In 2016 and 2018, we made a pledge to jumpstart Everglades restoration, protect our coast from harmful discharges and leave Florida to God better than we found it. Together, we have more than quadrupled the funding for Everglades restoration and water quality. We've completed a record number of projects, tripled the water storage capacity throughout the Glades and advanced the completion of the EAA Reservoir by five years. Now, as that Seminole wind blows from the Okeechobee all the way up to Micanopy, water flows south to Florida Bay where sanity levels are the healthiest in decades and coastal communities are protected against the discharging of polluted water into the surrounding estuaries.
