Swamp Eels Wreak Havoc on Small Species at the Florida Coastal Everglades LTER
Since its introduction in 2009, the swamp eel has nearly eliminated several populations of small aquatic species in the Everglades watershed. The new invasive may be more disruptive to the Everglades than the park’s flagship invasive, the Burmese Python, and brings a new challenge to Everglades management and restoration.
