Two projects to improve the quality, quantity and distribution of water in the Everglades National Park in Florida—the construction of a reservoir and the raising of a portion of the Tamiami Trail—moved forward in June.
As the 17th year of the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) opens, both challenges and progress are evident in the restoration of the ecosystem of South Florida’s fabled River of Grass.
Hopes are high that a July 18 hearing in U.S. District Court in Miami will ratify the Florida Dept. of Environmental Protection's permit and associated projects to improve water quality in the Everglades.
