Everglades
Group Members
There is only one Everglades. Because of this it commands the attention of environmentalists and business. It demands the protection of government while it provides the basis for economic vitality from coast to coast. When we look at the Everglades, we see opportunity and responsibility. Natural resources provide a strong foundation for our economic strength, from water supply to recreation and far beyond. When we look at the Everglades, we see the competing and shared interests. But then again, we see things differently.
The Everglades watershed dominates South Florida’s landscape. It features many ecosystems from the Kissimmee River into Lake Okeechobee, from the River of Grass to Florida Bay and includes the Everglades National Park. The Florida Everglades brings a multi-layered regulatory maze that significantly impacts and influences agricultural, industrial, commercial, residential, recreational and governmental activities. Our attorneys can provide you with experienced and cost-effective legal services to help you navigate the complex legal issues surrounding the Florida Everglades. These include water quality, water consumption and water supply, flood control, protected species, estuary protection, Everglades restoration, land use controls, best management practices, fisheries, contamination and salt water intrusion. Whether we are directly representing or assisting your in-house counsel and consultants, we are dedicated to meeting your needs in a timely and professional manner.
