Lake Apopka Public Input Mtg

[Capt Jeff Kraynik]

Public input being sought on Lake Apopka North Shore Land Management Plan
St. Johns River Water Management District staff have completed a draft plan that addresses management of Lake Apopka’s north shore area over the next 10 years.
Public input is being sought on the draft plan through Dec. 20, 2012. Input can be submitted by emailing JoAnna Emanuel at jemanuel@sjrwmd.com.
The Lake Apopka North Shore Land Management Plan is designed to provide a road map for the District and its partners as they proceed with restoration of the 20,000 acres of the north shore area. The plan focuses on land management activities and is not part of the lake restoration plan.
The plan addresses:
•
Water resource protection
•
Restoration activities
•
Partnerships in ecotourism and recreation
•
Land uses
The District Governing Board will consider the plan at its Jan. 8, 2013, meeting in Palatka.

Jeff,

That is interesting to see what they are doing. As a graduate student at UF in the mid-80's I did field research at Zellwin farms on the north shore of Lake Apopka. I have wondered what was going on.

I used to live a few miles away from the lake. It is a LARGE lake, easily as large as NY's largest Finger Lake. I hope they clean up the water and protect the shoreline from developers. That part of FL is a nice wintering grounds for blue bills.
