Orvis watershed restoration news

Over the past 100 years, the flow of fresh water to the Everglades and into Florida Bay has been cut off, leading to an environmental crisis and near collapse of the one most biodiverse ecosystems on the planet. 

Decades of hard-fought advocacy have led to the largest environmental-restoration project in history. Restoring the flow of water south is the key to saving the Everglades and Florida Bay, which supports a $33 billion outdoor economy and provides drinking water for 9 million people.

Take the journey with Simon and Hannah Perkins of Orvis, as they follow the water with guides, scientists, and Everglades advocates. 

Now is the time to ensure the success of one of the defining conservation efforts of our time–for the benefit of future generations. 

Today, the Florida Bay ecosystem receives only a quarter of the freshwater it needs to sustain itself and is on the brink of collapse. Take the journey, follow the water, and learn why restoring the Everglades watershed is the largest environmental restoration project in history and one of the defining conservation efforts of our time. 

Over the last decade, Orvis, Captains for Clean Water, the Everglades Foundation, outdoor enthusiasts, scientists, policy-makers, and many others have come together to champion Everglades restoration and the people and species that rely on it. Take the journey, follow the water, and learn why it is the largest environmental restoration project in history and one of the defining conservation efforts of our time. 

Everglades restoration will support Florida’s $33 billion outdoor economy; restore 3 million acres of carbon-sequestration capacity and protect communities and industries most vulnerable to climate change; provide drinking water for 9 million people; and ensure that future generations can enjoy 2,000 species of plants and animals that rely on the Everglades. Follow the water and learn why the largest environmental restoration project in history is within reach in this decade. 

Over the last decade, a coalition comprising members of industry, anglers and outdoor enthusiasts, scientists, advocacy organizations, and others has come together to champion Everglades restoration and the people and species that rely on it. Federal and state funding for Everglades restoration projects is at an all-time high, progress is being made, and completed restoration is within reach in this decade. Now is the time to ensure the success of one of the defining conservation efforts of our time–for the benefit of future generations.
