everglades restoration  

Définition

  • Over the past century, much of the Florida Everglades has been transformed from a principally subtropical wetland to a human-dominated system of agriculture and urban development. The present Everglades system is half its predisturbance size, the underlying water table is lower, the cyclical hydro-periods are altered, and the vital freshwater sheet flow is diverted to the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico (see satellite images A and B).
