The USGS conducts ecological and hydrological research and monitoring in support of Greater Everglades restoration efforts throughout South Florida, in conjunction with its Federal, State, and local partners. Research conducted by USGS scientists and their research partners advances the understanding of the Greater Everglades restoration and the potential influence of climate change and sea level rise on ecosystem restoration. USGS¿s research provides valuable information which contributes to decision-making during the restoration effort. The USGS is offering a cooperative-agreement opportunity to CESU partners with the capability to use cutting-edge tools to evaluate land acquisition priorities for the formation of a new National Wildlife Refuge, particularly in the context of Structured Decision Making.
