The sight of marina employees in hazmat gear further brought home the real emergency facing Florida’s Everglades—one that resonates on the national and world stage. In 2016, The Everglades Foundation made encouraging strides in its efforts to protect the Everglades through solid science, tireless work in Tallahassee, and robust grass-roots advocacy and education. Our As our unflagging commitment to scientific rigor has demonstrated time and again, the solutions that we have deepest thanks to each and every one of you who have joined and supported us in this essential work. identified, studied, and advocated for since our founding in 1993 are critical to the survival of the Everglades.

But there is no doubt that when that tide at last turns, it will be in large legislative victories over the past year that are cause for cautious optimism. Making sure that these victories part due to the synergistic, sustained, and science-backed efforts of The Everglades Foundation—and the are implemented—and that the Everglades is not only saved from the precipice of extinction, but preserved and generosity of those who understand the extraordinary importance of a healthy Everglades and share our protected in perpetuity—continues to be our mission going forward. dedication to making it a reality.

The EAA (Everglades Agricultural Area) reservoir project, comprising a deep above-ground reservoir that stores at least 270,000 acre-feet of water and a stormwater treatment area outfitted to meet state water quality standards, is one of the plan’s most critical storage projects.
