  • Chapter 1: the Everglades to the 1920S Introduction
    Chapter 1: The Everglades to the 1920s Introduction The Everglades is a vast wetland, 40 to 50 miles wide and 100 miles long. Prior to the twentieth century, the Everglades occupied most of the Florida peninsula south of Lake Okeechobee.1 Originally about 4,000 square miles in extent, the Everglades included extensive sawgrass marshes dotted with tree islands, wet prairies, sloughs, ponds, rivers, and creeks. Since the 1880s, the Everglades has been drained by canals, compartmentalized behind levees, and partially transformed by agricultural and urban development. Although water depths and flows have been dramatically altered and its spatial extent reduced, the Everglades today remains the only subtropical ecosystem in the United States and one of the most extensive wetland systems in the world. Everglades National Park embraces about one-fourth of the original Everglades plus some ecologically distinct adjacent areas. These adjacent areas include slightly elevated uplands, coastal mangrove forests, and bays, notably Florida Bay. Everglades National Park has been recognized as a World Heritage Site, an International Biosphere Re- serve, and a Wetland of International Importance. In this work, the term Everglades or Everglades Basin will be reserved for the wetland ecosystem (past and present) run- ning between the slightly higher ground to the east and west. The term South Florida will be used for the broader area running from the Kississimee River Valley to the toe of the peninsula.2 Early in the twentieth century, a magazine article noted of the Everglades that “the region is not exactly land, and it is not exactly water.”3 The presence of water covering the land to varying depths through all or a major portion of the year is the defining feature of the Everglades.

  • Water-Quality Assessment of Southern Florida: an Overview of Available Information on Surface and Ground-Water Quality and Ecology
    Water-Quality Assessment of Southern Florida: An Overview of Available Information on Surface and Ground-Water Quality and Ecology By Kirn H. Haag, Ronald L. Miller, Laura A. Bradner, and David S. McCulloch U.S. Geological Survey Water-Resources Investigations Report 96-4177 Prepared as part of the National Water-Quality Assessment Program Tallahassee, Florida 1996 FOREWORD The mission of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is to assess the quantity and quality of the earth resources of the Nation and to provide information that will assist resource managers and policymakers at Federal, State, and local levels in making sound decisions. Assessment of water-quality conditions and trends is an important part of this overall mission. One of the greatest challenges faced by water-resources scientists is acquiring reliable information that will guide the use and protection of the Nation's water resources. That challenge is being addressed by Federal, State, interstate, and local water-resource agencies and by many academic institutions. These organizations are collecting water-quality data for a host of purposes that includes: compliance with permits and water-supply standards; development of remediation plans for a specific contamination problem; operational decisions on industrial, wastewater, or water-supply facilities; and research on factors that affect water quality. An additional need for water-quality information is to provide a basis on which regional and national-level policy decisions can be based. Wise decisions must be based on sound information. As a society we need to know whether certain types of water-quality problems are isolated or ubiquitous, whether there are significant differences in conditions among regions, whether the conditions are changing over time, and why these conditions change from place to place and over time.

  • Crandon Park
    Crandon Park Crandon Park is one of seven heritage parks acquired by Miami-Dade County. The park sits on a barrier island, with two miles of beach to the east, and Biscayne Bay to the west. Possessing a rich coastal environment the Park is home to a fossilized mangrove reef (unique in the world), a barrier island shoreline, sea grasses, protected wetlands, coastal hammocks and bird estuaries. Amenities include Crandon Gardens, a Nature Center, Marina, Golf Course, Tennis Center, picnic areas, bicycle/running paths, a pristine sandy beach, swimming, birdwatching and tot lot, to include a historic carousel all of which offer unparalleled recreational opportunities. Crandon Beach and the Bear Cut preserve are listed birding sites in the Great Florida Birding and Wildlife Viewing Trail guide [1]. Two and one half miles of road, located in the Park, were designated as a State historic highway by the State of Florida [2]. The north side of Key Biscayne, what’s known today, as Crandon Park, was purchased by Commodore William John Matheson, a wealthy aniline dye businessman, in 1908. He purchased 1,700 acres of land and created a coconut plantation at least twice as large as any other in the United States employing 42 workers by 1915. Thirty-six thousand coconut trees and a variety of other tropical fruits were planted and in 1921 he introduced the Malay Dwarf coconut to the United States. This is now the most common variety of coconut found in Florida. By 1933, the world price for coconut products had dropped to about two-fifths of its 1925 level, and the plantation stopped shipping.
