Research in this area began in December 1973. Initial efforts were directed toward familiarization with the known aspects of the ecology of Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, the Big Cypress area, and south Florida. This involved contacting many agencies and individuals working in the area, reviewing the literature, and thoroughly surveying the sanctuary from both land and air. This permitted establishment of research priorities, which in turn determined the selection of sampling sites, equipment, and facilities. Although this aspect of the study is never-ending, in March 1974, the focus of our efforts shifted to providing year-round access to the selected sampling sites.
