🚨 Make Your Voice Heard For Clean Water

‌

Have you emailed the Army Corps about the final phase of the new Lake Okeechobee management plan yet?

The Army Corps is now in the final phase of developing the new Lake Okeechobee System Operating Manual (LOSOM), which will determine lake releases for the next decade.

In the previous phase of the plan's development, you all sent over 9,000 emails to the Corps demanding a more equitable plan—that's amazing! Now, however, we have a new opportunity to be a part of the process and take action for the future of our waters.

This new window to provide feedback to the Corps just opened on Aug. 16th, but it's unclear exactly how much longer the Corps will keep it open. So, we need you to step up again today, even if you already did so in the previous call to action!

Please follow the link below and take just one minute to learn more about the current opportunity and why we need you to use your voice again to reduce future damage to our waters. Use the pre-written email below to make your voice heard today.

And as we near completion of the new Lake O management plan (LOSOM) that could significantly reduce those discharges and improve flows south, it's more important than ever that we refuse to accept any further delays to other major restoration projects—like the EAA Reservoir—that can help restore balance back to the system.
