Florida has lost tens of thousands of acres of wetlands in recent decades—transforming landscapes, altering water systems, and threatening wildlife and communities alike. This webinar will explore the drivers and consequences of wetland loss in Florida, with a special focus on new data and tools that visualize this change over time, highlighting the Conservancy of Southwest Florida’s recently released wetlands mapping tool. Attendees will gain insight into how policy decisions, development trends, and mitigation practices have impacted the state’s wetlands, and how more holistic planning approaches can help protect these critical ecosystems. Speakers will include leading voices in environmental planning, advocacy, and research working to safeguard Florida’s wetlands before more are lost.
