My dad did a lot of work with the everglades and would take me often on trip with the biologists that work there. I'm so glad you guys made this video, I always felt more people should know about these. I do kind of wish you focused more on the impact the road have on water flow. While the canals and agriculture are big factors I-75 and the Tamiami trail also impact the way waters flow across the everglades since they act as giant dikes and restrict water flow to only a few culverts and channels rather than the massive sheet flow. It may have been improved but there was a time where water would consistently higher on the upriver side of the roads

The story of the Everglades is one known well by my family. They escaped certain death in Scotland when their land was taken from them and they were forced into slavery to the Crown. They risked being executed when they came to America. Eventually, they settled in Florida. They used the crack of a short whip to drive their cattle. This resulted in the term Florida Cracker or just Cracker as some like to use in a derogatory way. A story passed down for generations is how they hid from the Confederate army during the Civil War. They had lost family when forced into slavery in Scotland. It was inconceivable for them to fight and possibly give their lives for someone else to keep slaves. So, they refused to fight for the South. Because of this and because they would not sell their cattle to the Confederate army they were branded outlaws. They had no choice but to drive their cattle down to the Everglades. Once there, they made friends with and traded with the Native tribes hiding in the Everglades. After the war, some of my family returned to their farms and some stayed. However, the government messed up the area with their drain the swamp campaign. This drove the last of them to leave the area and migrate to the Tampa Bay area. I still remember listening to my Great Grandpa telling me stories about being the last Florida Cowboy and about the lessons taught to his family by the Native peoples living in the Everglades.

We have always called them “heads”, the islands that is. You don’t want to be chasing a buck deer with a half track buggy and hit a gator hole. Been there and done that. One thing we would do is go into a head as far as we could go in a airboat, then we would climb down to the ground and you could only do this in very dry periods. Otherwise you would sink into the mud , a whole other problem. But if we were able to get through the thickness of the underbrush, sometimes you would run across an old camp and you could also run across a camp still being used. If a camp was still being used we would always respect the camp, number one we were honest but you never knew who was lurking in the brush. Makes me want to be there, some very good memories. So much to see in what most people would see nothing. God has Blessed the Everglades.

There is a plan to restore the Everglades that has been stagnant for years. The plan was to buy land from the sugar farmers and convert them to filtration ponds. The idea was that filtration ponds would absorb the runoff and contamination from the sugar cane farms. The money has already been allocated. However, there is no political will to start the restoration project as the sugar companies and dairy farmers are the biggest political contributors. They’ve gone so far as to lower water quality standards to avoid penalizing these industries. Florida will continue to lose the Everglades and suffer red tides until Florida leaders step up and get tougher with those industries.

Im from the fingerlakes region of NY and my local lake (oneida) used to be connected to a huge swamp which literally acts like a massive sump filter for the lake, just as this does for floridas water bodies. the last 50 years, local officials have filled in many areas here that disconnected the lake from the filtering swamp and sold filled in lots, took money for granting bad building permits, etc, and its caused our lake to go putrid every year and get huge algal blooms which never were a problem back in the day. Its important that we have elected officials who arent greedy bad people in positions where they can facilitate the protection of these beautiful lands. If we dont encourage and show our youth that this is important, 100 years from now these places will be full of contaminants like oil, plastic, chemicals, etc and the biodiversity will be non existent.

Veronica, you are the much needed "Voice of Reason" here. One thing that I think people forget too, is that we Live on a very dynamic planet and it is changing constantly. If we look at Earth and it's history we will see just how much it has changed over millennia. Scientists have enough evidence to believe that the Antarctic was once a very warm and humid place. Now all of the shifts that were involved in causing this change, I can't help but feel as though if this were happening now, Humanity would believe that WE were the causal factor in it all and that we had better change something that we're doing or that place may end up under ice, or something! Our planet has changed dramatically and so many times, even without Humans being any part of it all AND I believe that things would still be changing now, with or without us being here. While Yes, I believe that we all need to do our best to not exacerbate the affect that we have in and on the World around us, I think it a bit hubris of us to think that we are that important to this planets evolution. Earth was here before us and it will be here long after we're gone. In short: Be good stewards of the Planet... YES, but don't forget to relax and lose the Guilt... As I iterated earlier, we are not that Important to our planet. Enjoy this wonderful playground of ours and don't lose sleep over that candy wrapper that blew out of your car window either. Do your best, but that's all. Keep Smiling...

In an area like this swamp, there are lots (probably hundreds of millions) of little fishes that eat mosquito larvae before they can become adult mosquitoes. I believe dragonfly larvae eat mosquito larvae as well. I find that worse mosquito infestations occur on dry land areas that develop puddles & ephemeral (temporary) ponds, because there are no fishes in them. I catch tiny Gambusia mosquitofishes in swamps around me and put them in my small ponds to keep my yard naturally almost free of mosquitoes, but I find that dragonfly larvae unfortunately prey on the fishes in such confined spaces.

Sure there are a lot of factors to consider in draining the right amount at the right time, etc. - In order to preserve current tree islands and allow more to grow. In the larger, global sense ocean levels are rising and environments are changing so without human interference to mitigate the side effects of global human interference - the everglades along with so much more will be undergo change too quickly for nature to maintain.

@@brodyhess5553 yep, which ends up in the Gulf of Mexico. Katrina destroyed much of the French quarter another storm and Louisiana will be our first coastal basin lost to climate crisis.

The Mississippi River has carried the non biodegradable herbicide chemical toxins from Monsanto/ USDA farms. This has created a massive 250 mile wide DEAD ZONE inside the ocean where all phytoplankton plants are completely dead. There is no oxygen without these microbial plants and hypoxia has caused total death. Please Be glad the Mississippi does not flow into the Florida wetlands or it would be a lifeless Dead Zone too.

The Miccosukee didn't live here for "centuries upon centuries"- they've been here since the 1800's when they came down to escape Andrew Jackson's Trail of Tears. The original Indians were the Tequesta tribe, which are now long since gone.

Bring dirt in, sandbags. This is a problem that can easily be solved. Nobody wants these islands under water or to disappear.
