This grant supports critical research into the ecological changes within Shark River Slough, encompassing both its eastern and western regions. The understanding gained is vital for establishing effective restoration goals and objectives, and for informing Everglades National Park’s (ENP) strategies for managing its natural resources. Specifically, this funding is designated to monitor the potential ecological impacts stemming from the implementation of the Modified Water Deliveries Project and other ongoing restoration initiatives. The study will focus on assessing changes in flocculent material, periphyton, soil composition, and plant tissue communities specifically within Western Shark River Slough. This research is crucial for ensuring sustainable management and restoration of this vital ecosystem.
