We
at S.A.F.E.R. support Everglades restoration. Anglers
for decades have been concerned about our environment. We
believe that the impediment to sheetflow is the
levees and not the canals. S.A.F.E.R.
feels that if the levees were removed (or partially
removed), water would sheetflow overtop of the
canals.
A
healthy, restored Everglades with its increased
connectivity will provide additional spawning,
nursery, and foraging habitat for our sportfish
and their prey. This will provide
system wide benefits, as well as potentially
improve the quality and quantity of sportfish
populations.
We want
to see "Restoration With Recreation" in
mind. The canals do not need to be filled in
to restore the Everglades. Review the "Points
To Make" section for more on this.
This
web site is used to keep the angling community
informed of what is going on with the
Everglades Restoration pertaining to WCA 3 and
our recreational rights. It will keep you
updated about upcoming public meetings, S.A.F.E.R.
meetings and other S.A.F.E.R. events. So
visit often and keep up to date!!!
