The Everglades (or Pa-hay-okee) are a natural region of tropicalwetlands 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 river60 miles (97km) wide and over 100 miles (160km) long, flowing southward across a limestone shelf to Florida Bay at the southern end of the state. The Everglades experience a wide range of weather patterns, from frequent flooding in the wet season to drought in the dry season. Writer Marjory Stoneman Douglas popularized the term "River of Grass" to describe the sawgrass marshes, part of a complex system of interdependent ecosystems that include cypress swamps, the estuarinemangrove forests of the Ten Thousand Islands, tropical hardwood hammocks, pine rockland, and the marine environment of Florida Bay.
Human habitation in the southern portion of the Florida peninsula dates to 15,000years ago. Before European colonization, the region was dominated by the native Calusa and Tequesta tribes. With Spanish colonization, both tribes declined gradually during the following two centuries. The Seminole formed from mostly Creek people who had been warring to the North; they assimilated other peoples and created a new culture. After being forced from northern Florida into the Everglades during the Seminole Wars of the early 19th century, they were able to resist removal by the United States Army. They adapted to the region.
The Everglades is an American crime-adventure television series that aired in syndication for one season from 1961–62 and in reruns. Ron Hayes starred as Constable Lincoln Vail, a law enforcement officer of the fictional Everglades County Patrol who traveled the Florida Everglades in an airboat, a vehicle which was often the focus of the program. Hayes, a northern California actor and stuntman, was an avid outdoorsman and conservationist.
Gordon Casell appeared in five of the 38 half-hour episodes as Chief Anderson, Vail's superior. Steve Brodie made three appearances as Captain Andy Benson; Dan Chandler was twice cast as Vail's sidekick, airboat guide Pete Hammond. Future film star Burt Reynolds appeared twice in the role of Lew Johnson and once as Trask.

Everglades - A River of Grass
There is no place on the planet like the Everglades. It is where two great biomes of life meet - the tropical and the temperate mid-latitude, which makes up much of the continental United States. Plants and animals from each coalesce in the Everglades to produce a sub tropical tapestry of ecosystems that is unmatched anywhere in the world.
Spanning over 60 miles it is the widest river in the world. It has been described as a river of grass…this wonderland of life is a subtropical paradise that mystifies the mind and nurtures the soul.

How the U.S. Government Broke the Everglades | Everglades National Park
After a devastating hurricane and chronic flooding issues, the US Government, along with the State of Florida, embarked on a project which would change the face of the Everglades forever.
This is the story of how the Everglades were drained.
An ecosystem which once spread from Central Florida to Florida Bay was reduced to what is now Everglades National Park. An area that was crucial for filtering pollutants and providing habitat, and as a source of freshwater, became a series of agricultural fields and reservoirs.
Even Everglades National Park wasn’t spared. Because, the Greater Everglades Ecosystem, and the water that moved through it, was highly interconnected. Draining the upper Everglades had catastrophic consequences for the ecology of the lower Everglades because it severed a t...

North America’s National Parks are world famous and their breathtaking landscapes fascinate millions of visitors. This spectacular series will show you what happens beyond the lookouts.
Everglades National Park is an American national park that protects the southern twenty percent of the original Everglades in Florida. The park is the largest tropical wilderness in the United States, and the largest wilderness of any kind east of the Mississippi River. An average of one million people visit the park each year. Everglades is the third-largest national park in the contiguous United States after Death Valley and Yellowstone. UNESCO declared the Everglades & Dry Tortugas Biosphere Reserve in 1976, and listed the park as a World Heritage Site in 1979, while the Ramsar Convention included the park on its list of Wetlands of International Importance in 1987. Everglades is one of only three locations in the world to appear on all three lists.
Most national parks preserve unique geographic features; Everglades National Park was the first created to protect a fragile ecosystem. The Everglades are a network of wetlands and forests fed by a river flowing 0.25 miles (0.40 km) per day out of Lake Okeechobee, southwest into Florida Bay. The park is the most significant breeding ground for tropical wading birds in North America and contains the largest mangrove ecosystem in the Western Hemisphere. Thirty-six threatened or protected species inhabit the park, including the Florida panther, the American crocodile, and the West Indian manatee, along with 350 species of birds, 300 species of fresh and saltwater fish, 40 species of mammals, and 50 species of reptiles. The majority of South Florida's fresh water, which is stored in the Biscayne Aquifer, is recharged in the park.
Humans have lived for thousands of years in or around the Everglades. Plans arose in 1882 to drain the wetlands and develop the land for agricultural and residential use. As the 20th century progressed, water flow from Lake Okeechobee was increasingly controlled and diverted to enable explosive growth of the South Florida metropolitan area. The park was established in 1934, to protect the quickly vanishing Everglades, and dedicated in 1947, as major canal building projects were initiated across South Florida. The ecosystems in Everglades National Park have suffered significantly from human activity, and restoration of the Everglades is a politically charged issue in South Florida.

After a devastating hurricane and chronic flooding issues, the US Government, along with the State of Florida, embarked on a project which would change the face of the Everglades forever.
This is the story of how the Everglades were drained.
An ecosystem which once spread from Central Florida to Florida Bay was reduced to what is now Everglades National Park. An area that was crucial for filtering pollutants and providing habitat, and as a source of freshwater, became a series of agricultural fields and reservoirs.
Even Everglades National Park wasn’t spared. Because, the Greater Everglades Ecosystem, and the water that moved through it, was highly interconnected. Draining the upper Everglades had catastrophic consequences for the ecology of the lower Everglades because it severed a thousand-year-old hydrological connection.
Efforts have been made since to restore the unique hydrology of this area, including one of the largest ecological restoration efforts in US History, but the Everglades have seen irreparable damage.
The draining of the Everglades is a lesson in the interconnectedness of ecological systems, and how these systems rarely fit within the political boundaries we set for them. Human disturbances often have impacts far beyond their immediate areas, and the more we learn about these impacts, the more we can begin to stop them from happening in the first place.

