The Florida Everglades was once a vibrant, free-flowing river of grass that provided clean water from Lake Okeechobee to Florida Bay. Today, this extraordinary ecosystem is dying. The change in water flow of the Everglades has been a direct result of the sugar industry’s disregard for the environment.
