2-1: Santa Rosa Sound Water Quality Improvement Program - Monitoring

Santa Rosa County is requesting $856,243 in Council-selected Restoration Component funding for the Council-approved Santa Rosa Sound Water Quality Improvement Program. This component aims to establish a water quality monitoring program that collects, interprets, and makes available data about water quality characteristics from nine stations in and around Santa Rosa Sound, Santa Rosa County, FL over a period of 5 years.

Santa Rosa County will execute a subrecipient agreement with UWF to conduct components of the planned scope of work. Developing strategies to make data available will provide baseline pre-construction and post-construction data that informs the observational data plan and reporting for Project 2-1 Santa Rosa Sound Water Quality Improvements included in the Restore Spill Component SEP for Santa Rosa County.

Consolidated data will be made accessible to city, state, and federal resource managers, as well as the public, through a web-based geographic information system application. The project duration is expected to be 5 years.
