Title: Florida’s Water: Exploring Our Aquatic Heritage and Future

Description:

WATER. The Florida “way of life” depends on it - economically, ecologically, and for quality of life. Water is the connector of Florida’s unique and productive ecosystems and of the residents and visitors who benefit from the Florida environment. All that we do on land affects our waters - from uplands to freshwater wetlands, streams, rivers, lakes, aquifers, springs to brackish rivers, tidal creeks, coastal marsh, mangrove forests, estuaries, coral reefs and offshore environments. Despite significant investments in improving water quality and hydrology, many of our freshwater habitats and estuary habitats continue to decline. So, what can we do? Join us to explore opportunities to harness the benefits of innovative approaches while maximizing solutions to improve the condition and function of this valuable resource, in addition to discussing the challenges that must be overcome.



Speaker: Leslie Craig
