Warren 28 34 38 about the Cover As we continue with this Bar year’s theme of highlighting great national parks around the country, in this issue we are proud to highlight a national park in Florida — the Everglades National Park. The photo on this issue’s cover was taken by HCBA member Anthony Cuva of Bajo | Cuva | Cohen | Turkel P.A. on a trip in December 2014. As an admiralty and maritime law attorney and a water sports lover and enthusiast, it is very appropriate that Cuva has provided us this unique perspective of the national park. The Everglades National park encompasses 1.5 million acres of tropical and subtropical habitat in South Florida with one of the world’s most diverse ecosystems. For this very reason, Congress established the Everglades as a National Park in 1934. The park has since been designated as an International Biosphere Reserve, a Wetland of International Importance and a World Heritage Site. M AY - J U N E 2 0 1 8 | HCBA LAWYER 1
