ADVOCATING
EDUCATING
CCWK advocates for clean water by insisting that all governing entities, including Federal, State, County & City governments enforce our environmental laws.
CCWK educates the public as to the condition of our waterways and how we can all contribute to reducing pollution within all waterbodies.
The current problem: water bodies worldwide are experiencing some form of pollution. In Collier County, as in the entire State of Florida, the problem with nutrient pollution has risen to the level of concern that is now centered on public health due to exposure to blue-green algae and red tide blooms.
Collier County is globally known for its extraordinary number of pristine waterways. Our major water landmarks include Rookery Bay, Gordon River, Naples Bay, Wiggins and Gordon Pass, Big Cypress, Marco Island, Keewaydin Island, and 10,000 Islands. These waterways are home to some of the most diverse ecosystems in the state of Florida.
