According to a 2014 report, less than 20 percent of CERP projects have been funded to date, and it could take 100 years to complete the CERP at the current rate of funding, during which time the Everglades would decline further. The report notes that completing the CERP in 50 years, as estimated in a 2014 Congressional Research Service report, would require "substantial additional investment."

Book (USACE and SFWMD, 1999) provided only a general outline for the restoration
of the Everglades and not a detailed restoration plan. To facilitate restoration
actions in the face of uncertainty, an adaptive management approach (Holling,
1978) was embraced as a mechanism to incorporate emerging scientific and
engineering information into the plan and to address unforeseen issues related to
the restoration project. Congress approved funding for an adaptive management
and monitoring program in WRDA 2000, and the Programmatic Regulations
(33 CFR §385.31) directed the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to adopt
an adaptive management approach.
The Programmatic Regulations define adaptive management as “a means for
analyzing the performance of the Plan and assessing progress toward meeting the
goals and purposes of the Plan as well as a basis for improving the performance
of the Plan.”

“whenever necessary to ensure that the goals and objectives of the Plan are
achieved but not any less often than every 5 years.” These evaluations can
result in consideration of adjustments in operations, CERP components (removing, adding or changing), or any combination of these. The Initial CERP Update
(RECOVER, 2005b) was conducted and published in 2005, which included
revisions to performance measures, model updates, and changes in modeling. However, No such evaluation of the
CERP has been conducted since 2005 despite substantial changes in scientific,
technical, and planning information!

Communication strategies that focus on providing detailed information on the progress made in addressing the highest priority uncertainties is needed. The CERP can learn from approaches used in other systems. Reports with clear graphics that
quickly convey progress, summarize the overall conclusions, and indicate the
trends in recovery are valuable to communicate progress]]> 2023-10-21 20:28:53 UTC https://padlet.com/sking1810/6xwhrbvj896v4e81/wish/2757344937 matthewfarley1987 https://padlet.com/sking1810/6xwhrbvj896v4e81/wish/2757366794 2023-10-21 21:29:21 UTC https://padlet.com/sking1810/6xwhrbvj896v4e81/wish/2757366794
