Sea Level Rise - Less Freshwater

Rising seas due to climate change means that Florida Bay may be more like the Gulf of Mexico, with less diversity of life and supporting fewer habitats.

Roads can block and divert freshwater. The state constructed the Tamiami Trail (Hwy 41) across the Everglades in the 1920s, blocking natural surface water flows through the Everglades to Florida Bay.

IM-01.01-131D

Dry conditions and intense sun cause water to evaporate out of Florida Bay, leaving salt behind and dramatically increasing salinity.

Below the surface of Florida Bay lies a breathtaking underwater environment. Sharks and crocodiles compete with anglers for gamefish like tarpon and snook. Sea turtles glide below the surface while crabs and lobsters prowl among the dense vegetation. At the core of this ecosystem, is seagrass. Sea grass provides food to tiny shrimp larvae, massive manatees, and everything in between. The bay's Aoor is designated as a wilderness area to protect its stunning biodiversity.

BACKGROUND

To help protect seagrass, the Park has established pole/troll zones in Florida Bay.

In these zones. recreational boaters must turn off and raise their engines so they do not damage the underwater habitat.

Everglades National Park did not exist in the early 1900s. Poachers overran the region, slaughtering nesting birds for their plumes and leaving their chicks to die in their nests. Many species were almost lost forever.

Murdered by poachers, game warden Guy Bradley gave his life trying to protect nearby rookeries.

Today's conservation movement exists, in large part, due to Bradley's legacy. Everglades National Pari< the first national pari< set aside for its biological diversity-works to honor Bradley's sacrifice.

Traditional native chickees, homes '' with thatched roofs and open sides, were usually accompanied by continuously burning fires for mosquito control. Some Miccosukee and Seminole continue to use smoke for mosquito prevention today.

National Anthropological Archj,,os, Smithsonian Institution Nag. No. 1178-N-8-1

South Florida's historical communities have endured a number of mosquito-borne plagues. Modern disease prevention has largely eliminated such threats in Florida, but visitors should still take precautions to protect themselves from bites.

Welcome to Florida Bay You are standing at the southern tip of mainland Florida. Here, the freshwater flowing through the Everglades mixes with saltwater in Florida Bay. With lower salinity during the wet season than the nearby Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean, the bay is an estuary-a nursery for marine life. Sharks, manatees, tarpon, crocodiles, and wading birds can all be found in this dynamic environment. This place has withstood hurricanes, pollution, poaching, and overfishing, but faces additional threats from climate change today.

M ch of the Flamingo area is higher and dryer than the surrounding wetlands. The N PS saw the area's slightly higher elevation as a prime location for recreational development.

This space once hosted a coffee shop for park visitors. The N PS has worked to bala nee the evolving needs of the park while preserving this historic space.

When the park was established, Flamingo Village was a small cluster of homes and businesses. The NPS eventually turned it into a major visitor destination.

ManAtees are eaten by humans

Manatees in Flamingo are Florida manatees (Trichechus manatus latirostris), a subspecies of the West Indian manatee.

Scene 4, Content Group 1

Manatees consume about 10 percent of their body weight in seagrass every day. This builds up a lot of gas, which aids buoyancy. When it is time to dive, manatees release their gas, leaving bubbles on the surface.

Florida Bay's Beloved Gentle Giants Look out the window, and you may see a manatee. Warm waters and abundant seagrass make Florida Bay a paradise. Yet, habitat destruction and overhunting once made Florida manatees hard to spot. One 1950s writer recorded only 13 manatees during six and a half years of boating in the park. Conservation efforts rescued these gentle giants from extinction. As of 2020, despite threats from boat strikes, toxic red tide, and fishing gear, more than 6,000 manatees may live in Florida.

Mammals Like Us Even though they live in the water, manatees are mammals. In fact, they are distant relatives of elephants. Like other mammals, manatees have live births, and calves are born underwater. Unlike other mammals, they have no neck vertebrae, meaning they have to turn their entire body to look around. Manatees surface for air about every five minutes, but can stay underwater for up to 20 minutes.

Listen for an exhale and look for their faces peeking above the surface.

Think This Is?

Surprised? Manatee rib bones are dense and act like a diver's weight belt, allowing them to stay submerged. But these heavy bones can also break when hit by a boat. Boat strikes make up half of all manatee deaths in Florida, and most manatees bear some propeller scars. On the water, watch for manatees and travel at slower speeds to help keep them safe.

In 1981, researchers noted only 18 crocodile hatchlings in Everglades National Park. In 2014, they noted 962 hatch lings.

American crocodiles are considered a "flagship" species for the Everglades ecosystem.

Scientists monitor the crocodile population as an indication of the area's overall health.

A sharp decrease may indicate that additional conservation is needed.

What Threatens a Crocodile?

Flamingo is "America's Crocodile Capital," the best place to see American crocodiles in the United States. Despite their intimidating appearance, these reclusive reptiles have more to fear from people than we from them. Human activities threaten nesting sites, leading to fewer hatched eggs. In the 1980s, the National Park Service closed a small section of northeast Florida Bay, known locally as the "Crocodile Sanctuary," to protect nesting habitats. These efforts have helped downgrade crocodiles from endangered to threatened.

The larvae that hatch must make a perilous journey back to Florida Bay and the relative safety of the mangrove swamps.

Tarpon is one of the oldest fish species on earth. They have a special swim bladder that allows them to "breathe" air at the surface while swimming in oxygen-poor water.

The Mighty Tarpon Known for their size, strength, beauty, and acrobatics, tarpon thrive in the low salinity and abundant mangrove and seagrass habitats of Florida Bay. These mighty fish draw anglers from all over the globe. To protect tarpon, state regulations prohibit their commercial sale.

Recreational anglers must catch and release or buy a state-issued permit to keep the fish.

Look for tarpon rolling and gulping air on the surface of the Flamingo Marina, or cruising along the seagrass flats offshore.

World-Class Fishing Fishing is the only form of hunting permitted in most national parks. The diverse coastal environments created by the freshwater flowing from the Everglades make this park home to over 290 species of fish. These include sea trout, bass, snapper, and redfish. In the past, people fished in Florida Bay for food or for profit. Today's goal? Reel in the largest catch, take a photo, and release. Anglers gather every year for fishing tournaments.

IM-04.03-122

Anglers need a state-issued fishing license to fish in Everglades National Park To protect the tarpon and other fish in Florida Bay, only certain kinds of bait are allowed.

A special tape measure allows anglers to determine a tarpon's weight using its length, while keeping the fish in the water. The 62-inch tarpon displ;iyed here would weigh 75 pounds.

Faces of Flamingo: Jessica Lee From Florida Bay to the backcountry waterways, many anglers possess detailed knowledge of the Everglades. To leverage this expertise, Jessica Lee, a Florida International University graduate student, created the Coastal Angler Science Team (CASTI.

In the CAST program, anglers and researchers work together in a fisheries mark-recapture study. This allows them to track and study the fish's movement and survival patterns. The work done by Lee and others provided valuable information about the health of the fish populations within the park.

Jessica Lee poses with a tagged nsh that she caught and then safely returned to the water. Flamingo was the launch point for several of her research trips.

Which Mangrove is It?

The Everglades is home to the largest connected strand of mangrove trees in North America. Three types of these twisting, salt-tolerant trees grow in the park.

Look for long seed- like propagules, hanging from the red mangrove's branches. Propagules grow out of the fruit while still attached to the parent tree. Eventually, they fall into the water and Aoat to a new location to take root.
