The St. Andrew Bay Resource Management Association proposes to create a report card for
St. Andrew Bay. This report card would feature a water quality analysis of the bay similar to
those completed for Chesapeake Bay. Information would be distributed to community leaders
and it would be placed online for the public to see. Information would also be disseminated to
officials from the NWFWMD, FDEP, FWCC, NOAA, USACE, and USFWS.

Good water quality is essential to our livelihood. Not only does this support our local fishermen,
but it supports real estate and tourism. Property values are higher in areas where good water
quality exists. If a water body is degraded, then we can focus on that area for restoration.

wildlife habitats, beaches, and coastal wetlands of the Gulf Coast region

Implementation of a federally approved marine, coastal, or comprehensive conservation

Good water quality is essential to fisheries, recreational activities, and property values. By
tracking how water quality changes over time, RMA will be able to identify areas in the bay
where water quality has improved and where it has degraded. This information is necessary for
proper management.
Tourists are attracted to this area because of our beautiful beaches and bay. St. Andrew Bay
boasts some of the best shallow water fishing in the area; guides from Destin come here to fish
the flats for redfish and sea trout. Tourists and residents rent boats and jet skis to explore the
bay.
The St. Andrew Bay Resource Management Association is the only entity in this area that has
been monitoring the water quality in St. Andrew Bay since 1990. Therefore, RMA is the only
entity that already has the continuous data set that can be used for long-term water quality
comparisons.
