The Philanthropists
George M. Barley Jr. brought a gunslinger’s bravado and an entrepreneur’s drive to the Everglades restoration movement. In the 1980s Barley, a successful real estate developer and a seventh-generation Floridian, channeled his outrage over the demise of his beloved Florida Bay into a fiery campaign aimed at making its corporate polluters pay.  Many environmentalists feared his cause had died with him on June 23, 1995, when his charter plane crashed in the Everglades. Instead, his shocking death, at age 61, inspired two of his loved ones to lead an even more ferocious charge.  Barley’s widow, Mary, and his closest friend and fishing companion, Paul Tudor Jones II, made a graveside pledge to see George’s dream realized. “Of all of us here,” Jones declared, raising his right hand, “who will pick up the flag?”  Less than a year later the dynamic duo was continuing a campaign launched by George Barley.

WETLANDS
POND APPLE HABITAT WETLANDS RESTORATION

posted March 31, 2003

Janet Phipps, Ph. D./Environmental Resources 
Management

Palm Beach County, located in southeastern Florida, has a natural freshwater lake system, which is relatively rare for Florida. The present day lakes are remnants of a once-natural system of open water and extensive wetlands located along the western slope of the Atlantic Coastal Ridge. This chain-of-lakes system, which extends approximately 30 miles north-south, has been drastically altered by dredging, filling, and channelization. The system is interconnected with a complex web of drainage canals created in the 1900s and 1940s to "drain the swamps" of Florida.  In fact, several smaller lakes in the chain have been filled and now are represented by wider spots in the canal network which interconnects the larger lakes and the drainage canals. The lakes discharge to the Lake Worth Lagoon; thus, they are essentially flow-through systems (Vines, 1970).

Bruce Babbitt: Man Without Shame
CounterPunch Profile In Ignominy
No better case for cynicism about politics is currently available that the career of Bruce Babbitt, Interior Secretary in Clinton time, an era now bodied forth by major green groups in their fundraising material as a time when stewardship of the nation's natural resources can contrast finely with the pillage supposedly ushered in by the Cheney-Bush crowd.  Before leaving the Department of Interior, Babbitt promised that he wouldn't cash in on his years of government service by becoming a high-priced DC lawyer. Then he promptly took a job with Latham and Watkins, a big Washington law firm whose clients include some of the roughest environmental pillagers in the business.  Read more . . .

Whitman Begins to Consider Streamlining Pollution Checks
The Bush administration wants Congress to collapse several of the most contentious air pollution control programs into a more flexible and less intrusive system strongly favored by leading electric utilities.  The proposal is the clearest indication to date that the administration favors overhauling the Clean Air Act in ways that would answer the complaints of utilities that the agency's rules tie them up in paperwork and make them reluctant to invest in new power plants needed to provide electricity to consumers and businesses.  In trying to revise one of the core environmental statutes, last revised in 1990, the administration would set in motion a protracted and politically charged battle in Congress. Unlike some of the Bush administration's moves to reverse environmental regulations adopted by the Clinton administration, any changes to the Clean Air Act would require legislative approval.

Letter to the Editor 

Don't blame deep wells  for coral reefs' demise 

The greatest cause of coral reef deterioration is global warming, according to scientists at the June 20 technical advisory committee meeting of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. Unfortunately, reefs worldwide are in decline because of this phenomenon ("Kudzu of the sea," June 17 Opinion section). 

Closer to home, the Gulf Stream naturally is phosphorus-rich. The same deposits that make Florida one of the world's major fertilizer producers extend out off Florida's coast. Phosphorus continuously enters the Gulf Stream from these formations.

New reserve simply ‘awesome’

Tortugas protection takes effect

By Kevin Wadlow

Ocean pioneer Sylvia Earle brushed a wet lock off her forehead and smiled broadly.  “This is a good start,” declared the world-renowned explorer. “It’s like being present at the dedication of Yellowstone National Park.”

Creation of the Tortugas Ecological Reserves — now the largest no-take area off North American shores, and one of the largest in the world — ranks with the founding of the first national park, said Earle.  “A great, great day,” said Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary Superintendent Billy Causey. “This one is for all our grandkids. These reefs will be here for them to see.”

Water officials want $300,000 for filter marsh to protect Ten Mile Canal

By JANEL SHOUN

Local South Florida Water Management District officials want to set aside $300,000 for a filter marsh to leach pollutants from water in the Ten Mile Canal.

