2024 SFER cover
The South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) today released
the 2024 South Florida Environmental Report (SFER) underscoring
the continued progress for Everglades restoration and water quality across
Central and Southern Florida.

The annual SFER report highlights record hydration and improvement of
water quality, significant momentum for sending more water south, ground-
breakings and ribbon cuttings of major Everglades restoration projects, and
many other important milestones for the resiliency of the region’s water re-
sources and ecosystems.

The 2024 SFER report also documents restoration, scientific and engineering
accomplishments over the past year in the Kissimmee Basin, Lake Okeechobee,
the Everglades and the coastal areas. It includes peer-reviewed scientific data and
an extensive online searchable database of projects. The report details Water Year
2023 (May 1, 2022–April 30, 2023) and SFWMD Fiscal Year 2023 (Oct. 1, 2022-
Sept. 30, 2023).

The report can be found by visiting SFWMD.gov/SFER.
