The Everglades stretches from central Florida to the base of the state in Florida Bay. Now less than half of this historic ecosystem remains due to human activities choking off the water flow to the wetlands. Florida Bay – an iconic fishing paradise – is now starving for freshwater. A straightforward solution exists but funding is necessary.
Let's rally our voices and make them heard across our nation's capital! Let's fight for America's Everglades, let's push for federal funding of the EAA Reservoir and let's show that it truly is #NOWORNEVERGLADES!
