BODY:

Please send letters of support to the US Army Corps of Engineers for the Lake Okeechobee Watershed Restoration Project and the Loxahatchee River Watershed Restoration Project.  A letter of support letter is a required step for Florida to get Federal Cost Share Dollars. Without your letters, progress on the Lake Okeechobee Watershed Restoration Project and the Loxahatchee River Watershed Restoration Project are in jeopardy. Studies and science have proven these projects provide significant benefits for the greater Everglades environment, are critical to reducing the necessity for and frequency of releases to the Caloosahatchee and St. Lucie Rivers, addressing the quantity, quality, timing and distribution of flows into Lake Okeechobee, and curbing the associated environmental impacts we currently experience. I urge you to send your letter of support today.
