Post caption
I'm grateful to be a part of the Everglades restoration effort through the contribution of my research. The information I discovered can be used to help restore the ecosystem. Scientists also study many other aspects of the Everglades beyond the ones mentioned in this video. The overall goal is to restore this amazing wetland as closely as possible to its natural state. #researcher #scientist #conservation #everglades #stem

Transcript
How the Everglades is being restored? I'm a scientist that I do research in the Everglades, and engineers are building stormwater treatment areas to treat polluted water and also reservoirs to hold better, release it back into the environment. Now once they're released back into the environment, then scientists monitor plants, wildlife, and also soil to see how they responded to these changes. Now the entire goal is to get the environment back to what it used to be. Everglades scientist, out.
