Study Says Everglades Plan May Not Make Florida Bay Water Clear
A National Academy of Sciences report says the planned $7.8-billion restoration of the Everglades may not return Florida Bay to the "gin clear" character it had 30 or 40 years ago.
The report produced by a committee of NAS's National Research Council and released Aug. 8, says that there is enough evidence that the restoration plan will affect the bay "in ways...that may be perceived as undesirable," that targeted further study is needed.
