This is a pivotal time for the Myakka River. The pending Partnership Wild and Scenic designation’s national spotlight, as well as the charge to protect and enhance Myakka’s water quality, free-flowing character, and outstandingly remarkable scenic, ecological, fish/wildlife and recreational values, comes at a critical time: With increasing threats from rapidly encroaching development, decisions and actions over the next few years, even months, will positively or negatively shape the river and its watershed for generations.
Now more than ever, there is a need for an independent voice for the river, and comprehensive work specifically focused on protecting and enhancing this important waterway's water quality, free-flowing nature and outstanding values.
Myakka River Partnership will support the Myakka River and its watershed through outreach and education, stewardship and coordination.
