Lee County Extension
Sea Grant Program


Lee County, located in Southwest Florida, is a great place to live. Much of its allure comes from the surrounding estuarine and marine environment. Lee County beaches extend 50 miles, with over 100 coastal islands and it has 283 square miles of inland waterways and many offshore artificial reefs. This environment is under increasing pressure from land use changes related to population growth, stormwater runoff, declining water quality and conflicting use issues. With these pressures come challenges and with these challenges come opportunities. This is where Sea Grant comes in.

Florida Sea Grant's mission is to enhance the practical use and conservation of the state's coastal and marine resources to create a sustainable economy and environment.
