Our Impacts
More than 8 million South Floridians rely on the Florida Everglades for their drinking water, and the ability to have a thriving economy hinges on an abundant supply of freshwater. We must protect the Florida Everglades. For more than 30 years, FIU researchers have collaborated on and led the science behind Everglades restoration — one of the largest environmental projects on the planet.
