Swamp Buggy Environmental Impacts Can Be Very Serious

The Sun-Sentinel reported that swamp buggy and other ORVs, off-road vehicles, are causing damage to Florida Everglades. They said, “There are literally thousands of miles of gouged-out, crisscrossing tire tracks. The muddy ruts, visible from airplanes flying miles above, caused serious, possibly permanent environmental damage. Studies have shown the ORV tracks have harmed habitat for Florida panthers, birds, and other endangered or threatened animal species, killed vast amounts of vegetation, denuded soil down to bedrock, and altered the flow of water through the swamp.”