Such a marsh has been a goal of local environmentalists for many years in order to reduce pollutants washed into Estero Bay.

National Academy of Sciences' Everglades panel to meet in Fort Myers

By JANEL SHOUN

A committee of the prestigious National Academy of Sciences that is monitoring progress on Everglades restoration will meet on Florida's west coast for the first time in September.

Although committee staff says the group isn't meeting in Fort Myers to discuss issues pertaining directly to Southwest Florida, there will be time for public comment, and local environmentalists say they will try to take advantage of it.

Bush duo's drilling compromise coming up short for Florida

Three months ago it sounded so horrible: President Bush planning to come to the aid of oil and gas exploration off the Florida Panhandle.

With Florida so dependent on tourism, which in turn is dependent on clean beaches and healthy wildlife, that was seen as a threat — with the added intrigue of Florida being the same state that put George W. Bush into the White House last year and will consider retaining his brother, Jeb Bush, as its governor next year.

Editorial

A rigged deal

In rushing to sell drilling leases for 1.5-million acres in the eastern gulf, the White House blindsided a bipartisan effort to extend a moratorium in the area.

President Bush's scaled-back proposal to expand drilling for oil and natural gas in the Gulf of Mexico still carries enormous risk. While moving the new drilling area further away from Florida may provide political cover for the president and his brother, Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, the net effect is that more than a million acres offshore is closer to being opened for drilling, despite growing momentum across the political spectrum for efforts to prevent new exploration in that portion of the gulf.

Swartz: Oil drilling deal no 'win' for state

By Sally Swartz

I'm sorry, but I just don't feel victorious.

Gov. Bush says all Floridians should, now that his brother, President George W. Bush, and Interior Secretary Gale Norton have decided to allow oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico.

The "victory" is supposed to be that (a) the drilling will take place only on 1.4 million acres instead of 6 million acres and (b) the drilling is on the Alabama side of the Florida-Alabama line through the Gulf of Mexico, far enough from Florida's pristine Panhandle beaches that tourists won't be able to see oil rigs.

U.S. scales back oil lease sales in Gulf of Mexico

President, governor had been at odds

BY FRANK DAVIES

WASHINGTON -- Responding to pressure from Floridas elected officials, the Bush administration Monday scaled back its plans for oil leases in the eastern Gulf of Mexico in a decision that will keep drilling more than 100 miles from state beaches.

Interior Secretary Gale Norton announced plans to sell offshore drilling leases to 1.5 million acres of oil-rich seabed, about one-fourth of the original six-million-acre site that the administration had considered for sale. The entire six-million-acre area included a northern stovepipe-shaped section that came within 20 miles of the coastline near Pensacola.

The decision healed an embarrassing policy rift between Gov. Jeb Bush, who opposed drilling close to Florida, and his brothers administration in a dispute that could have threatened the governors reelection next year. The compromise also divided environmental groups and drew warnings from Democrats.

The smaller area is a rectangle 100 miles from the Florida-Alabama border, 138 miles from Panama City and 285 miles from Tampa.

Florida governor gets offshore drilling gift from brother

By BILL KACZOR

PENSACOLA — Offshore drilling will remain an issue in next year's election even after Republican Gov. Jeb Bush obtained an extensively scaled-back leasing plan for the Gulf of Mexico, Florida's Democratic party leader said Tuesday.

But the compromise reached with the governor's brother, President Bush, was praised by some environmentalists, including Enid Sisskin, legislative chairwoman for Gulf Coast Environmental Defense in Pensacola.

Anti-drilling advocates scoff at deal

Oil restrictions more ominous, say environmentalists

By LARRY WHEELER

WASHINGTON — The Bush administration’s decision to restrict new offshore drilling in the Gulf of Mexico for the next five years may not be as big an environmental win as some politicians say it is, anti-drilling advocates in Florida warned Tuesday.

Although President Bush agreed to cancel about 75 percent of the planned lease sale of 5.9 million acres in the Gulf of Mexico, there is still plenty of opportunity for environmental damage and political maneuvering, conservationists said.

Summer rains not enough to quench drought Winter deficit too much to overcome 

By KEVIN LOLLAR

With water filling roadside ditches, mosquitoes filling the air, and lawns needing to be cut twice per week, it's hard to believe Southwest Florida is still in a drought. Almost daily, thunderstorms march noisily across Lee County from the east, soaking the area with inches of rain at a time.

