The Future of the Everglades & works cited

-->

Based on the historical trend that the Everglades have slowly diminished over time, the state of the Everglades does not seem to bright in the future. As population increases, more and more residential, and agricultural establishments will be created. This will destroy much of the Everglades, and contribute to the cycle of pollution and devastation to the area. While actions are being taken in order to preserve the area, and national parks have been set up, the devastation that the Everglades is having is sure to continue.
