The Official Website of Escambia County, Florida

Thank you for participating in the Escambia County Marine Resources Division's waterways management survey! Your survey responses will help facilitate a discussion at the upcoming Waterways Management Workshop, held on Nov. 14, 2022 at 5:30 p.m. at the Central Office Complex, 3363 W. Park Place, room 104.

Managing the saltwater, freshwater and estuarine waterways in Escambia County requires a collaborative effort.

By completing the survey, Marine Resources staff will be able to better identify the items and issues of greatest concern and prioritize action plans.
