Report blasts slow progress on Everglades restoration http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1222795630
After eight years, the ambitious effort to restore the Everglades has produced stacks of science and engineering studies, created a sprawling bureaucracy and burned though $7 billion or so of taxpayer money.
But it hasn't restored much of anything.
That's the conclusion of a National Research Council progress report on the Everglades released Monday.
It finds that while the great marsh and its wildlife continue to decline, projects intended to revive the River of Grass have been tied up in red tape, interagency turf battles, budget shortfalls and waffling political support. Construction runs years behind schedule and billions over budget.... "Portions of the ecosystem are close to thresholds that, if they continue to deteriorate, it will be too late."
