Everglades restoration efforts progress in Picayune Strand State Forest

Land developers in the 1960s built a grid of roads and dug miles of canals to make way for houses that would never be built. The efforts in Picayune, part of the larger Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan, will restore the Everglades back into the “river of grass.” The project includes removing roads and logging trams, plugging the canals and operating the pump stations all designed to restore water flows close to what they were before development. Normally, the work in Picayune was done one project after the other. But during a Big Cypress Basin Board meeting in 2019, newly appointed chairwoman Charlette Roman asked the Corps to think differently.

Southwest Florida sea turtle nests wash away after Tropical Storm Elsa

There is an overlap between Florida’s hurricane season and sea turtle nesting season, but the turtles lay nests in large areas, making up for losses that can occur during a storm. In Lee County, the Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation discovered 45 sea turtle nests had completely washed away after Elsa, Coastal Wildlife Director Kelly Sloan said. The group identified about 125 nests that had missing stakes, but using a highly accurate GPS device, called a Trimble, they pared the number down to 85 nests. A team then had to dig into those nests, and found 40 still had the eggs and the remaining 45 were washed away.
