It has been known for a long time that Everglades restoration will have Bobby McCormick, important and significant economic impacts on basic services provided by 'p Mather Economics this massive and complex ecosystem. However, this is the first time a principal investigator study has been conducted to quantify the estimated increase in economic value of a restored Everglades ecosystem. The ability to justify the "What we wanted to do was economic benefits of on-going wetland ecosystem restoration efforts is critical to the effort to secure additional support for restoration projects in provide a business-like America's Everglades. approach about public decisions on Everglades restoration." Among the benefits of Everglades restoration, according to the report: "if restoration is a business decision, would you do it? What do you get out of f1 Protection of Water Supply: Enhanced availability of freshwater, spending$11 billion? decreased costs of alternative water supplies Is it worth spending the money?Our answer is Restoring America's Everglades is expected to result in at least the unequivocally yes." energy cost savings from desalinating less saline groundwater. Groundwater in the coastal counties of the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) is becoming increasingly brackish. It will have to be desalinated before most uses. The restoration of sheet flow according to the CERP can be Tamara Pigott, executive expected to decrease groundwater salinity, because the additional director of Lee County's fresh water filtered into the aquifer from above will displace Visitor & Convention Bureau seawater seeping into the aquifer from below. "What's special about Lee County and Southwest Florida as ` Enhanced Value of Real Estate Increased property values due to is our beautiful ecosystem. the quality of water in waterways and groundwater Water quality equals a good environment, and that's what A restored Everglades will improve the quality of surface water in the 16-county South Florida Water Management District. Water draws people here." plays an important role in the determination of residential real estate values. Proximity, type (ocean, bay, lake, river, etc.), view, "As to dollar values, there are size and quality are among the water attributes that are valued by a lot of ways to skin a cat: One real estate buyers. For example, lakeside or seaside properties sell economist will say one thing, at a premium to properties located away from bodies of water.

Logic dictates that Everglades' restoration would increase the quality of these activities and, consequently, the number of resident and non-resident visitors to the Everglades. This increase in recreational and tourist activity translates to an economic value that can be estimated. Charles Dauray, a South Florida Water Management District governing board Improved Wildlife Populations and Hunting Opportunities: member representing Lee, Restoring habitat allows for increases in wildlife populations Collier, Hendry and Charlotte counties. Hunting and wildlife viewing are popular pastimes in the Everglades and there are two important hunting groups: deer and waterfowl (primarily ducks). Restoration stands to alter opportunities to hunt "Everglades restoration is not at least two key species. Deer have moved into and flourished in the just an outlay of money:It's drained wetlands of the Everglades, and ducks have left. Restoration also an investment in our will reverse these recent trends by producing a net gain in duck economic future.

In addition, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers estimates there will be 22,966 short- to mid-term jobs created as a result of the actual restoration projects. Throughout this analysis, a very conservative approach to estimation was taken. Accordingly, best estimates almost surely understate the return on investment of Everglades restoration.
