GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE DISCUSSED:
The South Florida Water Management District, with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (known as the “Coordinating Agencies”), announces a public workshop to highlight Northern Everglades and Estuaries Protection Program (NEEPP) accomplishments and present key information from the agencies’ annual progress reports. This workshop is intended to provide transparency and accountability on NEEPP implementation and offer the public an opportunity to comment and provide input on the planning process and future reporting for the program.
During this workshop, there will be an open house session for the public to have an opportunity to discuss NEEPP-related topics of interest with the Coordinating Agencies. The Open House will be held during the first 30 minutes of the workshop (9:00-9:30 a.m.) and last 90 minutes of the workshop (11:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.) where in-person attendees will have the opportunity to view examples of successful NEEPP projects, connect with agency staff and exchange valuable information with professionals involved in NEEPP program efforts. Presentations by the Coordinating Agencies will begin at 9:30 a.m., followed by a public comment period.
One or more members of the Governing Board of the South Florida Water Management District may attend this forum. No Governing Board action will be taken.
