Description Roseate Spoonbill populations in Florida are declining in the estuary sandwiched between the Everglades, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Keys. Poor water management in the Everglades has dramatically altered water depths and salinity levels in Florida Bay. For a wading bird on a special diet, this is life threatening. I think the public says, The Everglades are a national park, everythings okay, says wildlife conservation biologist, Mac Stone. But if you dont protect the waterthe life sourcecoming to it, youve got nothing. You can put up as many fences, signs, whatever. None of it matters if you dont have the water.In addition to the precarious existence of these beautiful birds, theres more at stake. The Florida Bay and the greater Everglades provides millions of dollars to the states economy through recreation, tourism, and commercial fishing; this has activated teams of scientists. The survival of the spoonbills will only come with the survival of the everglades. Spoonbills have become the indicator for the overall health of the Everglades, explains Stone. Theyre representative of the whole ecosystem. They require the fish, and the fish require the submerged aquatic vegetation, and the submerged aquatic vegetation requires the input of freshwater. The warning is quite clear. Spoonbills in Flight is a digital composite and painting.
