    Yes it is a huge area. But c'mon only 330 or something are recorded as having been removed from the whole area last year. Yes it is a huge area, no it isn't easy.
    But their efforts seem to be lacking just based on the data from the past couple years.
    There is definitely not a "Lack of effort". Put it this way, do you have a pond near you, with lilly pads on it?

    The everglades is the pond, and the lilly pads, are giant acre long pieces of floating grass and vegetation. The amount of animals that live under one piece is astonishing. Not to mention, the gators are a big enough hassle to deal with for the guys who go and get the pythons. I've got some pictures to help describe it:























    Oh, and then you have to worry about these guys.....



    And this is the easy to trek through stuff. For the other parts of the glades, you need an airboat, no question about it.

    Hope that helps describe the scope of things a bit.
