Recommended: Importance of the Everglades

The world is like home to us. We have plants, animals and resources that keep us alive. Florida's Everglades is one of those resources. It's a lot more valuable than we thought. The Everglades enriches our environment, is home to many species that are either threatened or endangered and gives us humans benefits in many ways. Which is why we should protect it.

First off, it's important to realize that we have a lot of benefits from Florida's Everglades. From the article, "Are the Everglades Forever?" By unknown author, they say, "Humans have benefited from the Everglades in many ways, from the creation of [the] park['s] tourism and jobs to the water supply that keeps the cities and agriculture of Southern Florida running. If the wetlands suffer, so do humans." And it's true. The Everglades is just of the wetlands that help everyone enrich the environment. …show more content…

In a different passage by Elaine Mao called, "Wetlands and Habitat Loss" the author explains, "...wetlands are also essential to the state's fishing industry, providing a habitat for fish, shrimp, oysters and crabs. -- Approximately one in every 70 jobs in the state is related to the fishing industry. The destruction of wetlands would have disastrous consequences for the economy of the area and the livelihoods of many Louisiana's residents." Destruction of a wetland wouldn't do humans very good at all. We need the wetlands for jobs, most seafood, and the economy. Which is why we must treat them with

  • Bayou Farewell by Mike Tidwell

    929 Words  | 2 Pages

    I live in Houma, Louisiana so I have tons of experience with the bayou region of South Louisiana. Everywhere I look in Houma there is a bayou, which is a good and bad thing. With a bayou comes many great things such as Egrets, Spanish Moss, etc. The bad thing about seeing many bayous is that it is a constant reminder that one day, Houma might be a part of the Gulf of Mexico. Also my dad’s side of the family is from Chauvin and Golden Meadow which is not too far from where the real damage of eroding wetlands is. I go down to Chauvin sometimes to visit my Nanny and her husband. I always see houses on stilts because of possible flooding that could come if a hurricane passes through. One of the issues that Mike Tidwell caught my interest was that the wildlife in bayous will one day be diminished into smaller numbers. That is because the eroding land causes brown shrimp, crabs, and other seafood to die out. Many residents in South Louisiana make a living off of seafood so to have most of that industry die out will hurt the economy of South Louisiana. I just found this issue very interesting.

  • The Pros And Cons Of Conservation Banking

    923 Words  | 2 Pages

    ...nks distinguish between preserved, restored, or created credits, conservation banks currently do not. The FWS’s federal guidance and California’s guidance do not state a preference for restored, enhanced, created, or preserved habitat, but approximately 94% of conservation bank credits are derived from preservation. Regulatory agencies often struggle with awarding credits for created wetland habitat due to performance risks and doubt about ecological value. Habitat creation for conservation banking has yet to be tested. Another issue of concern to conservation banking and preservation habitat is long-term management. Unless there is active management on areas where the ecosystem relies on it (e.g., controlled burning, invasive species control), using preservation for mitigation could lead to a net loss of habitat for a particular species. (Fox and Nino-Murcia, 2005)

  • The Effect of Pesticide Runoffs on the Everglades

    967 Words  | 2 Pages

    This is a very critical situation that needs to be fixed urgently. The habitats of the Everglades depend on an annual water cycle which has been hindered by the development construction which was imposed on the farmland. Back in the 19th century, developers were keen on draining all the swamps in the Everglades for developmental purposes. Their intention was to grow sugarcane plantations on the land yet sugarcanes are highly destructive to the Everglades. They too disrupt the water cycle to which the wildlife has adapted. The Florida sugar industry built on the southern Shore of Lake Okeechobee directly clocks the water source for the remaining Everglades hence destroying the habitats of the wildlife existing in the affected areas.

  • The Negative Effects of Humans and Nature on Florida’s Marine Ecosystems

    2053 Words  | 5 Pages

    Nature designed Florida to be one large marine ecosystem. Florida is one big sand peninsula located below the 40th longitudinal North American line. Three bodies of salt water (Gulf of Mexico, Strait of Florida and Atlantic Ocean) surround three out of four directions of Florida. Man-made canals, natural lakes, rivers and estuaries are confined within the State of Florida’s physical boundaries. All of these form an interlocking system of waterways that impact the interconnected marine environment (marine ecosystem). All of Florida’s waterways are connected back to the surrounding bodies of water while passing through Florida’s sub-tropical and temperate zones and impact the delicate marine ecosystem balance. Man and nature are causing a negative impact to this region like never before. Hurricanes, lack of green initiatives, garbage, pollution and the stripping of natural resources for population growth are decimating Florida’s natural ecosystems.

  • Coastal Erosion In Louisiana

    This is a result from the new levee system. This system prevents the natural ways of sediment re-depositing along the riverbank and wetlands. The levees lead the sediment to deposit off the continental shelf in the Gulf of Mexico. (15) This adds to the loss of wetlands along the coast. Wetlands are important to the economy in more than one way. They serve as homes for fish which fishermen catch then sell and they protect the mainland from getting the full effect of storm surge during a hurricane. “Every 2.7 miles of wetlands absorbs one foot of storm surge” (1.2). Without wetlands and barrier islands working as a barrier, the mainland could experience even more damage during

