The Caloosahatchee flows from near Lake Okeechobee for to its outlet at
Fort Myers on the southwest Gulf coast of Florida. Eighty miles long and
only a stone's throw across in some places, Florida's Caloosahatchee
River once played an essential part in the transport of cattle, fruit,
and other goods between Lake Okeechobee and Punta Rassa. Now the river,
which has been dredged, deepened, and "improved" for decades, is the key
to efforts to restore the Everglades to its natural beauty and balance.
