“With this project, Biscayne Bay and Biscayne National Park will see major benefits as habitats formerly flooded with saltwater are rapidly transitioning back to a freshwater system. This project demonstrates that with persistence, participation, focus and funding we can restore the Everglades ecosystem.

“Thank you to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and South Florida Water Management District, in coordination with our state’s leadership, for continuing this momentous progress on Everglades restoration.”
