All Citizens and property owners of Marco Island need to be aware of the issues affecting our waterways. The nutrient pollution that is affecting our waters is not a new problem and the science behind it has been around for decades . Marco Island City Council and City staff need to take prompt, effective action to improve our water quality that is the lifeblood of Marco Island and so vital to our community, our businesses, our health, our lifestyle, and our home values. The time for decisive action is now before our waters are beyond saving. (See full Position Paper below.)

 Clean Marco Waters, LLC  (Clean Marco Waters) a local Marco Island citizens organization whose mission is dedicated to restoring, preserving and protecting Marco Island’s and surrounding communities’ canals, marine ecosystems and habitats through community outreach, public education, science-based research and advocacy. We concur with ERD's recommendations and believe the City should focus its efforts on the two largest contributors to excessive phosphorus and nitrogen, which are overfertilization and excess reuse water usage. Unfortunately, what might appear to be simple solutions are quite complicated from a public policy perspective. (See full Position Paper below.)
