According to the National Park Service adult male alligators occasionally reach 13 to 15 feet in length. Maximum length for females is approximately 10 feet. Both sexes tend to be smaller in South Florida. The snout of an alligator is characteristically broad, although the shape can vary slightly among populations and individuals.
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)
