Cela Tega is the Calusa term for "a view from high ground." It is used here to symbolize an overview of SWFL's water quality issues.

We have long been aware of the problems of excess nutrients in our waters. The red tide and cyanobacteria blooms of 2018 brought the issue to the forefront of our collective minds. Our beaches were littered with dead sea life; our rivers were full of a blue-green algae bloom. 

The economic vitality of the region is based on a healthy environment for visitors and residents alike: the need to address these problems has never been more immediate. 

Attendees will hear from experts in science, policy, and civic engagement. Our goal is to help residents obtain the knowledge, information, and skills to be a positive influence in addressing these issues. CHNEP is sponsoring this event and will be presenting on our important work.

Registration is FREE and REQUIRED.