North America’s National Parks are world famous and their breathtaking landscapes fascinate millions of visitors. This spectacular series will show you what happens beyond the lookouts.
Everglades National Park is an American national park that protects the southern twenty percent of the original Everglades in Florida. The park is the largest tropical wilderness in the United States, and the largest wilderness of any kind east of the Mississippi River. An average of one million people visit the park each year. Everglades is the third-largest national park in the contiguous United States after Death Valley and Yellowstone. UNESCO declared the Everglades & Dry Tortugas Biosphere Reserve in 1976, and listed the park as a World Heritage Site in 1979, while the Ramsar Convention included the park on its list of Wetlands of International Importance in 1987. Everglades is one of only three locations in the world to appear on all three lists.
Most national parks preserve unique geographic features; Everglades National Park was the first created to protect a fragile ecosystem. The Everglades are a network of wetlands and forests fed by a river flowing 0.25 miles (0.40 km) per day out of Lake Okeechobee, southwest into Florida Bay. The park is the most significant breeding ground for tropical wading birds in North America and contains the largest mangrove ecosystem in the Western Hemisphere. Thirty-six threatened or protected species inhabit the park, including the Florida panther, the American crocodile, and the West Indian manatee, along with 350 species of birds, 300 species of fresh and saltwater fish, 40 species of mammals, and 50 species of reptiles. The majority of South Florida's fresh water, which is stored in the Biscayne Aquifer, is recharged in the park.
Humans have lived for thousands of years in or around the Everglades. Plans arose in 1882 to drain the wetlands and develop the land for agricultural and residential use. As the 20th century progressed, water flow from Lake Okeechobee was increasingly controlled and diverted to enable explosive growth of the South Florida metropolitan area. The park was established in 1934, to protect the quickly vanishing Everglades, and dedicated in 1947, as major canal building projects were initiated across South Florida. The ecosystems in Everglades National Park have suffered significantly from human activity, and restoration of the Everglades is a politically charged issue in South Florida.

Coyote Peterson is back in the Florida Everglades and he is about to get up close and personal with one its notorious giant serpents…the only problem is, it doesn’t belong here! The Burmese Python, native to Southeast Asia, is thriving in this habitat but unfortunately is an invasive species that has slowly become a threat to other local wildlife and the overall stability of the ecosystem. It is believed a large number of these snakes have been introduced to the area by prior pet owners in an effort to rid themselves of a snake that has grown too large for their care. So in this episode not only will Coyote show you all of the cool features this enormous python has to offer but will also put into perspective just how large these snakes can become and why owning a burmese python is not a decision to make lightly. Get ready…Coyote is about to get tangled with a 12 foot constrictor!

There is no place on the planet like the Everglades. It is where two great biomes of life meet - the tropical and the temperate mid-latitude, which makes up much of the continental United States. Plants and animals from each coalesce in the Everglades to produce a sub tropical tapestry of ecosystems that is unmatched anywhere in the world.
Spanning over 60 miles it is the widest river in the world. It has been described as a river of grass…this wonderland of life is a subtropical paradise that mystifies the mind and nurtures the soul.
After a devastating hurricane and chronic flooding issues, the US Government, along with the State of Florida, embarked on a project which would change the face of the Everglades forever.
This is the story of how the Everglades were drained.
An ecosystem which once spread from Central Florida to Florida Bay was reduced to what is now Everglades National Park. An area that was crucial for filtering pollutants and providing habitat, and as a source of freshwater, became a series of agricultural fields and reservoirs.
Even Everglades National Park wasn’t spared. Because, the Greater Everglades Ecosystem, and the water that moved through it, was highly interconnected. Draining the upper Everglades had catastrophic consequences for the ecology of the lower Everglades because it severed a thousand-year-old hydrological connection.
Efforts have been made since to restore the unique hydrology of this area, including one of the largest ecological restoration efforts in US History, but the Everglades have seen irreparable damage.
The draining of the Everglades is a lesson in the interconnectedness of ecological systems, and how these systems rarely fit within the political boundaries we set for them. Human disturbances often have impacts far beyond their immediate areas, and the more we learn about these impacts, the more we can begin to stop them from happening in the first place.

The Everglades (or Pa-hay-okee) are a natural region of tropicalwetlands 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 river60 miles (97km) wide and over 100 miles (160km) long, flowing southward across a limestone shelf to Florida Bay at the southern end of the state. The Everglades experience a wide range of weather patterns, from frequent flooding in the wet season to drought in the dry season. Writer Marjory Stoneman Douglas popularized the term "River of Grass" to describe the sawgrass marshes, part of a complex system of interdependent ecosystems that include cypress swamps, the estuarinemangrove forests of the Ten Thousand Islands, tropical hardwood hammocks, pine rockland, and the marine environment of Florida Bay.
Human habitation in the southern portion of the Florida peninsula dates to 15,000years ago. Before European colonization, the region was dominated by the native Calusa and Tequesta tribes. With Spanish colonization, both tribes declined gradually during the following two centuries. The Seminole formed from mostly Creek people who had been warring to the North; they assimilated other peoples and created a new culture. After being forced from northern Florida into the Everglades during the Seminole Wars of the early 19th century, they were able to resist removal by the United States Army. They adapted to the region.
