Clean Water Network Florida

Updates

Comment Letter added to Water Quality Standards: 12/10/10

By  Linda Young

The Clean Water Network of FL is working with its partners across the state to get sustainable safeguards for Florida’s estuaries. From Perdido Bay in the western Panhandle, all down the Gulf Coast to the Florida Keys, up the east Coast to the Florida/Georgia line, Florida has important estuaries that serve many important functions. They are nurseries for offshore fisheries, they provide habitat for shellfish, they have unlimited recreational value (swimming, boating, fishing, bird-watching, etc). These waters are often the receiving waters from rivers, lakes and streams. Their vast marshes try to filter the pollution that we allow to flow into these important waters, but we have been careless and if our estuaries will continue to thrive, we must do a better job of protecting them. Follow our efforts inside this website. Click on Issues > Water Quality Standards > Criteria and Alternative Criteria and read our latest comments to the state and federal agencies that are responsible for setting pollution limits.
