Everglades restoration plan. The goal of the Central and Southern Florida
Project Comprehensive Review Study, the "restudy", is to develop plans to spend several billion
dollars to restore the Everglades and Florida Bay ecosystems, while providing for the other
water-related needs of the region and the 5 million people who live there. The final plan is to be
presented to Congress by July 1, 1999. The "draft implementation plan" and much more
information about this huge restructuring of south Florida's landscape is online at: http://www.restudy.org

wetlands of South Korea, including plants and animals that live in them, and maintains an online
forum.
