Congratulations!
Florida Gulf Coast University Foundation
$100,000 Impact Grant
Southwest Florida Mangrove Restoration & Enhancement Dashboard Development
Mangroves have been heavily impacted by the severe hurricanes experienced in Florida over the past several years. The Foundation is pleased to support this project that will provide a much-needed dashboard for agencies, universities and other actively engaged organizations to see the real time status of the mangrove forests/swamps that provide vital flood control functions in the region. The dashboard looks to provide not only the ability to monitor damaged areas, but also to manage undamaged areas and provide preventative maintenance as opposed to restoration.
