In recognition of the magnitude of the Everglades restoration effort and the critical importance of partnerships with federal, state, Tribal, and local governments, the intergovernmental South Florida Ecosystem Restoration Task Force (Task Force) was established by Congress in 1996. The Task Force brings together all the agencies involved in restoring and protecting America’s Everglades. The Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) of 1996 delineates the role and responsibilities of the Task Force. WRDA 2020 added specific duties regarding invasive exotic species and WRDA 2022 expanded the Task Force membership to include one additional State of Florida representative.
