Northwest Florida Water Management District to host public workshops for Surface Water Improvement and Management plan updates

The Northwest Florida Water Management District will host six public outreach workshops on the Surface Water Improvement and Management (SWIM) plan updates. These plans are being developed by the District to build on past and ongoing efforts to protect and restore watershed resources.  The workshops will provide an overview of watershed conditions and proposed implementation strategies and projects. The public is invited to attend these workshops to review information and to provide input as well as identify actions to address any identified challenges.

The workshops will each address one watershed in that particular area, and will be held on these dates:
