U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, biologist Jessica Dell, Ph.D. holds a hatchling. Alligators located in Everglades National Park are the perfect indicator species when it comes to the health of the subtropical wetland ecosystem. The reptile is sensitive to water levels, the amount of salt in the water, and the availability of prey.
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)
