Tropical Audubon’s Rock Salt: “The Science Is Clear — Rescue the River of Grass”

“For decades, people have acknowledged the need for substantially more land in the EAA area… Now we must act before it’s too late.”
— Rock Salt, Tropical Audubon Society

Few understand the history and challenges of Everglades restoration better than Terrence “Rock” Salt, former commander of the Jacksonville District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

Now a citizen advocate who serves as Vice President of Tropical Audubon Society in Miami, he says one fact has remained unchanged over the decades: Restoring the Everglades requires more land, more dynamic water storage, and more water-cleansing marshes in the Everglades Agricultural Area (EAA) south of Lake Okeechobee.

Rock sees a logical and timely path forward in the campaign to Rescue the River of Grass. The science is clear, the funding is available, and the moment to act is now.

That’s why Tropical Audubon has joined Friends of the Everglades in the fight to Rescue the River of Grass. Building public support right now is crucial.
