Excerpt from An Evaluation of Water Management Practices for Optimum Wildlife Benefits in Conservation Area 3a
The Everglades in its original state occupied approximately million acres south of Lake Okeechobee. This region has been aptly described as a friver of Grass by Douglas 1951. Historically the area was dominated by the sedge commonly referred to as Sawgrass. Today only about 50% of the Everglades remains undevel oped. Conservation.area 3 represents the largest remaining unit of the Everglades which is currently protected. Of the 91a square miles acres) in the Con servation.area, 750 square miles acres) lie in that portion of the pool known as 3a. Due to its size and location pool 3a is critical to the proper management of the fish and wildlife resources of the Everglades. Since the com pletion of the pool a number of incidents have illustrated the shortcomings of existing management programs. High water has caused mortality to deer and other mammals. In addition it has destroyed tree island habitat and caused nest flooding for alligators and turtles. Extremely low water levels have caused destructive peat fires, mortality to key wildlife species such as alligators and destruction of crucial tree island habitat.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book focuses on preserving the Everglades region of southern Florida, USA, and how practices can be improved to best benefit its wildlife. The area is managed by various national and state agencies, and this book presents cooperative research between the three main agencies involved in this land management. The centerpiece of the region is Conservation Area 3A (CA3A) and much of the discussion centers on this area. The book provides historical information on the state of the Everglades as a whole, and CA3A specifically, with a particular focus on water levels and how they can be managed to best benefit the wildlife that lives there. This area was originally home to the indigenous Tequesta people for hundreds of years and was rarely visited by European colonizers or settlers until the mid-19th century. By the early 20th century, the area had been significantly altered by drainage projects intended to manage water levels for agricultural and flood control purposes. This book details the cyclical changes in water levels and their impact on the area's ecosystem. The authors present their findings on optimum water level conditions for 10 categories of wildlife and compare them to the current water management practices and resulting conditions. The authors conclude that the current regulation schedule does not provide the best conditions for all types of wildlife and recommend that the gauges at the higher elevations be incorporated into the three gauge stage average used to determine water levels. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
