		Everglades - Florida Keys ^Votes:0 the everglades eco-tours Everglades Replenishment by Christi Mathews The Everglades National Park, the third largest park in the nation covers more than 2,000 square miles and holds a beauty incomparable to any other place in the world. Serving as home to nearly 300 varieties of birds, 600 kinds of fish and more than 40 indigenous species of plants, the Everglades is a nature lover's paradise. At first glance, much of the Everglades looks like inviting prairie that visitors could easily hike through on a nice day. But looks are deceiving. Most of this plain is actually a shallow, gently flowing river, hidden beneath the tall sawgrass and reeds. Except in the pinelands and hardwood hammmocks, there is water everywhere. Luckily for visitors, well-designed roads, trails and boardwalks keep fe Read More Go to Site

		Okefenokee Swamp Education and Information Center ^Votes:0 Covering approximately 700 square miles of South Georgia and North Florida is a bowl-shaped depression in the coastal plain called The Okefenokee Swamp. Twenty five miles across and forty miles long, Okefenokee is a unique area of primitive wetland which harbors hundreds of birds, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians, many of which are endangered or threatened. Plant life in the Okefenokee varies from towering bald cypress to a seemingly infinite variety of water plants. Many of the plants found in the Okefenokee were used by the Indian inhabitants for food and medicine, long before the first Europeans arrived in the area. Early settlers learned from their Indian hosts the value of natural life and balance with nature. The Okefenokee is comprised of a variety of habitats. The north end of the Read More Go to Site

		Wetlands - Get to Know Them ^Votes:0 Home About DCM Contact DCM CAMA Counties Search DCM Coastal Wetlands :: Get to Know Them While Section 404 of the federal Clean Water Act regulates all types of wetlands, including coastal wetlands, North Carolina's Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) provides additional protection to coastal wetlands. CAMA defines a coastal wetland as any marsh subject to regular or occasional flooding by wind or lunar tides. These marshlands must contain some, but not necessarily all, of 10 particular wetland plants discussed below. For the most part, it's easy to identify coastal wetlands. They generally are located adjacent to salty water, such as a sound or other brackish water body. They are characterized by marsh grasses and rarely contain trees. Although other non-coastal wetlands may be located adj Read More Go to Site
