A Decade of Leadership in Everglades Advocacy
Since taking on the role of Everglades Foundation’s CEO in 2012, Eric Eikenberg has been South Florida’s leading voice on expediting restoration efforts and bringing extensive public awareness for the Everglades.
During Mr. Eikenberg’s tenure as CEO, The Everglades Foundation has provided scientific, technical, and policy support to numerous decision-makers in expediting Everglades restoration and engaging partners in the corporate, philanthropic, and political arenas.
He led an intense public awareness campaign that ultimately led to the passage of state and federal legislation authorizing the construction of a $1.7 billion Everglades Agricultural Area (EAA) Reservoir south of Lake Okeechobee.
