The Everglades is internationally known for its extraordinary wildlife--from Florida panthers, to crocodiles, manatees, and a huge host of birds such as roseate spoonbills, egrets, and wood storks. Plants: The diversity of Everglades' habitats means there's also a great diversity of plants.hen an ecosystem is out of balance and native plants and animals are struggling, species from other parts of the world can take advantage of the changed conditions to establish themselves. Some introduce species become a small part of the landscape, while others thrive at the expense of native plants and wildlife.
To test thick chops for doneness, touch them (they should be firm) or take their temperature (145Â° to 150Â°F). For thick pork chops (1-1/4 to 1-1/2 inches), I start with direct heat and finish with indirect heat. I set up one side of the grill the same way as for medium-thick chops, with varying levels of heat.The other half of the grill has no coals. For gas grills, keep one burner off.or medium-thick pork chops (3/4 to 1 inch), I cook with direct heat. I sear both sides of the chops briefly over high heat to get a nice crust and then move them to an area of less intense heat, cover the grill, and let them cook through.
Step 3. Place the pork chops on the hot grill pan and cook for about 8 to 10 minutes on each side, until the pork has slightly charred grill marks and has reached an internal temperature of at least 145 F. Use tongs to lift the pork chops and grill the sides as well.
