Audubon Florida Wetland Restoration Specialist Danielle Ivey presented at the University of Florida’s Symposium on Flooding Adaptation in October. Her presentation featured Audubon’s Wetland Evaluation Tool (WET) and our efforts to drive wetland restoration in the Central Florida Water Initiative Area.

WET is a GIS tool designed to identify scalable projects that mitigate flood risks, improve water quality, enhance recharge, reduce water shortages, create habitats, and improve quality of life. The tool pinpoints key areas for wetland restoration and DWM projects that recharge aquifers and manage surface water effectively.
