The Estero Council of Community Leaders (ECCL) is holding a town-hall style Public Forum on Greater Estero Water Quality and Environment Actions and Solutions at The Water School at FGCU on Thursday, October 13, 2022, starting at 5 p.m.

The forum features four local experts on water and environmental issues facing Southwest Florida and the Greater Estero area.

The evening will also include tours of The Water School, a state-of-the-art research and education facility devoted to advancing our understanding of water threats like algal blooms and sea-level change and developing tools and solutions to these problems. Tours begin at 5 p.m. and end at 5:45 p.m. The forum commences at 6 p.m.
