Department of the Interior Secretary Ken Salazar is working to get Florida’s Everglades put back on a United Nations list of endangered sites. It would reverse the controversial move of the Bush administration, which sought to have it removed. Hopefully Obama remembers Salazar’s hard work on Secretary’s Day. Re-adding the Everglades would mean that the U.S. would have two sites if Glacier National Park is also added. Too bad adding it to the list doesn’t actually fix anything. A billion-dollar Everglades restoration project launched back in 2000 has already fallen years behind.

Two adults in Florida were arrested after wildlife conservation officers caught them with several fish below the size limit. They didn’t have any ID but helpfully provided the wardens with their false names, which the minor with them corrected. Turns out both had outstanding warrants (one for failure to pay child support) and the two were booked on all their old charges plus over-the-bag limit and catching undersized fish. Come on man, you have to get the kids on board if you’re lying. What are you teaching your kids down there?
