U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, biologist Jessica Dell, Ph.D. and University of Florida's Research and Education Center, research assistant biologist, Serio A. Balaguera-Reina, Ph.D., log: location, length, width, weight and sex of the captured alligator. To accurately account for the health of the Everglades using alligators as an indicator species the alligators must be natively located in Everglades National Park.
Alligators located outside of the subtropical wetland in places like canals and residential lakes have access to an abundance of prey that may not be readily available in their native environment.
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)
