School Presentations
The Brevard County Watershed Management Program offers presentations, "Protecting Our Water Resources", interactive sessions designed to educate students in kindergarten through ninth grade to understand the definition of water pollution while using principles of science and mathematics. Activities in the presentation focus on four main types of stormwater pollutants: sediments, nutrients, bacteria and toxins.
