EVERGLADES NATIONAL PARK, FL – AUGUST 05: An alligator floats in a pond within the Florida Everglades after the South Florida Water Administration District introduced it might scale back the dimensions of the deal it had introduced earlier within the 12 months with U.S. Sugar on August 5, 2010 within the Everglades Nationwide Park, Florida. The unique proposal, introduced in 2008, was to purchase all the U.S. Sugar Companies belongings and use the land to replenish the Everglades, letting water from Lake Okeechobee run its pure route. The plan now due to state price range lower backs is to purchase 26,800 acres and retain a 10-year choice to purchase the remainder of the land. (Photograph by Joe Raedle/Getty Photos)
