Thank you @POTUS! Let's keep the momentum to fund & complete important #EvergladesRestoration projects to #SendWaterSouth like the #EAAReservoir
The Everglades provide drinking water for millions of people, support Florida’s tourism economy, and are home to dozens of endangered species. That’s why we’re investing $1.1 billion through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to protect the critical ecosystem from climate change.

When mayflies "hatch"--transforming from nymph to winged dun, or subimago--they cannot fly until the veins in the wings fill with fluid and the wings become dry. This makes them an easy target for hungry trout. #momentofchill
