ABOUT US

The Everglades Coordinating Council (ECC) is an umbrella organization for almost every sportsmen’s/conservation clubs in South Florida. Our membership is concentrated in the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) and we have enjoyed these lands/waters since the 1940’s. We have been involved with the Everglade’s restoration issues before it was popular. Our members worked to save the Everglades and create the laws to protect them from drainage and development. We worked to draw attention the Kissimmee River ditch issues and the pollution of Lake Okeechobee.
