Managing Stormwater to Reduce Coastal Pollution
The Florida House in Sarasota, recently acquired by Southface, is sponsoring this expert panel to discuss and very timely and important topic. Stormwater management and water quality are important to the economic and environmental health of cities like Sarasota, Florida. Rainwater must be intercepted or purified by engineered or ecological systems to avoid transporting nutrients that would contaminate beachfronts, impair fishing and foster red tide. Join Southface on January 8 to hear a panel of experts from the greater Sarasota area and the national stage describe the benefits of a comprehensive approach to stormwater management as an example for coastal cities worldwide.
