Water Quality Summit Set for June 5th
Sarasota County will host a free and open to the public Water Quality Summit from 1-6:30 p.m. Wednesday, June 5. The summit, which will be in the Riverview High School auditorium, 1 Ram Way, Sarasota, is an effort to bring the community together with organizations working to protect area watersheds and to learn about science and actions occurring locally.
The summit’s goal is to enhance the community’s understanding of local and state efforts to address water quality issues. The summit will focus on the science of water quality and current local and state government programs and policies. It will also address ways the community can make a difference with suggestions for individuals, business and neighborhoods.
“Water quality is a priority issue both locally and across the state,” said Lee-Hayes Byron, director of Sarasota County UF/IFAS Extension and Sustainability. “We look forward to this opportunity for discussion with our residents and business who care so deeply about our local waters.”
Seating is limited and registration is required. For additional details about the summit and to register, visit scgov.net/waterqualitysummt or call the Sarasota County Contact Center at 941-861-5000.
