Others later proposed a "three-wave" migration over the Bering Land Bridge These hypotheses remained the long-held view regarding the settlement of the Americas a view challenged by more recent archaeological discoveries: the oldest archaeological sites in the Americas have been found in South America; sites in north-east Siberia report virtually no human presence there during the LGM; and most Clovis artefacts have been found in eastern North America along the Atlantic coast Furthermore colonisation models based on mtDNA yDNA and atDNA data respectively support neither the "blitzkrieg" nor the "three-wave" hypotheses but they also deliver mutually ambiguous results Contradictory data from archaeology and genetics will most likely deliver future hypotheses that will eventually confirm each other a proposed route across the Pacific to South America could explain early South American finds and another hypothesis proposes a northern path through the Canadian Arctic and down the North American Atlantic coast Early settlements across the Atlantic have been suggested by alternative theories ranging from purely hypothetical to mostly disputed including the Solutrean hypothesis and some of the Pre-Columbian trans-oceanic contact theories. . The first edition was published September 15 1903 as the Miami Evening Record After the recession of 1907 the newspaper had severe financial difficulties Its largest creditor was Henry Flagler Through a loan from Henry Flagler Frank B Shutts who was also the founder of the law firm Shutts & Bowen acquired the paper and renamed it the Miami Herald on December 1 1910 Although it is the longest continuously published newspaper in Miami the earliest newspaper in the region was the Tropical Sun established in 1891 the Miami Metropolis which later became the Miami News was founded in 1896 and was the Herald's oldest competitor until 1988 when it went out of business.[citation needed]; . .

. . 2 Cities There are three species of trees that are considered mangroves: red (Rhizophora mangle) black (Avicennia germinans) and white (Laguncularia racemosa) although all are from different families All grow in oxygen-poor soil can survive drastic water level changes and are tolerant of salt brackish and fresh water All three mangrove species are integral to coastline protection during severe storms Red mangroves have the farthest-reaching roots trapping sediments that help build coastlines after and between storms All three types of trees absorb the energy of waves and storm surges Everglades mangroves also serve as nurseries for crustaceans and fish and rookeries for birds the region supports Tortugas pink shrimp (Farfantepenaeus duorarum) and stone crab (Menippe mercenaria) industries; between 80 and 90 percent of commercially harvested crustacean species in Florida's salt waters are born or spend time near the Everglades, In 1999 an evaluation of the C&SF was submitted to Congress as part of the Water Development Act of 1992 the seven-year report called the "Restudy" cited indicators of harm to the ecosystem: a 50 percent reduction in the original Everglades diminished water storage harmful timing of water releases from canals and pumping stations an 85 to 90 percent decrease in wading bird populations over the past 50 years and the decline of output from commercial fisheries Bodies of water including Lake Okeechobee the Caloosahatchee River St Lucie estuary Lake Worth Lagoon Biscayne Bay Florida Bay and the Everglades reflected drastic water level changes hypersalinity and dramatic changes in marine and freshwater ecosystems the Restudy noted the overall decline in water quality over the past 50 years was due to loss of wetlands that act as filters for polluted water it predicted that without intervention the entire South Florida ecosystem would deteriorate Water shortages would become common and some cities would have annual water restrictions, Map showing 5 circles the first is between western Australia and eastern Africa the second is between eastern Australia and western South America the third is between Japan and western North America Of the two in the Atlantic one is in hemisphere. The following is a list of the twenty largest cities in the Miami metropolitan area as ranked by population 7 Notes 1964 56.1% 933,554 41.3% 686,297. Hurricanes pose a severe threat each year during June 1 to November 30 hurricane season particularly from August to October Florida is the most hurricane-prone state with subtropical or tropical water on a lengthy coastline Of the category 4 or higher storms that have struck the United States 83% have either hit Florida or Texas. Cuban American female recording artist Ana Cristina was born in Miami in 1985. The area was affected by the Second Seminole War where Major William S Harney led several raids against the Indians Fort Dallas was located on Fitzpatrick's plantation on the north bank of the river Most of the non-Indian population consisted of soldiers stationed at Fort Dallas the Seminole War was the most devastating Indian war in American history,[citation needed] causing almost a total loss of native population in the Miami area the Cape Florida lighthouse was burned by Seminoles in 1836 and was not repaired until 1846, Geology Hard Rock Stadium home of the Miami Dolphins of the NFL and plays host to the Miami Hurricanes, Florida's Turnpike Physical and social factors of competitive business and social environment.
