Issue Position: Water Quality

Issue Position

Restoring and protecting our water quality is not only paramount to our local economy but also essential to the health and well being of our residents and tourist. Mike has seen firsthand the impact of the blue-green algae crisis right here in Cape Coral and the 77th District. Not only was our tourism economy affected, so was our real estate market and property values. Mike will push to accelerate the completion of projects within the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan, such as the C-43 and the Everglades Agricultural Area reservoirs. Mike also recognizes that we must do more to reduce our own local impacts and will address pollution at the source before it enters our waterways.
