We need a veto. The "Taking of Bears" law is likely unconstitutional, unnecessary, and dangerous.Ā We need broader adoption of solutions for living alongside FL bears, instead of legislation encouraging individuals to open fire in Florida neighborhoods. act.audubon.org/a/bears

A festive Everglade snail kite in silhouette. You can tell it’s a snail kite by the beak and the way the Santa hat dangles forward…because they’re always looking down in the water for bite to eat.

Have we dodged a bullet with Lake Okeechobee discharges and toxic algae? The St. Lucie River may have dodged a bullet this summer, but El Nino will make Lake O discharges inevitable this winter. tcpalm.com/story/opinion/col… – at Pennsylvania, USA

Trying to catch a glimpse of the flamingos that blew in with the hurricane? Be sure to give them plenty of space—these birds are trying to survive in a new environment and disturbance expends valuable energy. Binoculars or a zoom on your camera will give you a closer look!

In an annual tradition as part of @SFWMD's recognition of Water Reuse Week, Governing Board Member Jacqui Thurlow-Lippisch passed the ceremonial purple jacket to Governing Board Member Charlette Roman. The jacket represents the purple pipes that carry reclaimed water and the ongoing efforts to encourage the use of reclaimed water.

Did you know the use of reclaimed water reduces the demand on our underground aquifers & preserves our water resources? Visit SFWMD.gov/News to learn more.

šŸŽ‰ Today, @SFWMD and @EvergladesNPS celebrated the completion of the Taylor Slough Flow Improvement Project to send more clean water south to Florida Bay to support the restoration of America’s Everglades.

Gator faces are so expressive and precious. I want @netflix to greenlight "Panhandle Gator Faces" "the trials, tribulations, and triumphs" of gators just livin' their lives in St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge. @GatorsDaily should write it; I just want a producer credit.
