... Within the social, economic, and political latticework of the 21st century, restoration of the South Florida ecosystem is now under way and represents one of the most ambitious ecosystem renewal projects ever conceived. This report represents the fifth independent assessment of the CERP's progress by the Committee on Independent Scientific Review of Everglades Restoration Progress (CISRERP)

... The boundaries of the South Florida ecosystem are determined by the boundaries of the South Florida Water Management District, the southernmost of the state's five water management districts, although they approximately delineate the boundaries of the South Florida watershed. This designation is important and helpful to the restoration effort because, as many publications have made clear, taking a water­ shed approach to ecosystem restoration is likely to improve the results, especially when the ecosystem under consideration is as water dependent as the Everglades (NRC, 1999, 2004)

... A discussion and evaluation of specific scientific and engineering issues that may impact progress in achieving the natural system restoration goals of the plan; and 4. An independent review of monitoring and assessment protocols to be used for evaluation of CERP progress (e.g., CERP performance measures, annual assessment reports, assessment strategies, etc.)

... In Chapter 5, the committee discusses the implications of climate change for Everglades restoration and recommends planning and research needs to address this issue. In Chapter 6, the committee examines the impacts of nonnative invasive species on Everglades restoration, discusses current mechanisms to coordinate monitoring and control efforts, and recommends additional steps to improve invasive species control strategies.
