Backyard Habitats in the Inland Bays Watershed
The loss of native habitat in the Inland Bays watershed, and excess nutrients going into our Bays are the two major issues that challenge our efforts to restore and protect the Inland Bays. Creating Backyard Habitats is a way that citizens can help us work for ‘fishable, swimmable Bays.”
