Mangrove

The Mangrove Chapter holds an annual picnic in February for members, visitors, national park leaders, and state and local leaders for good food and a review of local issues. Topics have included Everglades National Park, a Biscayne Bay “no take zone” for fishing and diving, state water issues for Everglades National Park, the Crandon Parks at Key Biscayne Master Plan for the expansion of the tennis complex, and the Virginia Key for the master plan in Miami. We are working as a group to protect these parks from development. We also encourage the state of Florida to buy more land to protect Everglades National Parks and are working to reduce the density in the Florida Keys.
