The Boca Ciega Bay and Pinellas County aquatic preserves (referred to collectively as the Pinellas County Aquatic Preserves) were designated in 1969 and 1972, respectively.
Boca Ciega Bay was designated as an aquatic preserve to aid in halting the wholesale dredging and filling of the bay that occurred with the finger fill developments of the 1950s. Pinellas County Aquatic Preserve was designated to help prevent the events in Boca Ciega Bay from being repeated elsewhere.
Coordination is a critical part of the Resilient Florida Program. Among other activities, the program hosts a quarterly webinar forum that allows attendees from all over the state to hear what their counterparts are working on.
Participants provide project updates, introduce new resources and, most importantly, engage with each other asking for advice and recommendations.
Audience members include consultants as well as staff from city, county, state and federal government entitles, universities and nongovernmental organizations.
