Everglades National Park

Urban sprawl in the Everglades can lead to economic growth and improved infrastructure, providing residents with access to jobs and services. However, it also poses significant disadvantages, including habitat destruction, increased pollution, and threats to biodiversity, as natural ecosystems are replaced by urban development. Additionally, sprawl can exacerbate flooding and water management issues, impacting both the environment and local communities. Balancing development with conservation is crucial to mitigate these negative effects.

The Everglades National Park covers approximately 1.5 million acres, which is equivalent to about 2,343 square miles. This vast wetland ecosystem is located in southern Florida and is known for its unique biodiversity and importance as a habitat for numerous species of plants and animals. The Everglades is a critical part of the South Florida ecosystem and plays a crucial role in water filtration and storage.

Some decomposers in the Everglades include bacteria, fungi, and certain types of insects like beetles and ants. These organisms break down dead plant and animal matter, releasing nutrients back into the ecosystem. Decomposers play a crucial role in nutrient cycling and maintaining the overall health of the Everglades ecosystem.

If it's a pile of grass left on the lawn after you mow it, cal it a clump of grass.

About 10,000 to 20,000 people a year the best time to go is September to mid April

Some of the scavengers that live in the swamp are an opossum, crayfish, copperhead snake, box turtle, and a blue jay (bird) there are way more then what I listed though.

We dont have crocodiles or alligators in the Caribbean. What we do have are caymons which are the cousin to both crocks and gators and they're alot smaller

I don't think so because mushrooms need 100%-95% humidity.

Actually, they do. I live in the Mojave desert in California, and my new [three months] lawn has gotten a bunch of them. I'm only watering twice a day for 5 minutes, but it still must be enough to keep the grass moist.

The Everglades like most national parks and environmental sites are under the World Heritage Centre under UNESCO under the United Nations. Here are the lists of other sites too http://whc.unesco.org/en/list .

The above statement is 100%, utterly, and completely FALSE.

Neither the UN nor UNESCO has any control or ownership role in any World Heritage Site WHATSOEVER. Article 6 of the World Heritage Convention specifically disclaims any such ownership or control by UNESCO, something that is completely clear to anybody who takes the time to read it.

Everglades NP, like all parts of the National Parks Service, is administered by that government body and owned by the U.S. government.

Ponce de Leon passed through the Everglades around 1512 when he discovered Florida and went on to map the keys. Ernest F. Coe discovered the Everglades in 1928 and created an association to lobby to have the area a National Park. It is important to understand that there were Native Americans already living there in the 1500s, so the word "discover" probably doesn't apply to the Europeans.

One of the reasons that the Everglades became a national park is because there is no other place like it on this planet. It is a river, several hundred kilometers wide, flowing slowly through wetlands and grass.

There are quite a few endangered animals that currently live in the Florida Everglades. These include the American Crocodile, the American Alligator, various sea turtles, birds, the Florida panther, and the manatee.

The Everglades are subtropical wetlands located in the southern portion of the U.S. state of Florida, comprising the southern half of a large watershed. The system begins near Orlando with the Kissimmee River, which discharges into the vast but shallow Lake Okeechobee. Water leaving the lake in the wet season forms a slow-moving river 60 miles (97 km) wide and over 100 miles (160 km) long, flowing southward across a limestone shelf to Florida Bay at the southern end of the state. The Everglades are shaped by water and fire, experiencing frequent flooding in the wet season and drought in the dry season.

mainly air boat

it is polluted it and if there is no water than the animal there could die
