MIA Mover In 1999 an evaluation of the C&SF was submitted to Congress as part of the Water Development Act of 1992 the seven-year report called the "Restudy" cited indicators of harm to the ecosystem: a 50 percent reduction in the original Everglades diminished water storage harmful timing of water releases from canals and pumping stations an 85 to 90 percent decrease in wading bird populations over the past 50 years and the decline of output from commercial fisheries Bodies of water including Lake Okeechobee the Caloosahatchee River St Lucie estuary Lake Worth Lagoon Biscayne Bay Florida Bay and the Everglades reflected drastic water level changes hypersalinity and dramatic changes in marine and freshwater ecosystems the Restudy noted the overall decline in water quality over the past 50 years was due to loss of wetlands that act as filters for polluted water it predicted that without intervention the entire South Florida ecosystem would deteriorate Water shortages would become common and some cities would have annual water restrictions!
