Wetlands In The Everglades
Fertile soil, with moss embedded, is scattered near the extensive bodies of water present. Animals coexist in harmony with one another in this ecosystem, known as the Everglades. Wetlands are a natural part of our earth, and an essential place for wildlife to thrive. However, the wildlife's health has been decreasing continually in the Everglades due to water pollution/depletion and its negative effects. This issue can be ended by ceasing further human development of the Everglades, hindering the process of over draining and uneven water distribution, addressing regional degradation by increasing water quality, and investigating the impact of currently enacted Everglade's water management systems. As previously addressed, human interference

Uneven water distribution caused by water loss along canals is very common along the eastern boundary of the park. Different levels of hydration leads to either too damp or too arid ecosystems. The Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) has several projects designated specifically to water rehabilitation to ensure even spreading of water. The first plan, The Decompartmentalization of Water Conservation Area-3, will, according to "The Restoration of the Everglades Park" article, "fill canals and remove levees…" Doing so will restore the natural current of water, as well as increase ecological connectivity. Another important component of the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan, known as the ENP Seepage Management, will, according to the article, "…reduce water loss along the eastern boundary of the park." The ENP Seepage Management plans to increase equal dissemination by ending the precaution of keeping water levels artificially low outside of the park. Low amounts of water outside of the park created an excess of water within. However, this preemptive measure was taken to protect, according to the article, "adjacent urban and agricultural lands from floods." Therefore, the CERP has instituted one final project relating to equal rehydration in the Everglades. It is known as the C-111 Spreader Canal Project. The C-111 Spreader Canal Project's purpose is to build canals that will separate equivalent amounts of water to restore natural flows to Florida Bay and other key areas near and part of the
