• Chapters 3, 4, 5A, 5B, 5C, 6, and 7 and associated
appendices provide an update on Everglades progress.
• Chapters 8A, 8B, 8C, and 8D provide the Northern
Everglades and Estuaries Protection Program annual
progress report.
Volume II provides an annual update on the project
status during Fiscal Year 2022 and planning for Fiscal
Year 2023 for 10 annual reports required of all water
management districts.
Volume III of the 2023 SFER provides an annual update
on environmental restoration projects to comply with
permits issued by DEP. Currently, annual updates are
provided for five projects under construction, 19 projects
operating, and two projects operating that also had a
phase or component under construction during the
water year.

Abstract: The state of Florida is renowned for its globally recognized biodiversity richness, but it
currently suffers from an ongoing population boom and corresponding urban sprawl resulting in the
emergence of severe conservation conflicts, especially in southern parts of Florida. To mitigate the
intense competing land use situation and comprehend the dynamic complex relationship between
conservation and development, this study argues that both ecological and social dimensions should
be taken into account for spatial analysis and underpin zoning decisions empirically in the phase of
landscape planning. Choosing South Florida as the study site, we implemented focal-species-based
spatial conservation prioritization analysis using Zonation software to identify the highest priority
areas and accordingly evaluate two varying land use scenarios provided by the Florida 2070 Project.
From a novel perspective of impact avoidance, the inverse prioritization method was applied in this
study, intended to minimize negative human impacts and examine the effectiveness and suitability of
Florida’s future land use projections. After comparing and integrating social-ecological data through
mapping, the study uncovered a holistic view of conservation conflicts in Florida and articulated
trade-offs for all parties of the local ecosystem striving to reconcile human–wildlife conflicts in Florida
