Harmful algal blooms (HABs) refer to the rapid growth of algae that can cause harm to animals, people, or the local ecology through toxins.

This area is undergoing restoration to provide a more natural and accessible habitat for manatees and other species.

The City, with its public and private partners, will advance the Tiki Point Harborwalk living shoreline project from conceptual design to construction.

The results of this study provide a better understanding of the economic activity tied to restoration, conservation and management activities in the CHNEP area.

The CHNEP Water Atlas is a web-based resource center providing real-time water data and info.

CHNEP expanded the program area to include the freshwater upstream portions of the Caloosahatchee River basin in the designated counties.

CHNEP provided funding for the development of a science based, data-driven integrated surface/ground water hydrologic model.

CHNEP provided funding to remove invasive vegetation and to plant native vegetation in this area.

CHNEP is funding a project to test the use of open-cell foam technology known as AquaFlex to absorb and remove excess nutrients along with Cyanobacteria.

Excessive macroalgae blooms can have harmful effects on Florida's ecosystems and economy.

Dredging has caused this habitat to lose the majority of its historic oyster reefs and seagrass beds also known as submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV).
