Renowned for its wading birds and wildlife, America’s Everglades is a one-of-a-kind ecosystem that is found nowhere else in the world. From its sawgrass marshes and freshwater ponds to its prairies and forested uplands, this iconic River of Grass is home to dozens of federally threatened and endangered species, including the Florida panther, American crocodile, snail kite and wood stork.
The South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) actively operates and maintains one of the largest water management systems in the world. This vast system of canals, levees, pump stations and other important water management infrastructure is key to protecting water supplies and providing flood control for over 9 million people in Central and Southern Florida.
