the bottom sediments, and entrapped within the sediments. Because of these processes, the water entering Everglades National Park is of better quality than that entering the conservation areas in the north"--P. 8.

Title: Distribution and Abundance of Flora in Limestone Rockland Pine Forests of Southern Florida.
Name/Creator: Everglades National Park (Agency : U.S.). South Florida Research Center, Loope,Lloyd L., Black, David W., Black, Sally, Avery, George N.
Abstract/Description: The pine forests of the Miami Rock Ridge of extreme southeastern Florida form a highly distinctive vegetation type with the following characteristics: (1) a rough limestone (Miami oolite) substrate with abundant crevices and solution holes, but very little soil development; (2) an understory including a variety of West Indian hardwood species; and (3) a rather rich herbaceous flora, including South Florida endemics. The single overstory tree of these forests is Pinus elliottii var. densa.

Title: The Effects of Drainage and Associated Development In The Big Cypress Swamp.
Name/Creator: United States. Department of the Interior. South Florida Environmental Project
Abstract/Description: The preservation of the essential environmental values of South Florida is inextricably linked with the protection and management of its water resources. In southeast Florida, the storage basins, levees, canals, pumping stations, locks, gates and culverts of the Central and Southern Florida Flood Control District regulate the collection and dispersal of water. This water is distributed to the agricultural areas south of Lake Okeechobee, to the lower east coast urban areas, to three vast water...

Abstract/Description: During 1991 we began a study of survival and dispersal of snail kites (Rostrhamus sociabilis) throughout Florida. The intent of this study was to better estimate parameters associated with demography and movement of kites and to assess the environmental influences on these parameters. This report provides a summarization of progress and data for the first year of the study. In-depth analyses and conclusions are premature at this early stage of our research.

Title: Everglades.
Name/Creator: United States.Department of the Interior.National Park Service. Everglades National Park
Abstract/Description: Historically, the story of the Town of Everglades began more than a thousand years ago in the little-known civilization of the coastal mound dwellers. These people left behind the huge shell mounds marking the sites of their settlements. Their strange ornaments of gold and shell, their wood paintings and other cultural relics are similar in some respects to those of the Aztec civilization of Mexico. They built ingenious fish traps and fashioned pottery which they decorated with abstract figures.
