So far, the state of Florida has invested more than $2.4 billion to implement the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan. The watershed area north of Lake Okeechobee is a critical part of the Everglades restoration, as it is where nuch of the polution that flows into the lake and south to the everglades originates.
