FPL has established the Florida Everglades Mitigation Bank, where nearly 13,500 acres of wetlands are being returned to their natural, historical condition. This area is home to more than 38 species of wildlife, including 12 endangered and nine threatened species. Many years ago, FPL purchased this land and zoned the site for future power plant expansion. We believe that preserving this site as a mitigation bank will best serve Florida citizens and our company goals because of the ecological value of the site.
