The UDB is basically the edge of the Florida Everglades; however, it is some ways out from the actual Everglades National Park boundary that will likely never be breached. The urbanization of South Florida has led to the pollution and interference of the Everglades for the last few decades but there has always been a strong push to protect the "world famous wilderness and marine ecosystem."
