Fort Myers clears invasive species from Billy's Creek filter marsh
Original: Fort Myers removes invasive species from marsh meant to filter pollutants from Billy's Creek
The city of Fort Myers has removed invasive plant species from a marsh along Billy's Creek that was designed to filter pollutants before water flows into the creek. The cleanup restores the marsh's ability to improve water quality in an urban waterway that has long faced pollution problems, according to local reporting by WGCU.
Why now: Ongoing local concern over water quality and pollution in Billy's Creek and the Caloosahatchee watershed.
