Other species endemic to the Sargasso Sea include the sargassum fish a predator with algae-like appendages which hovers motionless among the Sargassum Fossils of similar fishes have been found in fossil bays of the former Tethys Ocean in what is now the Carpathian region that were similar to the Sargasso Sea It is possible that the population in the Sargasso Sea migrated to the Atlantic as the Tethys closed at the end of the Miocene around 17 Ma the origin of the Sargasso fauna and flora remained enigmatic for centuries the fossils found in the Carpathians in the mid-20th century often called the "quasi-Sargasso assemblage" finally showed that this assemblage originated in the Carpathian Basin from where it migrated over Sicily to the Central Atlantic where it evolved into modern species of the Sargasso Sea, Regional centers Everglades Although the Big Cypress is the largest growth of cypress swamps in South Florida cypress swamps can be found near the Atlantic Coastal Ridge and between Lake Okeechobee and the Eastern flatwoods as well as in sawgrass marshes Cypresses are deciduous conifers that are uniquely adapted to thrive in flooded conditions with buttressed trunks and root projections that protrude out of the water called "knees" Bald cypress trees grow in formations with the tallest and thickest trunks in the center rooted in the deepest peat As the peat thins out cypresses grow smaller and thinner giving the small forest the appearance of a dome from the outside They also grow in strands slightly elevated on a ridge of limestone bordered on either side by sloughs Other hardwood trees can be found in cypress domes such as red maple swamp bay and pop ash If cypresses are removed the hardwoods take over and the ecosystem is recategorized as a mixed swamp forest, Early history In the Western Central Atlantic catches have been decreasing since 2000 and reached 1.3 million tons in 2013 the most important species in the area Gulf menhaden reached a million tons in the mid-1980s but only half a million tons in 2013 and is now considered fully fished Round sardinella was an important species in the 1990s but is now considered overfished Groupers and snappers are overfished and northern brown shrimp and American cupped oyster are considered fully fished approaching overfished 44% of stocks are being fished at unsustainable levels; .

European arrival The consistent Everglades flooding is fed by the extensive Kissimmee Caloosahatchee Miami Myakka and Peace Rivers in central Florida the Kissimmee River is a broad floodplain that empties directly into Lake Okeechobee which at 730 square miles (1,900 km2) with an average depth of 9 feet (2.7 m) is a vast but shallow lake Soil deposits in the Everglades basin indicate that peat is deposited where the land is flooded consistently throughout the year Calcium deposits are left behind when flooding is shorter the deposits occur in areas where water rises and falls depending on rainfall as opposed to water being stored in the rock from one year to the next Calcium deposits are present where more limestone is exposed, Pan American World Airways ("Pan Am") the other longtime key carrier at MIA was acquired by Delta Air Lines in 1991 but filed for bankruptcy shortly thereafter Its remaining international routes from Miami to Europe and Latin America were sold to United Airlines for $135 million as part of Pan Am's emergency liquidation that December United's Latin American hub offered 24 daily departures in the summer of 1992 growing to 36 daily departures to 21 destinations in the summer of 1994 but returned to 24 daily departures in the summer of 1995 and never expanded further United ended flights from Miami to South America and shut down its Miami crew base in May 2004 reallocating most Miami resources to its main hub in O'Hare International Airport in Chicago United ceased all mainline service to Miami in 2005 with the introduction of its low-cost product Ted, (1,299) In 2012 75% of the population lived within 10 miles (16 km) of the coastline. Maryland House of Delegates Miami's road system is based along the numerical Miami grid where Flagler Street forms the east-west baseline and Miami Avenue forms the north-south meridian the corner of Flagler Street and Miami Avenue is in the middle of Downtown in front of the Downtown Macy's (formerly the Burdine's headquarters) the Miami grid is primarily numerical so that for example all street addresses north of Flagler Street and west of Miami Avenue have "NW" in their address Because its point of origin is in Downtown which is close to the coast the "NW" and "SW" quadrants are much larger than the "SE" and "NE" quadrants Many roads especially major ones are also named (e.g Tamiami Trail/SW 8th St) although with exceptions the number is in more common usage among locals. . .
