For several months the people and animals of Florida have been in a state of confusion. Due to a series of catastrophic events, they have gone through a trama that could affect the environment for years to come. Hurricane Flora hit the Gulf Coast of Florida, destoying buildings, scattering animals to unfamiliar habitats, and depositing seeds from exotic plants throughout the area of south Florida. To add to this confusion, a massive “cloud of black water” has combined with patches of red tide off the coastal areas, which is threatening sea life and causing many species to seek new habitats. Coastal creatures have moved inland leading to an imbalance of wildlife and an interruption into the normal food chains. People are struggling to rebuild and have given little thought to what has happened in the environment. If the people and animals of Florida are to survive, it is up to you to solve many problems. A busy hurricane season is predicted and it is important that you quickly help solve these problems. Are you up to the challenge?

Why is a balance of nature so important to the environment? How can people help to guard that balance?
