Researchers harness high resolution data from satellite and drone imaging to help manage Florida's water quality.

Report from the Water Resources Journalism Intensive in partnership with UF/IFAS, UF Water Institute, UF Thompson Earth Systems Institute and Florida Sea Grant.

By 2021, Florida will have the most capacity for solar energy in the entire Southeast, according to a report by the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy.

This announcement comes as some Florida utilities continue to move away from fossil fuels in favor of cleaner energy.

With much of the world’s coral reefs dying off due to environmental stress, researchers from Florida International University investigate whether a more heat-tolerant symbiotic species of algae can help make Florida's reefs more resilient.

Algae blooms that occur in nutrient rich waters can create a low oxygen environment, referred to as a dead zone.

When the Northern Gulf of Mexico dead zone did not reach its record-setting prediction, scientists worried that the smaller measurement could be misleading.

Invasive species, a top driver of biodiversity loss, threaten native species, residents and pets.

Menacing pythons warrant a new approach, leading researchers to develop a specialized camera to help identify and remove these unrelenting reptiles.

Following environmental news can get exhausting. At TESI, we also like to celebrate good news. In July 2020, we highlighted:

• a program for pollinators
• a roadmap for electric vehicles
• a replanting campaign for rare longleaf pine
• a recovery and release of a rare sea turtle hybrid
