Almost entirely covered by water, this park offers visitors the chance to kayak through its many bays and witness over <strong>400 different species of fish<\/strong>. Biscayne is covered by shallow Biscayne Bay and surrounded by mangrove forests. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The park&rsquo;s ecosystem was significantly altered by canal construction projects in the early to mid-20th century. This altered the salinity profile of the bay. It is a historical treasure trove, with 50 significant archaeological sites dating back to Indian civilisations. There are also 44 documented shipwrecks from Spanish treasure fleets that sailed past the Florida Keys. The first permanent European settlers in the early 19th century established successful lime and pineapple plantations, contributing to the area&rsquo;s agricultural history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-big-cypress-national-preserve\">3.

It&rsquo;s a sanctuary for a myriad of<strong> wildlife species,<\/strong> making it a fantastic spot for wildlife viewing and <strong>bird watching<\/strong>. Big Cypress National Preserve, located in South Florida, stands as the first national preserve in the United States National Park System. Established in 1974, the Preserve spans 720,000 acres and lies adjacent to the freshwater marl prairies of Everglades National Park. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Archaeological evidence shows that people, particularly the Calusa and 19th-century Seminoles, have lived in the area for over two thousand years, steeped in a rich history. The Humble Oil Company discovered Florida&rsquo;s first oil well here in 1943. Later, in the 1960s, the site was proposed for the Miami Jetport. But Native Americans, hunters and environmentalists stopped it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-dry-tortugas-national-park\">4.
