About me
Holly Andreotta has over 20 years of experience overseeing permitting and compliance for multiple large-scale Everglades restoration projects at the South Florida Water Management District with an emphasis on managing, protecting, surveying, and monitoring of protected state and federal species. She is a Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Florida burrowing owl, gopher tortoise, and Imperiled Beach-Nesting Bird permitted agent and a qualified observer for an array of protected species found throughout Florida. She coordinates with regulatory agencies, the public, and multiple stakeholders to ensure the District’s restoration, flood protection, water supply, and land management goals are met.
Holly leads the effort in developing a long-term, comprehensive, District-wide ESA compliance strategy given the District's unique operational parameters, constraints, and objectives of land and water management across Central and South Florida through a Programmatic Habitat Conservation Plan.
What she likes most about her job is her time in the field, on Everglades restoration construction projects and monitoring for wildlife, but also being able to collaborate with multiple internal and external stakeholders to accomplish restoration goals.
