University of Florida's "Croc Docs", biologist and graduate student, Brandon Welty holds the ensnared alligator while University of Florida's Research and Education Center, research assistant biologist, Serio A. Balaguera-Reina, Ph.D. measures a captured alligator. The team of scientists have a profound love of animals and reptiles from their youth which led them to study the creatures.
Ecologists classify the North American alligator as a keystone species because of their important role in helping maintain the structure and function of their natural ecosystems.
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)
