The Greater Everglades: A Living Laboratory of Change
Reddy KR and Best GR (ed). 2010. The Greater Everglades: A Living Laboratory of Change. Naples, Florida. July 12-16, 2010. University of Florida; U.S. Geological Survey. Gainesville, Florida. Greater Everglades Ecosystem Restoration Conference
The theme for the Greater Everglades Ecosystem Restoration (GEER) 2010 Conference is "The Greater Everglades: A Living Laboratory of Change”. That change comes in many forms . . . Degradation Change, Restoration Change, Human Influence Change, Threatened and Endangered Species Change, Invasive Species Change, Nutrients-Contaminants Change, Climate Change, Change in Sea Level Rise and Natural Hazard Change. All of these “Changes” are actively impacting the Greater Everglades. It is imperative we understand change so we can predict change (Science), that we integrate the ‘Science of change’ into Planning for the future; and, that we use Science and Planning to help us move forward with effective Policy for a sustainable future. GEER 2010 provides a valuable forum for restoration practitioners to do just that, and gives private, public and tribal decision makers, engineers, planners, resource managers, and scientists, an opportunity to share their knowledge and challenges concerning restoration of this national treasure – the Greater Everglades. We encourage you to participate in this important endeavor and be part of the dialogue.
