Summary

This project includes support of CERP/RECOVER, assistance with Greater Everglades Priority Ecosystems Science coordination, and a United States Geological Survey liaison with South Florida Water Management District.

The CERP/RECOVER Restoration Technology Transfer and USGS-CERP Liaison with SFWMD effort entails three tasks. The first task involves United States Geological Survey (USGS) participation in CERP Project Delivery Team and RECOVER meetings; work with Department of the Interior (DOI), South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) and other restoration partners to ensure technology transfer and science synthesis; and provision of DOI-specific immediate response for critical information needs. Task two involves assistance with Greater Everglades Priority Ecosystems Science (GE PES) coordination. The third task involves a United States Geological Survey liaison with South Florida Water Management District.
