Conservation Ecology: The managed recession of Lake Okeechobee, Florida: integrating science and natural resource ... This paper discusses the management decision to lower water levels in Lake Okeechobee, and includes the scientific basis behind the decision, the process by which the decision was made, and the implications and outcomes associated with the decision.

Last check: 2007-10-22) Lake Okeechobee is a large and shallow freshwater body in south Florida.
