Choctawhatchee River and Bay SWIM Plan Update

The Surface Water Improvement and Management (SWIM) Plan for the Choctawhatchee River and Bay watershed was approved in 1996 as a framework within which the District would work with local governments, state and federal agencies, and private initiatives to address major issues affecting the watershed. The plan identified priority issues and provided strategies and actions to protect and restore watershed resources and functions. Since 1996, cooperative efforts have been pursued by a number of organizations, and progress has been made on project implementation.

This plan update was developed to document implementation progress, describe changes in the watershed, and identify future activities and funding requirements. Implementation will help support for a continued cooperative effort to protect and restore watershed resources and the benefits they provide for the surrounding community.
