The Biscayne Bay Marine Health Coalition (BBMHC) organized this webinar for Stormwater and Public Works professionals to share about their work to keep trash, pollution and nutrients out of Biscayne Bay, Florida. Questions addressed: - What are the regulatory requirements to prevent trash, pollution and nutrients from entering the Bay? - What is the correlation between natural debris (e.g. leaves and grass) and nutrient pollution? - How are local Public Works departments minimizing stormwater pollution? - What are the most cost-efficient ways to collect stormwater runoff?
