Historically, a freshwater river a few feet deep and 50 miles wide crept MORE TO EXPLORE seaward through this area on a gradually sloping riverbed. Along its 80-mile course, the river dropped only 15 feet, finally emptying into Florida Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. There, fresh and salt water mix in coastal areas, and mangrove forest dominates. The Everglades is an expansive area consisting of 1.5 million acres of wetland. Since the park covers such a large area, planning is a must. There are three entrances to Everglades National Park and they are not connected. They are accessed through different areas.

  • Some Pre-Boom Developers of Dade County : Tequesta

    Some Pre-Boom Developers of Dade County : Tequesta

    Some Pre-Boom Developers of Dade County By ADAM G. ADAMS The great land boom in Florida was centered in 1925. Since that time much has been written about the more colorful participants in developments leading to the climax. John S. Collins, the Lummus brothers and Carl Fisher at Miami Beach and George E. Merrick at Coral Gables, have had much well deserved attention. Many others whose names were household words before and during the boom are now all but forgotten. This is an effort, necessarily limited, to give a brief description of the times and to recall the names of a few of those less prominent, withal important develop- ers of Dade County. It seems strange now that South Florida was so long in being discovered. The great migration westward which went on for most of the 19th Century in the United States had done little to change the Southeast. The cities along the coast, Charleston, Savannah, Jacksonville, Pensacola, Mobile and New Orleans were very old communities. They had been settled for a hundred years or more. These old communities were still struggling to overcome the domination of an economy controlled by the North. By the turn of the century Progressives were beginning to be heard, those who were rebelling against the alleged strangle hold the Corporations had on the People. This struggle was vehement in Florida, including Dade County. Florida had almost been forgotten since the Seminole Wars. There were no roads penetrating the 350 miles to Miami. All traffic was through Jacksonville, by rail or water. There resided the big merchants, the promi- nent lawyers and the ruling politicians.

The discussion included identification of key gradients in physical, chemical and biological parameters along tHe SoutHeast coast, a review of current monitoring efforts, and an assessment of stakeHolder needs. Sixteen monitoring locations were identified as potential acidification monitoring locations (see page 12). The following three monitoring locations were HigHligHted as priority sites tHat would furtHer our understanding of the chemistry and regional drivers of ocean acidification and address stakeholder needs: (1) Sapelo Island, GA (2) Gulf Stream, offsHore of Gray’s Reef, GA (3) Biscayne National Park, FL The workshop concluded witH a discussion of logistics and opportunities to pursue monitoring at tHe recommended locations. A copy of tHe agenda is included in Appendix 1. PROCEEDINGS Approximately 16 experts gatHered for tHe SOCAN Monitoring Workshop to outline recommendations for priority ocean acidification monitoring locations in tHe SoutHeast (Attendee List, Appendix 2). The worksHop began witH introductory remarks regarding tHe structure and responsibilities of SOCAN and SECOORA. Following the introductory remarks, participants reviewed the proposed agenda; no modifications were made. The first half-day was spent reviewing tHe state of ocean acidification science and regional response. Kim Yates sHared a syntHesis of tHe 2016 SOCAN State of the Science meeting, wHicH included a review of webinars and key findings related to OA chemistry, modeling and organismal response.

    Florida Department of Transportation RON DESANTIS 1000 N.W. 111 Avenue KEVIN J. THIBAULT, P.E. GOVERNOR Miami, Florida 33172 SECRETARY For Immediate Release Contact: Tish Burgher April 22, 2020 (305) 470-5277 [email protected] Governor DeSantis Announces Upcoming Contract for Tamiami Trail Next Steps Phase 2 MIAMI, Fla. – Today, Governor Ron DeSantis announced the upcoming contract advertisement for the State Road (SR) 90/Tamiami Trail Next Steps Phase 2 Project. “I have worked diligently with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and the National Park Service (NPS) to accelerate this critical infrastructure project,” said Governor Ron DeSantis. “The Tamiami Trail project is a key component of the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan. Elevating the trail will allow for an additional 75 to 80 billion gallons of water a year to flow south into the Everglades and Florida Bay.” In June 2019, Governor DeSantis announced that full funding had been secured to complete the project to elevate the Tamiami Trail. The U.S. Department of Transportation awarded an additional $60 million to the state’s $40 million to fully fund the project, which is critical to the Governor’s plan to preserve the environment. “This is another example of how Governor DeSantis has made preserving our environment and improving Florida’s infrastructure among his top priorities,” said Florida Department of Transportation Secretary Kevin J. Thibault, P.E. “This important project advances both and will also provide much needed jobs.” “Expediting Everglades restoration has been one of the hallmarks of the Governor’s environmental agenda,” said Florida Department of Environmental Protection Secretary Noah Valenstein.
