Learn about our water

1 min read

To the editor:

Many of you may have heard of the Florida Right to Clean Water petition movement and wondered if it is necessary. Our waters don’t look too bad, there’s no red tide or blue-green algae right now, lots of money is being allotted to our waters, so why all the fuss?

One way to understand the condition of our local waters and how this affects our health, economy and future would be to attend the Calusa Waterkeeper’s “Save Our Water” luncheon/panel discussion on March 27 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Broadway Palm Dinner Theatre in Fort Myers. A variety of unparalleled experts will be speaking about solutions and challenges to our water quality, and you can decide for yourself if our waters are in crisis.

For more information and to register, visit https://calusawaterkeeper.org/saveourwater/.

After attending you may wish to also support the Florida Right to Clean Water petition movement. Go to https://bit.ly/FRTCW-petition to print out a pre-filled petition that just needs your signature and mailing.

Please don’t miss this wonderful opportunity to learn about our waters and also find out how you can help.
