We’ve made progress restoring the Everglades, but the job isn’t done. 🌿 Science shows that buying more land in the Everglades Agricultural Area is critical to store and clean water and restore natural flow south.

A healthy Everglades powers a healthy economy. 🌿 Clean water flowing south supports fishing, tourism, coastal businesses, and communities across Florida. 🌾 When toxic discharges harm our waters, we all feel the impact. Help secure our future and protect the River of Grass. 🐊 Comment RESCUE to get more episodes sent to your DMs. Video by Leah Voss 📷 #everglades #florida #riverofgrass #cleanwater

This month, a number of South Florida municipalities have announced water restrictions due to a prolonged drought. Residents are being asked to limit water use as water levels in our aquifers and water conservation areas drop to concerning levels. As Chief Science Officer Dr. Steve Davis explains, Everglades restoration is designed to address exactly this challenge, by building reservoirs, like the EAA Reservoir, that allow us to capture water during the wet season and hold it for times like these, when the rains don’t come.

💧 What Is CERP — And Why Should Florida Bay Care? On Tuesday we introduced a big acronym: CERP It stands for Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan. Here’s what that actually means: CERP is a long-term plan to move freshwater south — the way it flowed naturally before canals and development redirected it. Why does that matter? Because when water doesn’t flow properly: • Salinity in Florida Bay spikes • Seagrass suffers • Fish nurseries decline • Mangroves experience stress CERP projects store, clean, and redirect water so more of it reaches the southern Everglades — and eventually Florida Bay. 🌊This isn’t just an Everglades issue. It’s a Florida Bay resilience issue. Restoration requires long-term commitment and funding — and community understanding is part of that success. We’ll break down the next acronym soon. Follow Florida Bay Forever to understand how restoration upstream protects the Bay we love. 🌿💙 Drop a 💧 if you think water flow matters.

While Big Sugar hoards fresh water for itself, the Everglades are dying of thirst. 💧 For decades, human water management has robbed the Everglades of the freshwater it needs to survive. Water that should flow south is diverted, leaving fragile ecosystems struggling and communities at risk. Michael Williams explains how this water scarcity destroys habitat for the endangered Florida Panther and the Snail Kite, harms Florida Bay, and leaves our drinking water vulnerable to saltwater intrusion and sea level rise. We know what is needed to fix the problem. Act now to Rescue the River of Grass. Video by Leah Voss #everglades #florida #watercrisis #riverofgrass #cleanwater

The Florida Legislative session ends March 13th and its crucial Everglades restoration gets fully funded. Contact your Florida House representatives and let them know they need to support our wild spaces!

🌿 Did you know the Everglades has only two seasons — wet and dry? From May to October, heavy rains replenish the wetlands. From November to April, lower water levels help restore balance. This natural rhythm sustains wildlife, protects fragile habitats, and helps recharge the clean drinking water supply for millions in South Florida. But this delicate cycle depends on healthy, protected waters. Through The Everglades Clean Drinking Water Initiative powered by Save the Water™, we’re researching and advocating for solutions that safeguard this irreplaceable ecosystem for future generations. 💧 Together, we can protect the balance that protects us. 👉 Learn more, share this reel, and consider becoming a monthly donor to make a lasting impact. #SaveTheWater #Everglades #EvergladesCleanDrinkingWaterInitiative #CleanWaterForAll #EndTheWaterCrisis

The Everglades isn’t a swamp — it’s a river that protects our drinking water. 🌿💧 #Everglades #WaterWarriors #CleanWater #savetheeverglades #ProtectOurWater

Restoration or a rock mine? 🌿 Big Sugar wants to blast thousands of acres in the Everglades Agricultural Area for a limestone quarry. This land should restore clean water flow south, not become industrial mining. In the final episode of The Everglades Story, we explore what’s at stake and why the future of the Everglades depends on what we choose next.

What would happen if the Everglades disappeared? 💧 Local economies rely on a healthy Everglades and so do the people who call Florida home. Tourism, fishing, agriculture, and recreation all depend on clean water and thriving ecosystems. When water quality declines, jobs are lost, businesses struggle, and economic stability weakens. The cost doesn’t stop there. Communities face higher water treatment expenses, disaster recovery costs, and lost livelihoods. Protecting the Everglades isn’t just about nature, it’s about protecting our future. Through The Everglades Clean Drinking Water Initiative powered by Save the Water™, we work to safeguard water quality, strengthen ecosystems, and support resilient communities. 🌿 Join us in protecting the Everglades.

🇺🇸 The completion of the Picayune Strand Restoration Project brought together leaders from Washington, D.C. and the State of Florida, as well as partners and stakeholders to celebrate the importance of this major Everglades restoration project! ✨ This project stands as a powerful example of what can be achieved when science, leadership and collaboration align for the greater good. 🤝 Through a strong federal-state partnership, this restoration effort improves water quality, protects wildlife habitat and maintains flood protection for nearby communities in Southwest Florida. #Everglades #Florida #Restoration #Science

It was Everglades Action Day here in Tallahassee! Staff arrived from South Florida to meet with fellow Auduboners in the capitol, as well as project partners, legislators, their teams, and students, to advocate for funding for Everglades restoration.
