Everglades Park Faces Endangered Status From Growth
Everglades National Park hosts 23 threatened species and may join the endangered list due to urban encroachment. Wading birds have declined by 90 percent since the 1920s, and fish and alligators face harmful effects from mercury and habitat loss. Cattail encroachment, fueled by nutrient runoff from sugar cane farming, threatens the wetlands around the park. The Florida Legislature requests a water management plan to cut phosphorus by 70 percent in 10 years, converting 40,000 acres of farmland to marsh and costing about 68 million dollars for the initial phase. A federal lawsuit and a push for Congress to add Shark River Slough protection may drive action to safeguard Florida’s water supply and environmental heritage.

Pilots blamed as USAir crash prompts safety review
Federal investigators weigh pilot error after a USAir Boeing 737 400 plunged into the East River near LaGuardia. Co pilot Kleissas 29 and Captain Martin 36 had limited command time on the 737 400. The crash killed two and injured 45, with data showing late abort and uneven thrust from a co pilot error. The probe questions the airline practice of pairing junior pilots on same aircraft and seeks rules for immediate post crash drug and alcohol testing.
