Introduction

The region of the Everglades can be found in the southern tip of Florida where the area is generally a subtropical marshland and is the lower half of a great watershed that roots from the river system of the Kissimmee River . About half of the original Everglades are already lost to agriculture while most of the remaining parts are currently watched

over through the establishment of a national park , water preservation regions , as well as national wildlife refuge

Once a lively and free-flowing grassy region that supplied clean water from the region of Lake Okeechobee to the area of Florida Bay , the Florida Everglades has now become a weakening ecosystem on the verge of dying . With a significant number of species of flora and fauna greatly affected by the deteriorating status of the Everglades , the region 's decline is increasing in proportions in the past few years

In to counter these unwanted circumstances , the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP ) was created . Specifically designed in to bring back the glory of the region and the abundant ecosystem it once had , CERP brings awareness to the general population and educates the people about the looming environmental crisis that beset the Everglades

Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP

The essential function of the CERP is to bring back the ecosystem situated in the region of south Florida specifically the Everglades region that attempts to direct every feature and portion of the CERP 's development as well as its suggested implementation . The CERP can be taken as a framework and scheme in the goal to re-establish , protect and maintain the aquatic resources of the larger Everglades natural environment and ecosystem . It has been noted as the world 's biggest attempt to reinstate a dwindling ecosystem and the complex natural courses of the water system as well as the quality of the water . It also aims at increasing the hydro-periods that are left in the Everglades region . The CERP is specifically designed to bring about a south Florida that is not sustainable but also one which has a restored ecosystem dependable supply of water and a region that is protected from flooding

Forwarded to the Congress in April 1999 and put into authority in December 2000 , the CERP was widely supported by an overwhelming bipartisan backing thus resulting to the direct enforcing of the Plan An open and two-way partnership that is comprised of a number of members from various backgrounds , inclinations as well as agency tasks defines the development process of the CERP . This characteristic of the Plan reinforced by the interagency as well as interdisciplinary schemes heightens its flexible quality which extends and continues during the implementation of the Plan in to give way to continued conversations among the participants and refine the improvements to the CERP

One of these agencies involved in the implementation of the...
