The report finds that the plan is well grounded in scientific theory and principals of adaptive management. However, steps should be taken to ensure that information from those monitoring the ecology of the Everglades is readily available to those implementing the overall restoration effort. Also, the plan needs to place greater consideration on how population growth and land-use changes will affect the restoration effort and vice versa. %0 Book %A National Research Council %T Science and the Greater Everglades Ecosystem Restoration: An Assessment of the Critical Ecosystem Studies Initiative %@ 978-0-309-08728-5 %D 2003 %U https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/10589/science-and-the-greater-everglades-ecosystem-restoration-an-assessment-of %> https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/10589/science-and-the-greater-everglades-ecosystem-restoration-an-assessment-of %I The National Academies Press %C Washington, DC %G English %K Environment and Environmental Studies %P 168 %X The report reviews a U.S. Department of the Interior research program, finding that it provides key information to support the restoration of the Florida Everglades and to better assess the impact of hydrologic change on the ecosystem. However, the program needs more funding, better management and broader distribution of its findings. The report suggests that strategic investments in Everglades research will increase the chances of reaching restoration goals while reducing overall costs.
