The Rivers Coalition is very fortunate to have as our guest speaker:

Mr. Marks will update the Rivers Coalition membership on the water projects underway with a focus on those in Martin County, like IRL South, C-44, etc., that will benefit the St. Lucie Estuary and Indian River Lagoon.
We will also get the opportunity to ask about progress with the SB 10-EAA Reservoir Project and the Lake Okeechobee Watershed Project as part of the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan.
Mr. Marks is a resident of Palm City and has knowledge of our local concerns.
Here is a link to Mr. Marks' information.
Get the facts! Stay informed! Be involved!
