ST. AUGUSTINE – The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP)
Office of Coastal and Aquatic Managed Areas (CAMA) will hold a public meeting to
discuss the South Atlantic Alliance Draft Action Plan on Wednesday, October 27
from 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. in Ponte Vedra Beach.
The South Atlantic Alliance is a voluntary partnership established by the
Governors of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida. The mission of
the South Atlantic Alliance is to significantly increase regional collaboration
among South Atlantic states, with federal agency partners and other
stakeholders. The goal is to sustain and enhance environmental (coastal/
marine), natural resource, economic, public safety, social, and national defense
missions of the respective states and the South Atlantic region.
The South Atlantic Alliance has developed a draft Action Plan that identifies
specific goals, objectives and actions within four priority issue areas: Healthy
Ecosystems, Working Waterfronts, Clean Coastal and Ocean Waters and Disaster
Resilient Communities. For more information about the South Atlantic Alliance
please visit

available online at:

Public Meetings are being held at two locations in Florida on October 27 in
Ponte Vedra Beach and November 4 in Jupiter to inform and solicit comments on
the draft Action Plan. Comments will also be accepted on-line at
