Snail kites suffered a major population decline during the first half of this century due to extensive drainage of Florida's wetlands.Thus, management of snail kites today consists primarily of conserving wetlands and trying to maintain adequate water quantity and quality for their habitat.

Show moreSnail kites suffered a major population decline during the first half of this century due to extensive drainage of Florida's wetlands.Thus, management of snail kites today consists primarily of conserving wetlands and trying to maintain adequate water quantity and quality for their habitat. The water quantity needed is a balance between having enough water to ensure the survival of apple snails and to provide openings in the vegetation, but not having so much water that the emergent vegetation is lost. This balance was historically maintained in the sloughs of the Everglades and other marshes and along the shorelines of many lakes. In recent years this balance as become increasingly difficult to maintain because of increasing water demands for urban and agricultural needs. The need to conserve our limited supplies of water therefore is important to the long-term survival of snail kites as well as our wetlands as a whole.

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.
