Challenges Maintaining water quality Work Groups Shellfish and Water Quality Task Force: This work group’s mission is to monitor the health of key, indicator species such as shellfish to determine causes and effects of water quality degradation. The health of the shellfish beds reflect the overall health of the estuary and through diligent research the relatively pristine nature of the Northern Coastal Basin may be preserved. Public Awareness, Involvement & Education Work Group: The Northern Coastal Basin Program brings together staff professionals from county and local government agencies, the SJRWMD and other organizations to work with citizens and volunteers on projects that will improve their environment and on issues that might impact them. Water Quality Monitoring Work Group:
The Northern Coastal Basin Program encourages viewing our
watershed as a regional issue. Working with the SJRWMD staff
and county governments water quality data is collected and
analyzed. This helps scientists collate and share data in a
useful way. Activities in one area of a multi-county watershed
will ultimately affect other areas.
