Governor Scott and the South Florida Water Management District have a historic opportunity to buy land needed to store water in the Everglades Agricultural Area that expires in October!  The EAA Reservoir, a Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan “CERP” project, would send water south to the Everglades while reducing pollution from Lake Okeechobee to the Caloosahatchee and St. Lucie Rivers. 

WHAT: SOUTH FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT MEETING

WHEN: Thursday, March 12, 2015

TIME: 9:00am

WHERE: SFWMD Headquarters

3301 Gun Club Road

West Palm Beach, FL 33406

Our environment and economy can’t wait!  While the Everglades is starved for water, Caloosahatchee and St. Lucie Rivers are polluted with discharges from Lake Okeechobee that destroy jobs, hurt our economy, lower real estate values and pose a health risks to Florida families.

WE NEED YOU!  Come out to SFWMD Headquarters for a protest outside supporting the purchase of land in the Everglades Agricultural Area. Public comment inside at the Governing Board meeting is also encouraged.
