South Seas Resort Mangrove Restoration:

The summer of 2004 and 2005 will be long remembered in Florida because of Charley, Frances, Ivan, Jeanne, Katrina and Wilma. The South Seas Resort on the north end of Captiva Island experienced 145 mile winds and higher gusts from Hurricane Charley. The majority of mangrove wetlands on South Seas property suffered significant damage. KLECE is working with the resort to restore the quality and function of this valuable Florida habitat.

Wetlands International is a leading non-profit organization dedicated solely to the crucial work of wetland conservation and sustainable management.
