Water bill to steer nearly $2 billion to Everglades

This is great news, Ft Myers gets impacted by the run off water and it does cause damage to the coastline.

The House on Wednesday approved a massive water bill authorizing $1.95 billion for projects to help restore Florida’s River of Grass.

The Everglades restoration program is expected to protect coastal communities from damaging runoff by diverting 67 billion gallons of water southward per year to improve the habitat in Florida Bay. That will prevent seagrass die-offs threatening valuable fisheries in the Florida Keys.
