My goal is to let everyone know of the fantastic natural display of Florida wildlife found within Gatorland's 10 acre Breeding Marsh & Bird Sanctuary, and to create programs that allow everyone to share in the beauty and wonder of a vanishing "wild" Florida. As an amateur photographer, I can understand the frustrations some of you have had with our past access policies, and I hope that our new Photo Pass and "Dawn to Dusk" access will alleviate many of those issues. See you later... alligator! Mike Godwin Gatorland
