Environmental Protection to protect recreation and a healthy-well-balanced population of fish and wildlife. DEP had <br /> previously determined that the nitrogen management approach developed by TBEP and the Tampa Bay Nitrogen <br /> Management Consortium would address state water quality targets. <br /> Tampa Bay now has more seagrass than at any time since 1950 <br /> By implementing a variety of pollution-control projects, the Nitrogen Management Consortium--a partnership of local and <br /> state agencies and key industries impacting the bay--has reduced nitrogen loads to the bay by more than 100 tons from <br /> 2007-2011, and more than 500 tons since 1996. <br /> This cooperative approach has resulted in overall water clarity in Tampa Bay equal to that of the 1950s, as well as more <br /> seagrasses than at any time since then. <br /> Cris Costello <br /> Regional Organizing Representative <br /> Sierra Club <br /> 2815 Proctor Road <br /> Sarasota, FL 34231-6443 <br /> Office: 941-922-2900 <br /> Cell: 941-914-0421 <br /> cris.costeltogsierraclub.org <br /> http://www.facebook.com/FloridaSlimeCrimes <br /> Florida"Slime Crime Tracker": http://goo.gl/maps/uJEE <br /> 2 <br /> 595- S2 <br />
