One important resource is natural spring water. There are underwater springs all across central Florida. Another resource, although dwindling, is forestry. Pines, cypress and oak are abundant. The Everglades is a great resource for wildlife;from alligators to cougars to deer and all kinds of beautiful birds. Lake Okeechobee feeds irrigation for the sugar cane crops and orange groves.

the biggest one is Everglades National park. Their other natural resources would include the ocean and their products and various sea life and wild life. Also produce such as oranges is very big in Florida. Animals such as alligators are also part of their natural resource. Some consider the sun one of the main attractive natural resource of Florida.

Florida has a fairly extensive array of natural resources, but relatively low quantities of mineral and metal deposits. Major resources include phosphates, water, and citrus fruit. Florida's aquifers are the main water sources for homes in Florida and its surroundings (Georgia and the Carolinas). It also has the second largest citrus industry in the US, surpassed only by California.

From the Gulf of Mexico we get seafood, and oil. From South Florida we get most of our citrus fruit, like lemons, limes, and oranges. From Marion County, Sumter County, and Dale County. We get most our limestone. Some other things are petroleum, forests, and wetlands.

Caramel. Florida is known for their caramel because thats where caramel first originated. Then Florida shipped it all over the place and that's how we have it.

I have to disagree with you on that one, caramel is not a natural resource, it is a sweet candy that we make, it is not in any way, shape, or form, naturally found.  add a comment

Florida has 40% of the world's orange juice, strawberries, seafood, phosphate, tropical plants, paper, sugarcane, spring water, dairy products, Gatorade, lemons, limes and oranges.

Yet again, I am going to disagree because Gatorade is something man-made not naturally found.  add a comment
