RECOVER MAP 3.1.3.4 Greater Everglades Vegetation Mapping

The Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP - www.evergladesplan.org), authorized as part of the Water Resources and Development Act (WRDA) of 2000 (U.S. Congress 2000), is an $US8-10 billion hydrologic restoration project for south Florida. CERP includes 68 separate projects to be managed over the next 30 years by the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) and the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). Restoration Coordination and Verification (RECOVER) is a system-wide program within the CERP to organize and provide scientific and technical support for design, implementation, and assessment of the restoration program. It is the role of RECOVER to develop a system-wide monitoring and assessment plan that will document how well the CERP is meeting its objectives for ecosystem restoration.

Vegetation mapping will be used to document changes in the spatial extent, pattern, and proportion of plant communities within the landscape. This map represents the 2009 baseline land-cover vegetation map of northern Everglades National Park and Big Cypress National Preserve..

《综合大沼泽地修复计划》（Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan, CERP，官网：www.evergladesplan.org）是美国国会2000年通过的《水资源与开发法案》（Water Resources and Development Act, WRDA）的授权项目，是一项耗资80至100亿美元的佛罗里达州南部水文修复工程。CERP包含68个独立项目，将在未来30年内由南佛罗里达水资源管理区（South Florida Water Management District, SFWMD）与美国陆军工程兵团（U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, USACE）负责管理。修复协调与验证项目（Restoration Coordination and Verification, RECOVER）是CERP下设的全系统项目，旨在为修复计划的设计、实施与评估提供组织协调以及科学技术支持；其核心职责是制定全系统监测与评估方案，以记录CERP在达成生态修复目标方面的实际成效。
