They said the EAA Reservoir would never be approved. Now, a decade later, the STA portion is finished and the reservoir’s projected completion has been expedited to 2029.

Progress like this is only possible because thousands of people like you continue to stand up, and speak up for Florida’s waters. Let's keep the momentum going

Celebrating progress on the project they said would never get approved.

The EAA Reservoir is a massive restoration project that aims to:

👉 store, clean and send more beneficial water south through the Everglades

👉 reduce harmful discharges to the Caloosahatchee and St. Lucie Estuaries

👉 keep Lake Okeehcobee at a lower, ecologically healthier level

👉 balance salinity levels in Florida Bay

It's a critical project, and it wouldn't have been possible without the thousands of you who continue to stand up and advocate for our waters. Thanks for sticking wit us in this fight. We've come a long way 💪
