LAKE OKEECHOBEE, Fla. - Much of Lake Okeechobee’s recovery is happening out of sight, beneath the water’s surface.

In some areas of the lake, native underwater plants are beginning to return which is an early, but important, sign of improving habitat for fish and wildlife. Chara is already growing, and shoots of tape grass have begun to appear.

Lane Receives GSARP Service Appreciation Award

Jon Lane, Jacksonville District Invasive Species Management Branch Chief was recently recognized with a Service Appreciation Award by Matt Phillips, Chair of the Gulf and South Atlantic Regional Panel (GSARP), for nearly 20 years of faithful service and meaningful contributions advancing regional efforts to address aquatic invasive species.

Representing the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Jacksonville District as a federal partner, Lane helped strengthen coordination among eight Gulf and South Atlantic states—from Texas to North Carolina—to confront the growing ecological and economic impacts of invasive aquatic species. Through the GSARP, he has supported the shared work of state and federal partners to protect native ecosystems and advance effective regional solutions.

Congratulations Jon, on a job well done.

Working with our partners! Maj. Cory Bell, Deputy Commander for South, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), provided the Florida Inland Navigation District Commissioners with an overview of the Jacksonville District's South Florida Civil Works Program. His presentation included updates on ongoing navigation, dredging, coastal shoreline projects, and ecosystem restoration initiatives, as well as current priorities affecting the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, Okeechobee Waterway, and other federally authorized water resource projects. The presentation also provided an opportunity for the FIND Board to discuss topics of mutual interest and continued coordination between FIND and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

For many who remember September 11, 2001, the day began with an image that remains vivid 25 years later: a brilliantly clear early fall morning and blue skies that gave no hint of what was to come. Within hours, terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon outside Washington, D.C., and the crash of a fourth hijacked airliner near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, had killed nearly 3,000 people and changed the nation.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers was among the many organizations called upon to respond.

Today we remember and reflect.

Take time to enjoy the great outdoors!!! Go for a paddle on your favorite lake, river, or pond and make sure to wear a properly fitted life jacket.

Wearing a life jacket isn’t a sign of weakness. It’s a sign of wisdom.
