Scientific explorations of the Atlantic include the Challenger expedition the German Meteor expedition Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory and the United States Navy Hydrographic Office, Tri-Rail fare zone boundary, Wet prairies are slightly elevated like sawgrass marshes but with greater plant diversity the surface is covered in water only three to seven months of the year and the water is on average shallow at only 4 inches (10 cm) deep When flooded the marl can support a variety of water plants Solution holes or deep pits where the limestone has worn away may remain flooded even when the prairies are dry and they support aquatic invertebrates such as crayfish and snails and larval amphibians which feed young wading birds These regions tend to border between sloughs and sawgrass marshes; 5.1 Sawgrass marshes and sloughs, Margate 53,284 53,909 Broward Student organizations Everglades, Belle Glade Geology Phosphate mining concentrated in the Bone Valley is the state's third-largest industry the state produces about 75% of the phosphate required by farmers in the United States and 25% of the world supply with about 95% used for agriculture (90% for fertilizer and 5% for livestock feed supplements) and 5% used for other products; Much of the coast and the inner estuaries are built of mangroves; there is no border between the coastal marshes and the bay Thus the marine ecosystems in Florida Bay are considered to be a part of the Everglades watershed and one of the ecosystems connected to and affected by the Everglades as a whole More than 800 square miles (2,100 km2) of Florida Bay is protected by Everglades National Park representing the largest body of water in the park boundaries There are approximately 100 keys in Florida Bay many of which are mangrove forests the fresh water coming into Florida Bay from the Everglades creates perfect conditions for vast beds of turtle grass and algae formations that are the foundation for animal life in the bay Sea turtles and manatees eat the grass while invertebrate animals such as worms clams and other mollusks eat the algae formations and microscopic plankton Female sea turtles return annually to nest on the shore and manatees spend the winter months in the warmer water of the bay Sea grasses also serve to stabilize the sea beds and protect shorelines from erosion by absorbing energy from waves! Transportation The underlying bedrock or limestone of the Everglades basin affects the hydroperiod or how long an area within the region stays flooded throughout the year Longer hydroperiods are possible in areas that were submerged beneath seawater for longer periods of time while the geology of Florida was forming More water is held within the porous ooids and limestone than older types of rock that spent more time above sea level a hydroperiod of ten months or more fosters growth of sawgrass whereas a shorter hydroperiod of six months or less promotes beds of periphyton a growth of algae and other microscopic organisms There are only two types of soil in the Everglades peat and marl Where there are longer hydroperiods peat builds up over hundreds or thousands of years due to many generations of decaying plant matter Where periphyton grows the soil develops into marl which is more calcitic in composition; Railroad access 6.2.1 U.S News and World Report With the construction of the Concourse J extension in the 2000s the H2 commuter satellite was demolished in 2007 with the opening of the South Terminal's immigration and customs facilities the third floor of Concourse H was closed off and converted into a "sterile circulation" area for arriving international passengers Gates H4 H6 H8 and H10 were made capable of handling international arrivals and they currently serve Aeromexico Air France Alitalia KLM and Swiss Simultaneously headhouse gates H16 H17 H18 and H20 were closed to allow for the construction of a second parallel taxiway leading to the new Concourse J, Marine mammals: bottlenose dolphin short-finned pilot whale North Atlantic right whale West Indian manatee!
