What is a CERP project?

A CERP project, or Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan project, refers to a series of initiatives aimed at restoring and revitalizing the Everglades ecosystem in Florida. Implemented by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the South Florida Water Management District, these projects focus on improving water quality, enhancing habitat, and restoring natural water flow. The plan addresses critical environmental challenges and aims to balance ecological restoration with human needs. Overall, CERP is one of the largest environmental restoration efforts in the United States.
