• Amazing! AIF poll discovers people don’t like bad deals

  —Central Florida Political Pulse

  By Josh Hafenbrack, Tallahassee Bureau

  TALLAHASSEE — Associated Industries of Florida is touting the results of a new Zogby poll as proof that Floridians overwhelmingly oppose Gov. Charlie Crist’s U.S. Sugar land purchase in the Everglades.

  One problem: The poll question itself steered respondents to a predictable answer.

  “Do you support or oppose [...]

• What the Fanjuls really want: for you to keep paying, and paying and paying ... by gimleteye

  —EYE ON MIAMI

  Number of comments: 4
  It never stops: the action by private corporations and their shareholders to squeeze the maximum value from lands, historic Everglades, in the Everglades Agricultural Area. They wanted cities and suburbs, but the overdevelopment they helped to promote and agitated for, by knocking down regulations, intimidating regulators and thwarting enforcement, helped [...]

• "Fake fruit" society

  —The South Florida Watershed Journal

  Enclosure: [download]

  Wading birds were the Everglades’s original rally cry,
  
  Or rather squawk.
  
  (They make a rather inelegant sound).
  
  
  Plume hunters had decimated most of the major rookeries back at the turn of the century, which is sad enough but all the more so [...]

• Ten year storm

  —The South Florida Watershed Journal

  A few weeks ago I mentioned a decadal trend of rising water in an area of the Everglades known as southern Water Conservation Area 3A.
  
  
  There’s a fairly large dialog regarding "why."
  
  Is it caused by operational changes in the gates that release [...]

  —EYE ON MIAMI

  Number of comments: 2
  The following is from Sierra Club: On Thursday, December 17, the Port of Palm Beach will decide if an “Inland Port” should be built on a site owned by Florida Crystals that the State of Florida calls “incompatible with Everglades Restoration.” The massive container transshipment facility would be sited in [...]

  Good morning.
  
  It's a slow Sunday morning in the South Florida blogosphere. This morning Sift shouldn't take you but a couple of minutes.
  
  A- Wynwood street signs, from Blind Mind.
  
  B- Where do the Everglades begin and where do they' [...]

• Western Everglades?

  —The South Florida Watershed Journal

  Where are the Everglades?
  
  When you’re wading knee deep in the sawgrass there’s no mistake –
  
  They are right there where you are standing.
  
  
  But how about when you’re bouncing along in a buggy under the cypress swamp next door?
  
  They [...]

• Elevating Tamiami Trail and Everglades restoration... by gimleteye

  —EYE ON MIAMI

  Number of comments: 3
  The photo was taken yesterday at the ceremony to commence elevation of one mile of Tamiami Trail: the first construction project for the Everglades that is only for the Everglades and not for cities or agriculture. Unsurprisingly, among the audience of hundreds there were only a few lobbyists from the [...]

• Tidal flows

  —The South Florida Watershed Journal

  Enclosure: [download]

  Tides rise and fall:
  
  The up and down and up and down cycle happens twice daily.
  
  
  That makes knowing the chart (as in tidal) as important as knowing a map (as in coastal) if you venture out to sea by boat from Everglades [...]

• Melaleuca in full bloom

  —The South Florida Watershed Journal

  Melaleuca trees are in full bloom.
  
  Beautiful yes, but don’t be deceived:
  
  They have a reputation as one of the most meddlesome invasive exotic plants in the Everglades.
  
  
  Upon arriving to Big Cypress, I didn’t so much see things with new eyes [...]

  Thank you, Port Everglades. No: to Fanjul venture in middle of Everglades Agricultural Area. There should be no inland port where one isn't needed and doesn't belong. (But watch the governor's race and who contributes to whom.) [...]

• Mystery of the "moving" baseline

  —The South Florida Watershed Journal

  How can the deepest spot in the Everglades be at a record low,
  
  But historically speaking – if you go back decades – also be pretty deep?
  
  Call it the mystery of the Moving Hydrologic Baseline.
  
  
  As their name would suggest, the [...]
