The restoration and enhancement of the South Florida foraging habitat is important to the overall recovery of the wood stork population and the reversal of the decreasing nesting trends in South Florida.
For example, many of the foraging grounds utilized by storks breeding at the Corkscrew colony in South Florida are in private ownership and are threatened by conversion to citrus farming; the future success of this colony is dependent on maintaining viable foraging habitat within the region.
