In the park itself there are not many places you can use an airboat if
any. The intent is to eliminate it altogether. Air boat tour operators
who used have an exemption are losing them. Most of this is done on
private property.



Is that because airboats are considered a nuisance or destructive?

It is pretty much both but they cite destruction of habitat.
It is all part of limiting motorized vehicles in national parks. They
started in Everglades Park and then expanded that to Big Cypress and
the other smaller tracts most people never heard of. The last I heard
that also expanded to picayune strand a state preserve. In some cases
they just limit engine size but in the case of an air boat that is a
distinction without a difference. There are no 9.9 HP air boats ;-)
