Impact Magazine - Spring 2008 - (Page 15) feature The Everglades ecosystem extends from the Kissimmee River Basin to Lake Okeechobee and Florida Bay. Lake Okeechobee — South Florida’s “liquid heart” — is the critical link between rivers north of the lake and estuaries and wetlands south of the lake. photo by thomas wright As economic and environmental sustainability become key issues in one of the nation’s fastest growing states, researchers at UF’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences are working with ranchers, other state and federal agencies and World Wildlife Fund to improve water resources and natural habitats in South Florida. The new Florida Ranchlands Environmental Services Project is designing and testing a program that will compensate ranchers who protect the water resources, wetlands and wildlife habitats in the vast Everglades ecosystem that extends from the Kissimmee River Basin to Lake Okeechobee and Florida Bay. These partnerships with ranchers will also create economic incentives for land to remain in ranching instead of being used for urban development — land uses that could further aggravate water quality and other environmental problems.
