EVERGLADES CITY OUTLAWS

Описание: July 7, 1983: 'Operation Everglades‘ A major drug raid shakes Everglades City.

In a dramatic pre-dawn operation, 28 individuals were taken into custody, and over half of the town's fishing vessels were confiscated. The action involved around 200 federal drug enforcement agents working alongside Collier County sheriff's deputies.

For many years prior, smugglers had exploited the intricate network of waterways and mangrove islands along Collier County's southern coastline — a region that was extremely difficult to patrol — to transport rum, cigarettes, sugar, and even people.

Everglades City, a modest community of roughly 500 residents in southern Collier County, had long relied on traditional livelihoods like harvesting pompano, mullet, and stone crabs, along with frog gigging in the surrounding Everglades.