Traditionally, South Florida receives almost 40 of its annual 53.37 inches of rainfall from May through September, but water supplies need that remaining 13 inches during the dry season. Over the past two years, dry seasons have been extremely dry.

Such a hole, in fact, that water levels at Lake Okeechobee, the heart of South Florida's water system, are hovering at 9 feet, whereas 18 feet is normal for this time of year. Even if South Florida gets normal summer rains, the lake probably won't return to normal this year, said Kurt Harclerode, spokesman for the South Florida Water Management District.

Ancient Tequesta Indian burial site found at Brickell Park 

BY SARA OLKON AND MARTIN MERZER mmerzer@herald.com 

An extensive, ancient cemetery almost certainly created by the native Americans who occupied the Miami Circle has been unearthed in downtown Miami's Brickell Park, archaeologists revealed Tuesday. Discovery of the human remains immediately ended plans for a high-rise on the site, and the revelation could permanently preserve one of the last slivers of greenery along Brickell Avenue. 

Test holes in the 2.4-acre park exposed the bones of at least 12 people, said Bob Carr, a leading archaeologist who directed the project and also helped discover the Miami Circle. The remains are up to 2,500 years old and span 1,000 years -- from about 500 B.C. to the year 500, he said. ``It's an astonishing development,'' Carr said. ``This appears to be the selected mortuary for the Tequesta town on the south side of the Miami River. These were the people who were using the Miami Circle.''

Estero Bay group tosses idea of land trust onto the table 

By JANEL SHOUN, jrshoun@naplesnews.com 

ESTERO - In order to create its own successful land trust, Estero Bay Buddies would have to have an outgoing organizer, a legal fund and a well- defined community, an officer for Calusa Land Trust told the group Tuesday. 

Phil Buchanan, of Calusa Land Trust, which holds 2,000 acres on Pine Island, laid out the history of the 25-year-old land preservation charity and its methods for raising money, which range from a memorial scenic overlook to rubber ducks. 

Estero Bay Buddies was interested because earlier this year its purpose for being, the Estero Bay Aquatic Buffer Preserve, was downlisted on a state funding priority list. State officials, faced with sharp cuts in dollars devoted to land preservation, said they are now looking for local preservation projects to find some new partners and bring in some matching money.

County misses water conservation target 
Swiftmud is working with Hillsborough to figure out why it fell so far short of lowering water use 5 percent. 

By LISA GREENE 

Swiftmud is working with Hillsborough to figure out why it fell so far short of lowering water use 5 percent.  Severe drought conditions throughout the region prompted the Southwest Florida Water Management District to tell its member governments to cut their water use by 5 percent compared with the same period last year. 

In comparing May and June with the same months last year, preliminary numbers show that the member governments of Tampa Bay Water dropped their water use by just more than 5 percent, said David Bracciano, Tampa Bay Water's conservation manager. 

Those numbers could change slightly, but it appears that St. Petersburg, Pasco County and New Port Richey made the cut easily, and that Tampa hovered at 5 percent. Only Hillsborough County failed to come close -- and the county could suffer some consequences. Hillsborough cut its water use by 1.7 percent in May and increased it by 1.3 percent in June, compared with May and June of last year.  http://sptimes.com/News/070401/Hillsborough/County_misses_water_c.shtml

Water quality again a concern at Collier beaches 

For the second time in less than two months, water quality at a Collier County beach is in question in the days before a summer holiday. A water sample taken Monday from Hideaway Beach on Marco Island tested in the poor range for enterococcus, a bacteria that indicates the presence of organisms that can make people sick, health workers said Tuesday.

Maura Kraus, a senior environmental specialist with the Collier County Natural Resources Department and head of the county's sea turtle protection program adds, "Just a little extra protection," on Tuesday morning to existing sea turtle nests south of Naples Pier to protect the nests when thousands of people head to Naples' beaches Wednesday night to watch the Fourth of July fireworks. 

"They need to be respectful of the nests," said Kraus, "We work very hard to protect the species and in a second they can be destroyed." Since the turtles should begin hatching next week, they are close to the surface and very vulnerable. 

Kraus also hopes that people will watch their children and keep them from playing or digging in the nests. In addition, the number of total nests in Collier is down this year, from 948 at this time last year to 707 this year. http://www.naplesnews.com/01/07/naples/d646417a.htm

Cities wary of reports about water

Spurred by population growth and frequent droughts, Kissimmee city officials are urging their St. Cloud counterparts to join forces with other local governments to study water-supply issues.

