Come hear Steven Davis present “State of The Everglades: 2015-2017 (It’s been a rough few years).” His presentation will provide an overview of recent conditions across the Everglades stemming from drought, flood, and hurricane impacts and resulting in regulatory discharges, excessive high-water conditions, hyper-salinity, seagrass die-off, and algal blooms. Davis will also cover key restoration efforts needed to remedy these water management challenges.
Davis, a native of Ohio, earned a PhD from Florida International University in 1999 with research in Florida Bay and the coastal Everglades. In his role as the Everglades Foundation’s Wetland Ecologist, Davis draws upon his 20+ years of Everglades research experience and 10 years of experience as professor of wetland ecology at Texas A&M University. Among his Foundation duties, Davis leads science efforts focused on Everglades restoration planning, ecological forecasting of restoration scenarios, and impacts of sea-level rise.
