Enlightenment of Everglade Wetland Restoration in Florida, USA to Chinese Dongting Lake Restoration

Abstract:

Under the guidance of the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP), this paper introduces successful experience of the Everglade wetland restoration in Florida including the ideas, the methods and the measures, in order to provide some enlightenment for the wetland ecosystems restoration and protection in Dongting Lake. Then this article analyzes the pollution characteristics and treatment status of Dongting Lake, and points out the main problems of restoration construction. Taken the development of Dongting Lake into consideration, some suggestion is provided: set definite aim and planning; strengthen multilateral cooperation and investment in science and technology; pay attention to public participation and the human-water harmony.
