New Project on Lake Okeechobee




I am fascinated by the ecosystem and water ways of the Everglades. A major piece of the Everglades and water comes from Lake Okeechobee, the second largest body of water in North America. In the 1980's I did a science fair project that confirmed my middle school theory that phosphorus was present in the Lake and effecting its ecology. How many years later now, I am learning of both new issues with Lake O and her history. As I learn more, I will certainly share not only historical points, but the significant steps taken to preserve the area, revitalize communities, and restore the Everglades.

Many Thanks to Boots and Chris for my first day on Lake O in a long, long time.
