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.

The park is less than 20% of the Everglades. There is plenty of public
access left.
That is not what the guys are saying around here. The amount of
unrestricted public land is rapidly approaching zero (the government
owns or controls more than just that one park).
There is certainly some privately owned land in the swamp that hasn't
been drained for sugar but it is not "public access". Even those
people are getting government pressure. ~10 years ago was the last
time I was on an airboat and even then they were complaining about how
few place we could go.

EGNP is owned by the US government. The rest is owned by the state
except for some that is owned/controlled by the Native Americans.