Kissimmee City Manager Mark Durbin was at the St. Cloud city meeting Thursday night to propose an agreement for Osceola County, Kissimmee and St. Cloud to join forces with other counties in Central Florida to test the level of the Floridan Aquifer and compare it to the water district's.

Americans choosing comfort over conservation 

BY FRED TASKER

In these days of drought, gridlock, sprawl, soaring gas prices, California brownouts and a Texas oil man in the White House -- whose star is in the ascendancy, the weed lover's or the SUV fan's? As a matter of personal philosophy, is conservation cool? 

Some relevant statistics cast serious doubt: 

Florida Power and Light raised its rates 8 percent in January and another 9 percent in April, and has yet to see the tiniest drop in electricity use.

Alligators and Litigators : A Recent History of Everglades Regulation and Litigation
by Keith W. Rizzardi

To many Florida lawyers, litigation in the Everglades seems as old as the Everglades itself. Its history can be traced back to the 1800s when Hamilton Disston and Henry Flagler were draining, dredging, and filling Florida's land while fighting in the courts with shareholders, speculators, and state land administrators.  The modern history of litigation in the Everglades is dominated by agricultural interests, environmental interest groups, the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians, and state and federal agencies. Along the way, important precedents have been created, affecting the Everglades as well as Florida administrative and environmental law in general.

http://www.sfwmd.gov/org/wsd/cerp/forever.pdf
(182 pages, 3 MB download file)

In 1999, the Florida Forever program was created, which authorized the issuance of bonds in an amount not to exceed $3 billion for acquisitions of land and water areas. This revenue is to be used for restoration, conservation, recreation, water resource development, historical preservation and capital improvements to such land and water areas. This program is intended to accomplish environmental restoration, enhance public access and recreational enjoyment, promote long-term management goals, and facilitate water resource development.

Water management districts are required to create a five-year plan that identifies projects meeting specific criteria. In developing their project lists, each district is to integrate its surface water improvement and management plans, Save Our Rivers land acquisition lists, stormwater management projects, proposed water resource development projects, proposed water body restoration projects, and other properties or activities that would assist in meeting the goals of Florida Forever.  The initial plan must be submitted by June 1, 2001 to the President of the Senate, Speaker of the House of Representatives, and Secretary of the Department of Environmental Protection. By January 1 of each year thereafter, each district must then report on acquisitions completed during the year, as well as modifications or additions to its five-year work plan.  The plans will also include the status of funding, staffing and resource management for every project funded for which the district is responsible.

Thirty-five percent of the Florida Forever bond proceeds are distributed annually to FDEP for land acquisition and capital expenditures in order to implement the priority lists submitted by the water management districts.  A minimum of fifty percent of the funding is to be used for land acquisition.  The South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) annual net share is $33,075,000. The Everglades Restoration Investment Act, Section 373.470(5)(b), F.S., mandates that for ten consecutive years, $25M of this funding is to be used to implement the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP). Since approximately 75 percent of the Florida Forever funding that the SFWMD will receive will be dedicated to CERP, CERP is a major focus of the SFWMD Florida Forever Workplan.  This work plan describes specific projects that will be eligible for Florida Forever funding in the FY2001 - 2005 period. It is arranged in sections that correspond to the regions described in the August, 2000 CERP Master Program Management Plan. Additionally, it includes projects for which the SFWMD expects to seek reimbursement through Florida Forever in fiscal year 200: the Western C-11 Diversion Impoundment and Canal (Cell 11), C-43 Basin Storage Reservoir, and Kissimmee River Restoration.

Wetlands and Remediation: The Second International Conference

Background: In November, 1999, Battelle Memorial Institute, a not-for-profit research organization based in Columbus, Ohio, sponsored and organized a wetlands and remediation conference in Salt Lake City, Utah, that brought together more than 300 wetlands and remediation experts to discuss common issues related to cleaning up contaminated wetlands and using wetlands (both natural and constructed) for treating contaminated ground-, surface-, and wastewater. Based on the success of that meeting, Battelle is pleased to announce that Wetlands and Remediation: The Second International Conference will be held September
5-6, 2001, at the Sheraton Burlington Hotel and Conference Center in Burlington, Vermont.

Organization: Karl Nehring of Battelle (614/424-6510, nehringk@battelle.org), Conference Chairman, will be responsible for coordinating the development of the technical program. Carol Young (614/424-7604, youngc@battelle.org) will be the Conference Coordinator, responsible for scheduling, correspondence, and issues involving abstract and manuscript submittal and preparation. The Conference Group (800/783-6338, conferencegroup@compuserve.com) of Columbus, Ohio, is
handling the meeting logistics.

