Support Outstanding Florida Waters in Broward County Florida
- Target: State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection
- Sponsored by: Cry of the Water www.cryofthewater.org
This area contains the most diverse and highest coral cover habitat including Threatened Staghorn coral (Acropora cervicornis) as well as all documented Elkhorn corals (Acropora palmata) in Broward County but has yet to receive any protection or management from sedimentation or direct land-based sources of pollution. This unique area contains the best coral reefs in the continental U. S. that are within swimming distance of the beach leaving them highly susceptible to urban run-off and pollution discharges.
Threatened and Endangered Sea Turtles use this near shore area as important foraging grounds and access to the beach for nesting. Our coastal resources are under extreme pressure from urban development, loss of important habitat, water quality degradation and other human activities.
Sign this petition to support the designation of the nearshore coral reefs in Ft. Lauderdale/Lauderdale-By-The-Sea/Pompano Beach as Outstanding Florida Waters for water quality protection.
