One of the curious details in this story is that it took dire threats to competing interests (sporting recreation, real estate, tourism) to overcome the established role of sugar industry money in obstructing Everglades recovery.
I'll note that at least one set of major vested interests still holds sway - though there's passing mention that mangroves absorb carbon dioxide, the story says nothing about the likelihood that climate change will obviate most of the planned remediation.
