Featured Speaker: Nora Egan Demers, PhD, Associate Professor of Biology at Florida Gulf Coast University

Dr. Demers will talk briefly about the lawsuit and settlement agreement between the state of Florida and the Responsible Growth Management Coalition that resulted in the creation of the Estero Bay Agency on Bay Management (EBABM).  She will describe her participation with the EBABM from 2002-2021.  Highlights will include how the role and actions of the agency have changed and envisioning of future evolution for that agency.  The focus of her talk, and of the ABM is on the Estero Bay Watershed also known as the Density Reduction/Groundwater Resource area.  Recent growth management issues to be discussed include an outsider’s view of the Lee County environmental enhancement and preservation overlay and the Kiker Preserve.
