 For most of the past 150 million years Southern Florida has been sea floor  The calcium carbonate from the shells formed the limestone base  110,000 years ago the sea deposited a spongy limestone layer  At the same time the Atlantic Coastal Ridge was deposited

 Biomes: Flooded Grassland & Temperate Deciduous Forest  Climate: known for variability ◦ Temp. ranges from 60 – 80 degrees Fahrenheit ◦ 52 inches of rainfall a year ◦ Wet Season (7 months) and Dry Season  Dominant Wildlife: Hundreds of plants native to the region, introduced species (Burmese Pythons), Aquatic animals (American Alligator), as well as mammals (Florida Panther)

 Endemic Species: native to the Everglades ◦ Snail Kite ◦ Ghost Orchid ◦ Southern Live Oak  Federally listed Threatened Species: ◦ American Alligator and Crocodile ◦ Arctic Peregrine Falcon ◦ Eastern Indigo Snake ◦ Piping Plover ◦ Roseate Tem ◦ Stock Island Tree Snail

 Atlantic Ridley Turtle  Crenulate Lead Plant  Florida Panther  Wood Stork  Florida Black Bear

 Home for hunting for Native Americans and Anglo- American settlers better known as “Gladesman”  Developers tried to alter the wetland by draining it and turning it into roads and canals  Conservation groups tried to stop the “River of Grass” from being ruined  The Florida Department of Environmental Protection and the South Florida Water Management District are responsible for protecting this area

 To protect water quality  To save a water supply that helps support a large population  To help jobs in tourism, commercial fishing, agriculture, and recreation  There are 67 endangered species in the everglades

Threats Cures  Many canals and dams have been built, interrupting the natural flow of water  Growing agriculture is leading to large amounts of runoff chemicals that is changing the ecosystem  Exotic plants and animals disrupt the ecosystem balance  Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP)  Improving and protecting water quality and storage
