University of Florida's "Croc Docs", biologist and graduate student, Brandon Welty holds the alligator while the team prepares to collect the data.
After taking the photograph I touched the alligator and was surprised with how incredibly moist and smooth to the touch its skin was. It is no wonder they were almost hunted to extinction for their skin. It wasn't until 1967, that the U.S. government placed the American alligator on the endangered species list.
Collecting field data is extremely important to RECOVER (REstoration COordination & VERification) which is made up of a multi-agency team of scientists, modelers, planners and resource specialists. The information they collect and synthesize informs the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP).
We are the nation's Environmental Engineers with over four thousand of the USACE workforce specializing in unique environmental disciplines. We make a difference in the lives of American citizens through Everglades restoration we provide clean water to over 8 million people in the state of Florida. (U.S. Army Photo by Brigida Sanchez)
