Everglades Restoration Plan

We at SAFER don't often ask you, the fishermen to do anything, but now is the time to act. We are asking you to pick up a pen and paper and write a simple letter. The South Florida Water Management Board along with the COE is finalizing their Master Recreation Plan. This plan includes all future building projects in the Everglades Restoration Plan, Storm Water Treatment Areas, Reservoirs, and Impoundments. WE can make a difference !! Letter sould read something like this, use your own words.
Mr. Jerry Krenz,
As a Florida Fisherman I would like SFWMD and the COE to consider all future projects in the Everglades Plan to be designed as a fishery as well as a water storage area or water cleaning area. Design should include littoral zones for fish to spawn in, along with leaving structure in the area, such as trees, rocks, fences. This will improve the area as a fishery, and will lessen the cost of the project. Use the Stick Marsh as an example.
Thank you,

SFWMD has agreed to include boat ramp in these areas now it's up to us to convince them to consider it as a fishery. This is not too much to ask only takes a few minutes, and will make a difference.
