Florida Everglades restoration may help save Earth from climate change - WFSU News This article originally appeared on Inside Climate News, a nonprofit, non-partisan news organization that covers climate, energy and the environment. Sign up for their newsletter here. Restoring Florida's fragile Everglades can help stem the greenhouse gas emissions that are warming the global climate and contributing to hotter temperatures, rising seas and more damaging storms in this particularly vulnerable state, new research has found. The research, published last month in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, shows the freshwater marshes and coastal mangroves of the river of grass absorb some 14 million tons of climate-heating carbon dioxide annually from the Earth's atmosphere. That amount is equal to 10 percent of the emissions coming from Florida roadways, said John Kominoski, a professor in the Institute of Environment at Florida International University and a researcher on the study. "It's almost like an investment in your retirement fund. You start to put it away slowly, and you don't really understand the benefits," said Kominoski, principal investigator of the federally supported Florida Coastal Everglades Long Term Ecological Research Program. "But over time the benefits emerge, and they are more than the sum of their parts. And that's kind of what climate mitigation and...

This Air-Breathing Swamp Eel Is Quietly Taking Over the Florida Everglades Get the hottest outdoor news—plus a free month of onX Hunt Elite. Email address Thank you! By signing up you agree to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Deep in the Florida Everglades, the latest invasive threat to wildlife lies hidden in the marsh, slithering through the water in search of prey and, at times, burying itself in the mud. As a species native to places like India, Burma, and China, this species is a new kind of predator that Florida’s native fish and wildlife aren’t used to competing with. If this animal sounds like a Burmese python, that’s because the serpent-like fish — known as Asian swamp eels — have a lot in common with the big, invasive constrictors. According to some experts in South Florida, the invading eels could pose a similar threat to native food webs and restoration efforts there. “In a sense, this is an even worse invader than the python. We’re talking about a species that is fundamentally altering wetland production,” says Dr. Nathan Dorn, an associate professor at Florida International University who specializes in freshwater ecology and predator-prey interactions in the Everglades. “Don’t get me wrong. I think both of them are devastating...
