Bigmouth Sleeper, I see that the article has been changed from a redirect page to an article, but this appears to be duplicative of content in two other places - and also seems to be a copy of information.
The fact that it is described in detail on two separate articles is what prompted the creation of this stand alone article. It is notable as a federally named place that has a place in Florida's history and seems to be ecologically significant not just to the Everglades, but the Lake Okeechobee. There is enough content available to have this be a stand alone article; I just have not devoted any time to developing it. There are also several redlinks in this article that could be fleshed out to contribute to Wikipedia's description of the canals and infrastructure of the swampy parts of Florida. Peace,

This page should not be speedily deleted because... it describes an ecologically significant 1000 square mile area of Florida that is reserved by the federal government for environmental protection.
[1] The EAA "profoundly" affects
Lake Okeechobee and "fundamentally important to a sustainable
Everglades ecosystem"
[2] the 700,000 acre EAA is the size of Jacksonville, Florida.

Sorry, I got pulled in another direction today. Everglades restoration is barely represented on Wikipedia. The EAA should absolutely have its own page. --previously unsigned15:46, 1 December 2016
