Before we got involved, water collected in the Kissimmee River Basin north of Lake Okeechobee and flowed south into the lake. It then spilled over the lake’s south shore and flowed slowly south through the Everglades, eventually into Florida Bay. But, that’s no longer how the system works, and ecosystems are suffering because of that, so we’re getting a big picture view of how we wound up where we are today, and what solutions might be found as we move forward. We're joinedby Rae Ann Wessell, she’s Natural Resource Policy Director for the Sanibel Captiva Conservation Foundation, and Eric Eikenberg, CEO of the Everglades Foundation.
