Watersheds

Wetlands mitigation is planned and implemented at the watershed scale

Mitigation within the Northwest Florida Water Management District is organized by the seven major watersheds of the Florida Panhandle.  These are the Perdido River and Bay watershed, the Pensacola Bay System (including the Escambia, Blackwater, Yellow and Shoal rivers), the Choctawhatchee River and Bay watershed, the St. Andrew Bay watershed, the Apalachicola River and Bay watershed, the Ochlockonee River and Bay watershed, and the St. Marks / Apalachee Bay watershed.
