There are about 3,000 different types of wildflowers in Florida This is the third-most diverse state in the union behind California and Texas both larger states in Florida wild populations of coconut palms extend up the East Coast from Key West to Jupiter Inlet and up the West Coast from Marco Island to Sarasota Many of the smallest coral islands in the Florida Keys are known to have abundant coconut palms sprouting from coconuts that have drifted or been deposited by ocean currents Coconut palms are cultivated north of south Florida to roughly Cocoa Beach on the East Coast and the Tampa Bay Area on the West Coast, The remainder of the ridge was discovered in the 1920s by the German Meteor expedition using echo-sounding equipment the exploration of the MAR in the 1950s led to the general acceptance of seafloor spreading and plate tectonics, 1880 257 202.4% The Safety Valve is a series of shallow sand flats separated by tidal flow channels stretching about 8 miles (13 km) from the south end of Key Biscayne to the Ragged Keys at the north end of the Florida Keys the term "safety valve" was applied to the tidal flats by Ralph Munroe who argued against building a causeway and bridges connecting Key Biscayne to the Ragged Keys and beyond on the grounds that such construction would block the free outflow of storm surges from the bay across the flats to the ocean It is believed that it does moderate the effects of storm surges on the bay the transportation of sand southward along the Atlantic Coast of Florida by longshore drift ends in the area of the Safety Valve the structure of the Safety Valve has been stable for at least the last century Stiltsville is a collection of buildings on pilings on several sand flats at the northern end of the Safety Valve. In 2008 the State of Florida agreed to buy U.S Sugar and all of its manufacturing and production facilities for an estimated $1.7 billion Florida officials indicated they intended to allow U.S Sugar to process for six more years before dismissing its employees and dismantling the plant the area which includes 187,000 acres (760 km2) of land would then be rehabilitated and water flow from Lake Okeechobee would be restored in November 2008 the agreement was revised to offer $1.34 billion allowing sugar mills in Clewiston to remain in production Critics of the revised plan say that it ensures sugarcane will be grown in the Everglades for at least another decade Further research is being done to address the continuing production of sugarcane in the Everglades to minimize phosphorus runoff. A storm over the Shark River in the Everglades 1966 West Park To conduct business overseas multinational companies need to bridge separate national markets into one global marketplace There are two macro-scale factors that underline the trend of greater globalization the first consists of eliminating barriers to make cross-border trade easier (e.g free flow of goods and services and capital referred to as "free trade") the second is technological change particularly developments in communication information processing and transportation technologies. With the construction of the Concourse J extension in the 2000s the H2 commuter satellite was demolished in 2007 with the opening of the South Terminal's immigration and customs facilities the third floor of Concourse H was closed off and converted into a "sterile circulation" area for arriving international passengers Gates H4 H6 H8 and H10 were made capable of handling international arrivals and they currently serve Aeromexico Air France Alitalia KLM and Swiss Simultaneously headhouse gates H16 H17 H18 and H20 were closed to allow for the construction of a second parallel taxiway leading to the new Concourse J, 1.5 2000s to 2010s TopCounselingSchools.org 2016: ranked among the top value master's degrees in counseling in Florida (Adrian Dominican School of Education), The Central and Southern Florida Flood Control Project's final construction project was straightening the Kissimmee River a meandering 90-mile (140 km)-long river that was drained to make way for grazing land and agriculture the C&SF started building the C-38 canal in 1962 and the effects were seen almost immediately Waterfowl wading birds and fish disappeared prompting conservationists and sport fishers to demand the region be restored before the canal was finished in 1971 in general C&SF projects had been criticized for being temporary fixes that ignored future consequences costing billions of dollars with no end in sight After Governor Bob Graham initiated the Save Our Everglades campaign in 1983 the first section of the canal was backfilled in 1986 Graham announced that by 2000 the Everglades would be restored as closely as possible to its pre-drainage state the Kissimmee River Restoration project was approved by Congress in 1992 It is estimated that it will cost $578 million to convert only 22 miles (35 km) of the canal the entire project was to be complete by 2011 yet as of 2017 the project is "more than halfway complete" and the new completion date is 2020.

In July 2011 Downtown's office vacancy rate was reported at 21% dropping from a high of 26% in mid-2010 Downtown also reported an average commercial asking rate of $36.33 making it the eighth-highest in the nation after Manhattan Washington DC Fairfield County Connecticut San Francisco and Boston, 3 School board members, The Everglades are a complex system of interdependent ecosystems Marjory Stoneman Douglas described the area as a "River of Grass" in 1947 though that metaphor represents only a portion of the system the area recognized as the Everglades prior to drainage was a web of marshes and prairies 4,000 square miles (10,000 km2) in size Borders between ecosystems are subtle or imperceptible These systems shift grow and shrink die or reappear within years or decades Geologic factors climate and the frequency of fire help to create maintain or replace the ecosystems in the Everglades. 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, 3.7.6 Wolfsonian Library Geographical influences: There are many different geographic factors that affect international business These factors are: the geographical size the climatic challenges happening throughout the world the natural resources available on a specific territory the population distribution in a country etc, During Maidique's tenure the university added 22 new doctoral programs Research expenditures grew from about $6 million to nearly $110 million as defined by the National Science Foundation in 2000 FIU attained the highest ranking in the Carnegie Foundation classification system that of "Doctoral/Research University-Extensive."
