There was a feature on the news recently that the National Park Service is going to ban air boats from the Everglades National Park. Although these have been used there for many years, they are going to be banned because of the damage they do.

People who have been using air boats in the park are complaining, but there is a large area outside the park that can be used by air boaters.

Cheers to the National Park Service :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Thanks for posting this clip. Very interesting and so beautiful. Yes, Florida is certainly more than just Disney.

Please enlighten this of us who don't live in FL. What exactly is endangering the Everglades?

I can't say that I know a lot of what is endangering the Everglades, but what I have heard of is one, the encroachment of development by reclaiming land from the Glades, and two, loss of water from the Glades, being used for other purposes.
