As a result, the remaining Everglades ecosystem no longer exhibits the structure, function, or diversity that historically defined the pre-drainage system. The Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP), authorized by Congress in 2000, restores, preserves, and protects the south Florida ecosystem while providing for other water-related needs including water supply and flood protection. CERP focuses on quantity, quality, timing, and distribution of water flow, given modern constraints, to recover critical ecological functions that characterized the historical Everglades and other portions of the south Florida landscape.  This presentation will highlight examples of how south Florida ecosystem restoration projects like CERP, and the Kissimmee River Restoration Project, embody the principles of engineering with nature restoring hydrology through removal of more than 240 miles of internal levees and canals, improving the health of over 2.4 million acres by allowing water to flow nearly unobstructed throughout the south Florida ecosystem.   \" class=\"wp-image-18579\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ewn.erdc.dren.mil\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/2023_November_N-EWN_Webinar_Announcement-opt.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/ewn.erdc.dren.mil\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/2023_November_N-EWN_Webinar_Announcement-opt-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ewn.erdc.dren.mil\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/2023_November_N-EWN_Webinar_Announcement-opt-768x433.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For previously recorded seminars, please visit the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ewn.erdc.dren.mil\/knowledge-series-seminars\/\">N-EWN Seminars page<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","tags":[83,60],"event-types":[72],"class_list":["post-18564","engagements","type-engagements","status-publish","hentry","tag-n-ewn","tag-news","event-types-seminars"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>N-EWN Seminar: Engineering With Nature within the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) - Engineering With Nature<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/ewn.erdc.dren.mil\/engagements\/event\/engineering-with-nature-within-the-comprehensive-everglades-restoration-plan-cerp\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"N-EWN Seminar: Engineering With Nature within the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) - Engineering With Nature\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The Network for Engineering With Nature\u00ae\u00a0(EWN) invites you to the N-EWN Knowledge Series: A Continuing Education Series about Engineering with Nature\u2014Engineering With Nature within the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP), with Gina Ralph, PhD, USACE Jacksonville District.
