Human Impact The Florida everglades is one of the ecosystems most affected by humans. Since around 1900 people have been draining the wetlands for agricultural purposes. The “Central and South Florida Projects” were operations which had canals built to do the draining of the water, into the ocean. The draining caused many native plants to die and promoted the growth of algae.

Quiz 1. Marshes, swamps, and bogs are examples of: Estuaries Terrestrial Biomes Freshwater Wetlands Oceans 2. Which of the following is true regarding the importance of wetlands? They help prevent flooding They recharge aquifers They filter pollutants All of these 3. Most of the freshwater biomes in Michigan are considered bogs. True False

Answers 1)A 2)D 3)false
