Everglades National Park
The Everglades ecosystem once stretched across a mosaic of wetlands and subtropical wilderness from Lake Okeechobee to Florida Bay. Unfortunately, by the mid-1900s nearly half of the slow-moving “river of grass” had been drained to make way for farms and urban development. The park was established in 1947, after decades of activism, to preserve a treasured 1.5 million acres of the ecosystem.
The Everglades is a complex mix of salt and freshwater wetlands, hardwood hammocks, and pine rocklands that support a wide variety of flora and fauna. The ecosystem functions as a giant water purifier, filtering and cleaning water that drains from farms and impervious surfaces before reaching Florida Bay and the Ten Thousand Islands. The Everglades also contributes to South Florida’s climate resilience, naturally absorbing the impacts of hurricanes and minimizing coastal erosion and flooding.

The pandemic that at first kept us all inside has now led to an explosion outside. Biking, boating, birding, golfing, camping, and more outdoor activities have seen huge jumps in participation since COVID-19 hit. This leads to a dilemma: Where can we go outside that isn’t crowded?

Ryan and Rebecca Means have plenty of answers. For almost twelve years, the married Florida scientists have run Project Remote, in which they have identified the most remote location in each state as they define it: the place that lies farthest from a road, which they calculate using Geographic Information System data, satellite imagery, and other sources.
