Abstract: There are several policy components within the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) that may be applicable to other ecosystem restoration efforts. This report provides a description of each policy component as well as an analysis of its potential benefits and disadvantages in the restoration process. A proposed version of programmatic regulations is cited throughout this report.
