Based in St. Petersburg, Florida, the organization operates with a regional mission to sustain both the ecological integrity and economic importance of the estuary, acting as a coordinating body among local governments, stakeholders, and researchers. The program engages in collaborative efforts to monitor conditions, implement restoration projects, and advance resilience in the estuary, reflecting its role within the broader environmental services landscape.
