The effort to restore Florida's Everglades has been revived thanks to the efforts of President Obama and Florida's Republican governor, Charlie Crist. The Obama administration has committed more than $300 million in new money, and construction on important projects - including lifting a section of the Tamiami Trail to bring freshwater to the Everglades - is under way.
