That is the reason we held a water quality workshop Monday. More than 100 tourism workers went to two different workshops, which included neighborhood and range masters.
The objective of the presentation was to teach the staff on the bleeding edges and offer assets to help them answer addresses about our water quality. The Lee County Visitor & Convention Bureau (VCB) arranged a rundown of reality sheets that clarify the contrast between ride tide and dried float green growth and other seaside scrapes.
