NAPLES BAY RESTORATION EARNS NATIONAL RECOGNITION

The Naples Bay Restoration and Water Quality Improvements at the Cove Project in Florida has received the Envision Silver award for sustainable infrastructure, designated by the Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure. To reach silver status, a project must demonstrate that it delivers a heightened range of environmental, social, and economic benefits to the host and affected communities.

What began as a predominantly engineering issue dealing with sediment and its environmental impact, grew into an opportunity to provide a more comprehensive water quality enhancement for Naples Bay that also provides an interactive and aesthetically improved experience for Naples residents and guests, a press release states. The goals of this project were to restore and enhance the ecosystem and habitat, protect the environment and connect the public with Naples Bay. The city of Naples worked in close collaboration with Stantec to deliver the award-winning sustainable project.

Naples Bay and its contributing watershed have been dramatically altered by development over time. Associated with various water management projects, the watershed of Naples Bay has expanded from approximately 10 square miles in size to its current 160 square miles.
