Description
The Pa-Hay-Okee Overview in the Everglades National Park. This view shows the Shark River Slough. A slough is a slow moving body of Water, the Everglades gas two main sloughs, The Shark River Slough and the somewhat smaller Taylor Slough. Pa-Hay-Okee means "Grassy Waters" and is what the Native Americans that lived in the area called the Everglades.
The Everglades National Park is a subtle place where earth, water, and sky blend in a low green landscape; where mere inches of elevation produce distinct changes in vegetation; and where a great wealth of birds and other wildlife find refuge. For this is almost exclusively a biological park dedicated to the preservation of a complex and precisely ordered living mechanism. It lies at the interface between temperate and sub-tropical America, giving a rich diversity of species, many at the limit of their ranges.
With its special significance to the Nation and the world recognized by making the Everglades a National Park, an International Biosphere Reserve, a World Heritage Site, and a Ramsar Wetland of International Importance, its preservation for the benefit of present and future generations is better assured.