Format: After an opening plenary session, there will be multiple platform sessions (two or three concurrent tracks), and a poster session on Wednesday evening. Speakers at the Plenary Session will include Dr. Jean-Paul Schwitzguebel of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne, Dr. Barry Warner of the University of Waterloo (current vice president of the Society of Wetland Scientists) and Dr. John Pardue of Louisiana State University.

Sponsorship: Battelle is the sponsor and organizer, and we are hoping to add co-sponsors for the 2001 conference. Parsons Engineering Science, Morrison Knudsen Corporation, the U.S. DoD Environmental Security Technical Certification Program/Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program, and the U.S. Naval Facilities Engineering Command were co-sponsors of the 1999 Conference. Organizations interested in co-sponsoring the 2001 Conference should contact The Conference Group.

Participating Organizations: Organizations committed to helping with publicity for the conference and encouraging participation should contact The Conference Group at 800/783-6338. Participating organizations for the 1999 meeting included The Center for Wetlands and Riparian Design (University of Utah), Environmental Business Journal, the USDA NRCS Wetlands Science Institute, the University of Florida Center for Wetlands, The Michigan State University Institute of Water
Research, the Olentangy River Wetland Research Park (The Ohio State University), The Department of Oceanography and Coastal Sciences/Coastal
Ecology Institute (Louisiana State University), The U.S. Army Construction Engineering Laboratory, the Utah Water Research Laboratory (Utah State University), the Tennessee Valley Authority, and the New York State Wetlands Forum.

Exhibitors: Companies or organizations interested in having an exhibit booth at the conference should contact The Conference Group at 800/783-6338.

Schedule: The Call for Abstracts will be mailed in November 2000; the deadline for submitting abstracts will be March 5, 2001. Once the program has been finalized and accepted presenters have been sent acceptance letters, a preliminary program will be mailed. 

Proceedings: A proceedings volume will be prepared and then published by Battelle Press and mailed to registrants shortly after the conference. Proceedings papers will be optional but strongly encouraged from all presenters, both platform and poster. Authors wishing to have their papers appear in the proceedings will be requested to provide camera-ready copies of their papers by July 13.

Registration: Because registration fees are by far the major source of funding for the conference and a significant percentage of registrants will make presentations, all presenting authors and session chairs are expected to register and pay the standard fees.  Potential topics for this conference include:

- Natural Attenuation in Wetlands
- Biological and Ecological Considerations
- Risk-Based Wetlands Remediation
- Regulatory Trends 
- Economic Factors in Wetlands Remediation and Restoration 
- Wetlands Hydrology and Morphology 
- Wetlands Microbial Ecology 
- Phytoremediation and Macrophytes in Wetlands 
- Wetlands for the Remediation and Treatment of Wastewater 
- Wetlands Treatment of Contaminated Sediments 
- GIS and Remediation 
- Innovative Technologies for Wetlands Investigations 
- Non-point Source Pollution and Agricultural Runoff 
- Redox Processes in Wetlands 
- Contaminant Fate and Environmentally Acceptable Endpoints 
- Wetlands Design and Construction 
- Creating Wetlands using Dredge Spoils 
- Wetlands Restoration and Mitigation 
- Explosives and Wetlands 
- Hydrocarbon-Contaminated Wetlands 
- Mine Waste Considerations 
- Metals and Inorganics in Wetlands 
- Perchlorate-Contaminated Wetlands 
- Groundwater/Surface Water Interfaces

The Last Noah’s Ark

Brazil

What is it?
The environmental program The Last Noah’s Ark is result of years of studies of his idealizer Antonio Silveira Ribeiro dos Santos in natural history and environmental area. Created in August 1995 and registered at 7th notary public office of São Paulo (n0 249.836). Author rights register n0 106.123, book 158, pages 418.

The Purposes
• Conscious about the necessity of nature’s preservation and conservation;
• Development of studies for an effective protection of species and main ecosystern;
• Promoting environmental education at all levels;
• Improving the quality of global life;
• Supplying subvention for the improvement of Environment’s Rights.

What makes the difference?
It is a program created and developed by a person who puts together concerned people with the same idea and an equal participation, without obedience. It is not an ONG.
The program does not accept any direct monetary help. Eventually the interested people may collaborate by lending goods to the program.
