The Water Quality Team is responsible for generating action towards annually identified regional water quality priorities through technical discussion and process development. The Team works closely with Florida's Coral Reef Coordination Team, the principal advisory body on coral reef issues to the Everglades Restoration framework, to better understand the linkages between Everglades water quality improvement projects and downstream coral reef health.
The team is led by:
Kylie Morgan (DEP)
Elizabeth Kelly (Martin County)
Where we are today
Where we are today
The Water Quality Team is the newest FCRRP working group. Formed in early 2024, the group has been focused on developing internal goals and processes, recruiting membership, and building a common information base for all members to operate from. The Team is also developing and sharing recommendations to regional water quality initiatives based on analyses of their plans and frameworks.
At present, Water Quality Team membership includes participants from DEP CPR, DEP CRCP, FWC FWRI, NOAA CRCP, NOAA FKNMS, NSU, and Broward, Martin, Miami, and Palm Beach counties.
More information on Team activities coming soon!
