. . 3.3 Regional centers Although the Big Cypress is the largest growth of cypress swamps in South Florida cypress swamps can be found near the Atlantic Coastal Ridge and between Lake Okeechobee and the Eastern flatwoods as well as in sawgrass marshes Cypresses are deciduous conifers that are uniquely adapted to thrive in flooded conditions with buttressed trunks and root projections that protrude out of the water called "knees" Bald cypress trees grow in formations with the tallest and thickest trunks in the center rooted in the deepest peat As the peat thins out cypresses grow smaller and thinner giving the small forest the appearance of a dome from the outside They also grow in strands slightly elevated on a ridge of limestone bordered on either side by sloughs Other hardwood trees can be found in cypress domes such as red maple swamp bay and pop ash If cypresses are removed the hardwoods take over and the ecosystem is recategorized as a mixed swamp forest, A turning point came for development in the Everglades at the proposal in the late 1960s for an expanded airport after Miami International Airport outgrew its capacities the new jetport was planned to be larger than O'Hare Dulles JFK and LAX airports combined,[citation needed] and the chosen location was 6 miles (9.7 km) north of Everglades National Park the first sentence of the U.S Department of Interior study of the environmental impact of the jetport read "Development of the proposed jetport and its attendant facilities . will inexorably destroy the south Florida ecosystem and thus the Everglades National Park" When studies indicated the proposed jetport would create 4,000,000 US gallons (15,000,000 L) of raw sewage a day and 10,000 short tons (9,100 t) of jet engine pollutants a year the project met staunch opposition the New York Times called it a "blueprint for disaster" and Wisconsin senator Gaylord Nelson wrote to President Richard Nixon voicing his opposition: "It is a test of whether or not we are really committed in this country to protecting our environment." Governor Claude Kirk withdrew his support for the project and Marjory Stoneman Douglas was persuaded at 79 years old to go on tour to give hundreds of speeches against it Nixon instead established Big Cypress National Preserve announcing it in the Special Message to the Congress Outlining the 1972 Environmental Program, On September 9 1994 the United States and Cuba agreed to normalize migration between the two countries the agreement codified the new U.S policy of placing Cuban refugees in safe havens outside the United States while obtaining a commitment from Cuba to discourage Cubans from sailing to America in addition the United States committed to admitting a minimum of 20,000 Cuban immigrants per year That number is in addition to the admission of immediate relatives of U.S citizens.
