Examination of the Modified Water Deliveries Project, the C-111 Project, and the Experimental Water Deliveries Project: Hydrologic Analyses and Effects on Endangered Species

摘要

The Everglades National Park has as one of its primary management objectives the preservation and restoration of sustainable Everglades ecosystems (Everglades National Park, 1993). The South Florida Natural Resources Center (SFNRC) at Everglades National Park is charged with reviewing and assessing appropriate information on the status and trends of the natural resources on Park Service lands to determine if progress towards this objective isorts to bring about ecosystem restoration. This report provides information about the Program of Experimental Water Deliveries to Everglades National Park, the Modied Water Deliveries, and the C-111 Project relevant to National Park Service objectives for hydrologic and ecologic restoration of Everglades National Park. In addition, the report represents the National Park Service to provide some technical assistance as part of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's reconsultation pursuant to Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act (16 U.S.C. 1536).
