SAD is committed to integrating EWN into guidance and processes to facilitate the meaningful evaluation of natural and nature-based features into our projects and procedures. This commitment not only includes new studies, but also incorporates EWN concepts into existing civil works projects, USACE managed recreational areas, and emphasizes the public interest benefits of EWN for the Regulatory Program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scientists and engineers from across the nation gathered for work on the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) which is a cost-shared project between the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD). The project will set the foundation for restoring the central portion of the Everglades ecosystem and sending additional water south.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Commander’s Memo<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Commanders Memo signed by Brigadier General, Daniel Hibner, 27 February 2023. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a proving ground, SAD will share proven EWN techniques across USACE and identify new, innovative ways to apply EWN to Civil Works programs to build resilient water resources infrastructure. SAD will leverage experience from partners and sister Districts, including application of Indigenous Traditional Ecological Knowledge, full memo.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The desired outcome is to include EWN in planning and design efforts to increase resiliency in communities and allow for future adaptation. Learn more from SAD<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
