Eden Icon The Everglades Depth Estimation Network (EDEN) (external link)
Eden is an integrated network of real-time water-level monitoring, ground-elevation modeling, and water-surface modeling that provides scientists and managers with current (1999-present), on-line water-depth information for the entire freshwater portion of the Greater Everglades. The target users are biologists and ecologists examining trophic level responses to hydrodynamic changes in the Everglades.

Science

Given the complexities associated with environmental restoration, the keys to success are sound scientific practices.

Scientific Links:

ATLSS
A scientific modeling tool that assists with predicting the complex biological responses to changes made to the water regime.

The Committee on Restoration of the Greater Everglades Ecosystem (CROGEE) was developed by the National Academy of Sciences and is designed to provide scientific guidance to multiple agencies to assist with the restoration of the greater Everglades.

Recent Publications by CROGEE/NRC:

Everglades/Florida Bay Watershed Management Website
Provides decision makers and water managers with objective, high quality advice on scientific and engineering issues pertaining to understanding, preserving and restoring the fauna and flora of the Everglades/Florida Bay ecosystem.

RECOVER
RECOVER (REstoration COordination & VERification) is an arm of the Comprehensive Plan (CERP) responsible for linking science and the tools of science to a set of system-wide planning, evaluation and assessment tasks

South Florida Information Access (SOFIA)
South Florida Information Access (SOFIA) is an interdisciplinary service that provides coherent information access in support of research, decision making, and resource management for the South Florida ecosystem restoration effort. SOFIA offers a suite of information systems and tools enabling the selection, organization, documentation, dissemination and storage of data and other information products.

SFWMD Simulation Modeling
Models help scientists and planners measure the possible effects of a variety of impacts on various complex systems.
