Our ongoing quest is to find the essence of natural Florida, to answer the question: why is our place like no other? To do this, we dive in. We dive beneath the surface to discover how an ecosystem functions, and how it functions in concert with surrounding ecosystems. We dive in to meet the characters, the rare plants and animals, and the features of our landscape. And sometimes, we dive in quite literally.
