American alligators (Alligator mississippiensis) are responsive to hydrologic conditions at all stages of their life history, making them well established indicators of ecosystem restoration within the Everglades. The distribution and success of alligator nesting is monitored annually within Everglades National Park by systematic reconnaissance flight (SRF) helicopter surveys. This dataset represents a subset of the long-term monitoring program data, consisting of data for nests observed between 2008 - 2023, which was used to investigate the relationships between nest-level hydrology and multiple causes of nest failure.
