HOMESTEAD, Fla. – Everglades National Park is installing new access corridor markers and signs in Florida Bay, as a key component of the park’s integrated 2015 General Management Plan (GMP) implementation strategy to enhance protection and enjoyment of the park’s marine areas. Twisty-mile Channel: to be an idle-speed corridor, and adjacent area a pole/troll zone; Dump Key Channel: a new corridor was installed just south of the original channel; later in 2017, the original channel will be eliminated and be part of a pole/troll zone; North Jimmy Channel: a new corridor to be installed just north of the original channel; later in 2017, the original channel will be eliminated and be part of a pole/troll zone; Pollock Key Channel and Bob Allen South Cut: an alternative on-plane corridor to be installed (called Bob Allen Pass) to improve access and better protect resources; later this year these two short cuts will become part of pole/troll zones.
