This grant is for the purpose of establishing a new five-year cooperative agreement with the US Geological Survey, aimed at advancing the original objectives of the Florida/Caribbean Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). A primary focus is supporting the South Florida Everglades Restoration Initiative, which seeks to restore and maintain the region’s native biological diversity and aid in the recovery of threatened and endangered species. The project will involve scientifically assessing the impacts of various Greater Everglades restoration alternatives on environmental modeling initiatives. Furthermore, it will evaluate the effects of these restoration efforts on rare, threatened, and endangered species, such as sea turtles, by measuring and monitoring ecological integrity. This initiative is crucial for effective protection of the area’s ecological health.
