Flora and fauna
Prior to the creation of the park, the area was the site of the discovery of the Remipedia class of crustaceans, in the late 1970s.[2] The park is also an Important Bird Area, providing habitat for the thick-billed vireo, Bahama swallow and the olive-capped warbler, among others.[2][3][4]

gollark: All the people in the original universe continue to exist, in universe B.
gollark: If you instantaneously destroy universe A somehow after operating the drive, then everyone will always be in the "good" universe B where its users don't cease to exist suddenly.
gollark: So the drive can be seen as splitting the universe into two. One of the resulting universes ("A") has the drive's users removed. One of them ("B") has the drive's users in a different place.
