Isn’t Florida plagued by alligators? A Venice-like canal city and alligators make for an interesting mix.

  Alligators are mostly just fresh water. They can sort of survive brackish / a bit of salt but they're not as versatile as crocs.

    Unfortunately that opens the door for invasive saltwater crocodiles. While alligators are mostly super chill crocs are total dick bags.

      Yeah. If I remember right there were a couple reports of crocs in South Florida over the years, though certainly no major issue

      But then sea level rise will fix the issue. If cities are sticking out like islands then it doesn't leave much habitat for crocs.

        But then you have a problem with sharks.
        • flukus 10y ago
          That's a fishing trip, not a problem ;)
        • Avshalom 10y ago
          Flukus is right: sharks are nice for sport fishing, relatively inconsequential for tourism.

  New Orleans has the occasional alligator in the bayous as well.
