Wetlands need a source of water.The Everglades (Florida U.S.) is a very famous wetland.Florida is a peninsula and has access to salt water on three of its sides. The Everglades were named because Marjory Stoneman Douglas described it as “The River of Grass.”
Some parts of the Everglades are being converted to agriculture.Humans are also disrupting the natural environment by keeping the water unnaturally high, trying to keep droughts from occurring.This is causing a decrease in some plant life, such as sawgrass.
What would happen if a dam was built on the main water supply of the Everglades? How would this effect surrounding biomes?
