Progress Toward Restoring the Everglades - The Tenth Biennial Review 2024: Report Release Webinar

October 4, 2024

12:00 PM - 1:00 PM (ET)

Past

About

The Everglades are a key part of the human and natural systems of South Florida, and the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) has been essential to reversing the decline of the ecosystem. The National Academies' Committee on Independent Scientific Review of Everglades Restoration Progress has provided biennial reviews of restoration progress and advice on scientific and engineering issues that may impact progress since 2004. The upcoming report is the 10th biennial review to be completed.
Join the National Academies' Water Science and Technology Board on October 4, 2024 from 12pm to 1pm ET for a webinar sharing key takeaways from this report. Members of the study committee will highlight recent restoration progress, applications of Indigenous Knowledge in project planning, the role of modeling tools for understanding the effects of climate change on the CERP, and ways to strengthen adaptive management for CERP decision making.
