#saveeverglades

Two Beautiful American Alligators up Close, showing me their teeth! Many you have asked me how I became a wildlife photographer! Here's the quick answer. I was raised by two brilliant parents who always told me to follow my dreams, find something you really love so you won't mind working relentlessly at it! I'm a wildlife addict, that focuses on sharks! Although I love all animals! My addiction is unstoppable! Sadly, I've learned about how are species is killing our wildlife needlessly! We're headed for the 6th extinction, this one caused by man! All I do, is everything within my power to try to save what few animals we still have! Thank you Immensely for following me and sharing my content as we alter the course of our planet into a sustainable direction! Together we can make a huge difference! @jim_abernethy #alligator #saveeverglades #saveplanet #photography #palmbeachflorida #Bethechangetheworldneeds (at Dupuis Management Area)

The Red Wing Black bird only displays all of her red feathers while in flight, in this case in the Everglades! Our everglades and its animals are in great need of human help to correct the many problems we have caused! @jim_abernethy #saveeverglades (at Jim Abernethy's Scuba Adventures & Marine Life Art Gallery)

Roseate Spoonbill taking off after feeding. One of Floridas most colorful birds! The beautiful birds were very common in the south east until 1860's when they were nearly eliminated by plume collectors, mostly for hats. Lets all work hard to save the everglades and it's amazing creatures! @jim_abernethy #birds #conservationist #instagrambirds #birdsinflight #ilovebirds #photography #palmbeach #roseatespoonbill #artnature #birdart #birder #floridanature #florida #palmbeachnature #pinkfeathers #palmbeachflorida #pink #saveeverglades #saveprotectedanimals #conservation #jimabernethysscubaadventures

Image by @jim_abernethy // Beautiful Sunrise over the Everglades here in Palm Beach County, Florida! Our amazing Everglades here in Florida, is suffering all due to many human related causes. Changing the flow of this watershed, herbicides, pesticides, invasive species, needless hunting for trophies and habitat reduction to name a few of the problems. We all need to emphasize to our politicians how important nature is to all of us, while we still have some nature left. @jim_abernethy @wildlifevoiceinc @sealegacy #TurningTheTide #saveeverglades #beautiful #nature #sunrise #reflection #everglades #highdynamicrange #conservation #palmbeachnature #watershed #habitatloss #savenature #saveprotectedanimals #evergladessunrise #palmbeachflorida #jimabernethysscubaadventures (at Everglades) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2MRGpPgEiU/?igshid=3grshlztou

Video by @jim_abernethy// CALL TO ACTION We need your help to shut down the Government sanctioned poisoning of our Aquifers...OUR DRINKING WATER! In 2017 the percentage of Glyphosate in Florida was increased by 250% in combination with 25% increase in gallons used, to nearly 1 million gallons. This increase combined with the 4 decades of phosphorus and nitrogen loading in the bottom of the lakes in the form of decomposed plants, essentially mud, from herbicide aquatic plant management, I believe was the cause of the Red Tide/blue green algae environmental disaster causing biblical proportions of wildlife death, coastal economy collapse and continued poisoning of human health. Glyphosate is an antibiotic and 4 decades of drinking it in our drinking water is causing exponential growth in diseases including cancer, autism, Parkinson's, and celiacs just to name a few! Please follow the link in my bio to help, as well as show up at the FWC meeting this February 21 at 8.30 AM, to help end this archaic method of aquatic plant management! I'll see you there! Please repost and share this post and sign the petition. You can also write to FWC about this using this email address [email protected] Beautiful Alligator in Lake Okeechobee recently! Today the man made changes to our everglades keeps killing many many different animals! We must take much better care of nature, while we still can! We must stop damaging the everglades, our wildlife and ourselves! @jim_abernethy @sea_legacy @wildlifevoiceinc #TurningTheTide #alligator #saveeverglades #saveprotectedanimals #SaveFlorida #bluegreenalgae #endglyphosate #toxic18 #RedTide #toxic https://www.instagram.com/p/BttVTw1n_P_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=6uq41uk7h8ys

The magnificent vibrantly colored plumage was the reason this species was devastated starting in the 1830's for the plume-hunting era.

Great Blue Herons nest building in preparation for offspring in the Everglades! The everglades once was the water shed of Florida, home to a diversity and abundance of animals found no where else on the planet! Today we have diverted the watershed east and west, used pestasides and hunted the majority of creatures from this beautiful area! We must leave the wild areas WILD, if we wish to protect the animals of our planet! Recently a small team and I discovered another huge source of fuel feeding our Red Tide! Our government-sanctioned poisoning of our aquifers with the cancer causing Glyphosate must be stopped! Mechanical methods are much less harmful!
