EcoSense for Living
National Park Under the Sea
S2 • E4 Apr 7, 2017
Biscayne National Park, just south of Miami, is all about what lies beneath. Ninety-five percent of the park is covered in water and is best explored by snorkeling or diving. EcoSense follows a group of divers, some veterans, some disabled, on the park's Maritime Heritage Trail of 6 shipwrecks, complete with submerged historical trail markers. The trail is an opportunity for archaeologists to study the human history of Florida's reef, and for visitors to experience a trail like no other in the National Park System. Pulitzer prize winning biologist E.O. Wilson expands our horizons with his wisdom on how places like national parks can preserve the planet.
