The Firm brings a wealth of knowledge to the authorization and implementation process of complex ecosystem restoration initiatives. Bringing over 20 years of experience with Everglades, Lake Okeechobee, and Kissimmee River restoration, we know the complexities of Federal and State restoration initiatives and how to navigate them. Several processes are at work simultaneously such as federal/state authorizations and appropriations, federal and state rule-making, legislative initiatives, project documentation, and alternatives analysis pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the Clean Water Act (CWA) and building support to prioritize various projects. We have worked with Agricultural, Tribal, local government, not-for-profit, and private sector clients to understand and effectively participate in these types of initiatives.

The Firm has developed a multi-disciplined Team to help local governments and stakeholders navigate Gulf restoration and all of its complexities are the federal and state levels including federal rule-making for Department of Treasury Regulations, the development of Multi-Year Plans, government outreach, environmental resource planning and other support services.
