Up to that page, the document gives details the effect that the SGGE has had on the salinity, water tables, wild fires, and fresh water shock to the 10,000 Islands Preserve to the south.
Knowing first hand about the effects of drought in Florida (well went dry), it is hard to turn ones nose up at a million plus dollars.

Maybe if Collier county stopped giving the nod to every single golf course community developer that want to set up shop here we wouldn't have these environmental problems. I don't think 160 acres of undeveloped land are going to make a huge difference.. or most of Golden Gate Estates, for that matter.

I don't think 160 acres of undeveloped land are going to make a huge difference.. or most of Golden Gate Estates, for that matter.

If you would refer to the document cited, it states that Southern Golden Gates Estates IS the problem. While I hear you regarding "Luxury Living on the Golf Course", the restoration of the Everglades is quite important. It effects more than the immediate area, it has implications throughout the state.

The state has done a great job mucking up the Everglades, any attempt to fix it should be welcome.
