The Southwest Florida Water Management District (District), in cooperation with Hillsborough County, will hold a dedication event to celebrate the completion of the Rock Ponds Ecosystem Restoration Project.
This is the largest coastal habitat restoration project ever done in the history of Tampa Bay, with approximately 1,043 acres of uplands and wetlands. This project will help offset habitat losses suffered throughout Tampa Bay and will prove valuable for the public and thousands of coastal species that use the Tampa Bay ecosystem.
The event will take place on Wednesday, April 13 at 10 a.m. at the project site in Hillsborough County, located 4480 County Line Road in Ruskin.
Tours will be available along with the opportunity to speak to District scientists who led the project. All activities will take place outside so please wear appropriate shoes and attire.
