The Everglades Foundation will host the America’s Everglades Summit in Washington, D.C. on June 10, 2025. The event will bring together Everglades supporters, key stakeholders, dignitaries, and decision makers.
In recognition of 25 years of the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP), the Summit will explore the economic and national importance of America's Everglades.
In addition to the environmental and lifestyle enhancements from restoration, our economists have identified 80,000 businesses dependent on Everglades restoration. When we account for business-to-business interactions and the spending of this labor force, this Clean Water Economy employs almost 2.9 million Floridians, with an annual combined economic contribution of over $300 billion to GDP. This figure does not include the value of real estate, which is valued at between $1.7 to $2 trillion, nor of real estate rentals, which generate an additional $100 - $125 billion each year. This Clean Water Economy is driven by industries like real estate, tourism, and outdoor recreation.
A Summit dinner will conclude the day with a tribute to CERP, keynote remarks and a renewed commitment to completing critical Everglades restoration projects.
