Appendix B

CESI-funded Research Projects and Their Relationship to the Science Subgroup Science Objectives

The following table shows the CESI-funded projects (also detailed in Appendix A) according to relevant science objectives that were identified in the Science Subgroup (1996) report on Scientific Information Needs. This information was provided upon request by the CESI coordinator with assistance from several program managers. The specific scientific objectives are highlighted below and include the entire South Florida region (SF region) and region-wide objectives for models, exotics, mercury, threatened and endangered species (T&E), and contaminants. The table also includes objectives for the following subregions: the southern Everglades, the southern coastal areas (S.Coast), the lower east coast urban area (LEG), and the Water Conservation Areas (WCA). CESI projects that partially address the objectives are also listed.

The report reviews a U.S. Department of the Interior research program, finding that it provides key information to support the restoration of the Florida Everglades and to better assess the impact of hydrologic change on the ecosystem. However, the program needs more funding, better management and broader distribution of its findings. The report suggests that strategic investments in Everglades research will increase the chances of reaching restoration goals while reducing overall costs.
