Two recent documents related to Everglades National Park's planning process were developed in response to interest expressed in public meetings held to review draft alternatives of the GMP. Two scientific studies were undertaken to expand knowledge on the seagrass damage in Florida Bay and to better understand boat use in Florida Bay and Ten Thousand Islands. These studies were completed in January of 2009 and can be downloaded by clicking the highlighted text below.
