Quick context to catch up fast.
The committee voted 4-2 to invite a vendor proposing "muck-eating bacteria" for Marco Island's canal system, but only after the vendor confirms that the appropriate regulatory bodies allow and deem it safe to dispense the material in salt water canals. The committee also ranked Navigation, Water Quality, and Marine Construction as its top three future priorities.

Residents should not expect a vendor presentation on the bacteria proposal until required regulatory confirmation is provided. The committee assigned work on an inlet management plan for Big Marco Pass and a white paper on derelict vessels, while city staff reported that recent seven-month water-quality readings for Total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorous were below threshold levels. The committee expects to continue defining water-quality actions at its next meeting.
