The
Northwest Florida Water Management District will host a public
workshop in Apalachicola on Wednesday to discuss updating the Surface
Water Improvement and Management plan for the Apalachicola River and
Bay.
The
SWIM program has been in effect since the late 1980's.
The
program develops plans for at-risk water bodies, and directs the work
needed to restore damaged ecosystems, to prevent pollution from
stormwater runoff and other sources, and to educate the public.
SWIM
plans are also used to help make land-buying decisions, and by local
governments to help make land-use management decisions.
Wednesday's
meeting will feature presentations about current challenges, proposed
plan objectives, and project options.
The
public will also have an opportunity to submit comments and
recommendations that will be used in the development of the plan.
If
you would like to attend, the workshop will be held on Wednesday
afternoon at 2 at the Apalachicola Community Center at Battery Park.
