The Sierra Club sounds like a group you would fit into quite nicely. I hear they are looking for people to sit in trees in California.

Thanks for the advise. I will give it the consideration it deserves. If you want to speak to the issue, read the link, and then lets debate it.

FWIW, I would not consider the SFWMD and the USACE an "Environmental Group"

Junk Science proves nothing. I live in an area that can be adversely affected by CERP. I have been involved and researching this for many years, and your one link is just a very small pitence of the Debate you wish to engage in.

If you have sat through as many meetings with the ARMY Corp of Engineers, and the SWFMD as I have your opinions may be different.

Although they are governmental agencies one State and one Federal, NGO's tend to run the meetings with there green agenda's.

Both of these agencies openly admit that the current plans for restoration could have negative impact on residential areas North of I-75 (alligator alley), and Bob Graham the Demorat who is still trying to push through Alternative D-6 will indeed force hundreds from their homes in the 8.5 square mile area in Dade County.

Not to mention the areas that will increase fresh water flows into the estuaries due to restoration will cause harmful bacteria to flow into the tidal waters in the 10,000 Islands. p> I am not opposed to some restoration just not what the current plan is.

The increased water will kill endangered species of land snails, and an abundant amount of other wild life. Please do a search of Glades Guru, (has lived in the everglades for decades) you may find some research he has done that might change your mind.

Also while your at it take a look at the Wildlands Project, and the United Nations Agenda 21. Smart Growth is wonderfull also if you prefer PUD's. I choose not to live in a Socialistic Gated Community. Where a veteran in Naples was told to remove his US Marine flag from his home.

It all is a matter of personal perspective, Some believe in the constitution of the United States, Freedom, and Property Rights, and other believe in the Green Agenda.
