Today on The Environment Report Saving the snail kite. Rebecca Williams visited the Florida Everglades to find out what scientists are doing to try to keep snail kites from dying out... and why the scientists need to watch their backs when they work. And... the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Lester talks with a team of researchers out on a boat in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. They're studying a swirling vortex of trash that has accumulated out in the water.
