!"##$%&• Everglades Restoration is essential for protecting South
Florida’s water supply, freshwater and coastal ecosystems, and economy.
• Everglades science is at the core, helping us to:- document and understand changes in ecosystem health- elucidate ecosystem thresholds- determine management options- refine restoration planning efforts- maximize return on investment
