EVERGLADES LOSES JOHNSON: The 12/23 Miami Herald reported the departure
of Craig Johnson of US Fish and Wildlife, who resigned last week under
fire as supervisor of the FWS Everglades ecosystem office. Johnson and
colleagues working on the restoration of the Everglades ecosystem wrote
to the Army Corps of Engineers in October that restoration planning was
focusing too much on providing flood protection and water supplies for
farms and cities at the expense of reviving damaged natural resources.
"I learned from the start that I had a choice: To be externally
focused and do right by the resource or make people within the agency
happy," said Johnson. "I chose the resource."
