Session Description:
Legacy phosphorus (P), the accumulation of P in soils and lake sediments from past management practices, can continue to impact water quality over decades, which can make restoration benefits difficult to quantify and reduce confidence in restoration results. This panel discusses challenges and opportunities of legacy P management in conservation and restoration programs in the Northern Everglades.

Moderator:
Dr. Les Thiele

Panel Description:
Perceptions of Florida’s waters span a broad spectrum: from the abundant to the scarce, the pristine to the polluted, the equitably shared to the improperly exploited, the eternally inviting to the newly foreboding. Science helps us discern the truth in these matters, and illuminates the means of protecting, conserving and improving Florida’s defining natural resource. But politics can muddy the waters. The art and craft of developing effective policies and building constructive partnerships can harness science for informed decision-making. Panelists will bring their extensive experience in these matters to bear on overcoming obstacles and making the most of opportunities.
Invited Panelists:

Ernie Barnett, Executive Director, Florida Land Council
Shannon Estenoz, Vice President of Policy & Public Affairs/ Chief Operating Officer, Everglades Foundation
Tom Frazer, Chief Science Officer, State of Florida Office of Environmental Accountability and Transparency
Jennifer Jurado, Chief Resilience Officer and Director of the Environmental Planning and Community Resilience Division