  • Essay On Florida Everglades

    2012 Words  | 5 Pages

    The Florida Everglades have been slowly and steadily diminishing in size for over many decades. Throughout the years, the Everglades have had an abundant, healthy environment. The massive swamps were once rich with marshland, and had ecosystems chock-full of wildlife. However, due to large corporations, natural disasters and most importantly, the growth of the human population, the Everglades are 50% smaller than they were hundreds of years ago. The destruction of the Florida Everglades includes not only a diminishing number of the marshland, but also the lessening of wild life, such as alligators, herons, and exotic plants. While there is a government plan set for the restoration of the everglades, it will take many years to make up for the

  • Essay On The Everglades

    1044 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Florida Everglades is one of the most diverse wetland ecosystems in the United States. These tropical wetlands span an area of more than seven hundred square miles in southern Florida. The term Everglade means river of grass. The system starts in central Florida near Orlando and travels southwest to the tip of Florida. The Everglades has a wet season and a dry season which causes a great change in hydrology. During the wet season the system is a slow moving river that is sixty miles wide and over a hundred miles long. During the dry season water levels drop and some areas will completely dry up. The Everglades has many different aquatic environments all having interdependent ecosystems. The most important factor for all these environments is water. It helps shape the land, vegetation, and all the organism that live in each area. Each environment has particular needs for the organisms living in that area. Throughout the years humans have diverted the water to fit their varying needs. The state has built dikes and levees, dug canals, and have built locks to divert the water. This has all been done to keep areas completely dry for developing and agricultural needs. Today, The Everglades is half the size of its original size. Throughout the years many restoration acts have been created and updated. The Everglades restoration projects have been the most expensive environmental repairs in The United States. This is because The Everglades is one of the three most important wetland areas in the world. The Everglades National Park is the home of thirty six protected species including the West Indian Manatee, the American Crocodile, and the Florida Panther. The Everglades also homes hundreds of species of birds, fish, mammals, and repti...

  • Comparison Of Southern Swamps And The Last Of The Ofos

    653 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the panel “Southern Swamps as Spaces of Alterity” Kristin L. Squint discusses the destruction of Florida’s swamps as a result of the melaleuca tree and the threats to the Louisiana wetlands because of development and hurricanes. She asserts that Swamplandia! highlights the situation in Florida, while The Last of the Ofos covers the conditions in Louisiana. While analyzing these two novels Squint seeks to answer two questions: “How is the destruction of Gulf Coast wetlands comparable to the loss of Indigenous lifeways? And, what kinds of practices are sustainable to maintain these ecological and cultural resources?” (Squint 3). I would argue that the interaction between Bird Man and Ava parallels the Army Corps of Engineers planting the melaleuca

    Looking further inland, the Everglades, which provide Miami with a source of fresh water, could be contaminated through the high salt levels of the ocean, rendering them unusable (Madigan A12). The Everglades of Miami depend upon precipitation as source of fresh water, however with the rise in sea levels the overwhelming amount of saltwater is detrimental to their health (Linhoss, Chambers, Wozniak, and Ankersen). The rise in sea levels will result in the plunge of the Florida Keys along with the Key West (Madigan A12). The high risk of flooding that the Florida Keys are facing proposes a decline in the environment for various species that are endangered (Linhoss, Chambers, Wozniak, and Ankersen). By the end of this century, effects from melting snow and ice reserves and the thermal expansion of the ocean water mass are significant factors attributed to the rise in sea levels affecting Miami (Sea level rise).

"The question of why we should protect the Everglades has now evolved into how we should restore the Everglades," according to Suzie Unger. "Everglades National Park is the largest remaining sub-tropical wilderness in the continental United States and has extensive fresh and saltwater areas, open Everglades prairies, and mangrove forests. Abundant wildlife includes rare and colorful birds, and this is the only place in the world where alligators and crocodiles exist side by side. The park is 1,506,539 acres (606,688 hectares) in size.

  • Biodiversity: Lewis Ocean Bay Heritage Conservation

    327 Words  | 1 Pages

    Many people are under the impression that heritage preserves and parks are just a place to experience nature, but it is so much more than that. When we went to Lewis Ocean Bay Heritage Preserve there were a lot of different plants that we saw. I realized on this field trip how important heritage preserves and parks are to our community. The venus flytraps we saw was one essential plant that stood out to me. I learned how much they help the environment by gathering nutrients in the soil. These wetlands are something we need to protect because they also help reduce the impacts we receive from storm damage, such as flooding. More people should become educated in heritage preserves and parks.

  • Marjory Stoneman Douglas' Dedication to the Florida Everglades

    Florida became a state in 1845 and almost immediately people began proposing to drain the Everglades. In 1848, a government report said that draining the Everglades would be easy, and there would be no bad effect. Canals and dams were dug to control seasonal flooding. Farmers grew vegetables in the rich soil of the drained land, Ranchers had their cattle graze on the dry land, and new railways lines were constructed to connect communities throughout south Florida; but the ecosystem of the Everglades was not suited for either farming or ranching. The natural cycle of dry and wet seasons brought a devastating series of droughts and floods. These had always been a p...

    ...n, the Louisiana wetlands are an extremely valuable asset to the State of Louisiana and the United States. The continual loss of Louisiana wetlands has the potential to have an immensely negative effect on the economy at a state and national level. Over 2 million people live in the Louisiana coastal parishes (Field et al., 1991). The majority of people living on the Louisiana coast make their living from things that are directly related to the wetlands. The Louisiana wetlands make up the largest wetland community in America and is being lost at a rate greater than the other wetland communities in the country. The suggested strategies that are being taken into consideration could be helpful but it seems that the State of Louisiana is not as concerned as it should be given the future consequences and much like climate change coastal erosion is not being taken serious.
