With the growing recognition that Tampa Bay is not alone in facing the cumulative challenges of climate change and rapid population growth, the Agency has voted to expand its borders north to Hernando County and south to Sarasota.
The changes include a new name, the Agency on Bay and Coastal Management (ABCM), along with multiple organizational changes that will impact the way meetings are run.
The expansion now includes Hernando and Citrus counties and the Sarasota Bay Estuary Program, as well as many of the beaches that border the Gulf of Mexico.
The ABCM will keep bringing together scientists, governmental and industrial representatives, and environmentalists to share information and work to develop a united voice advocating for the health of the region’s bays and coastal areas.
