Florida Bay Forever Makes a Difference
“I am excited that this plate is finally moving forward and that it could potentially provide a significant ongoing revenue stream to improve park operations and visitor amenities. This is not only important to the Park but is also beneficial to the "Gateway" City of Homestead.”
Stephen ShelleyCouncilman
“Hurricane season, floodings, and the COVID-19 pandemic have seriously affected national park attendance. Selling 3,000 Florida Bay Forever specialty tags before the end of next year would put us in a privileged position to continue helping the Everglades National Park as we've been doing since 1951.”
Jim SuttonExecutive Director of the FNPA
“I was in Everglades National Park to photograph a sunrise over Florida Bay when I noticed a classic Florida Bay fishing scene. With a little patience, timing, and luck I was able to capture the angler mid-cast with the birds flying through the scene.”
