CBCC has received a $300,000 multi-year grant from the US EPA to fund implementation of the pilot Coral Bay Watershed Management Plan – including hiring a stormwater engineer to assist residents in choosing appropriate stormwater mitigation and control methods. This will protect the marine life in Coral Bay from damage from sedimentation and runoff of pollutants. Other environmental quality objectives will also be pursued under this grant with community participation and partnership with many government agencies and researchers.

Alan Steinberg, EPA Region Two Administrator presents the grant to CBCC.
