The Surface Water Improvement and Management (SWIM) Plan for the St. Marks River watershed was approved in 1997 as a framework for the District to work with local governments, state and federal agencies, and private initiatives to address major issues affecting the watershed. The plan identified strategies and actions to protect and restore watershed resources. Since 1997, substantial progress has been made in further defining watershed issues and completing projects.
The 2009 SWIM plan update reports on progress to date, documents changes in the watershed, describes ongoing watershed protection and restoration efforts, identifies new strategies for basin-wide management and potential funding sources. A continued cooperative effort is needed to protect and restore watershed resources and the benefits they provide for the human community.
