Matlacha Pass Water Quality with Capt. Codty Pierce

Thank you Capt. Codty Pierce for taking the time to share what you have been seeing out on the water. Learn about Matlacha Pass water quality and other local waterways from this charter fishing captain and lifetime resident.

Matlacha Pass is a State Aquatic Persevere and designated an Outstanding Florida Water (OFW). However, these extra protections have not spared it from being verified impaired for nutrients, fecal bacteria in shellfish, and more.

At Calusa Waterkeeper, we believe prioritized testing is critical to getting quick, uncompromised results and is a pathway to guiding state and local policy changes, enforcement and accountability.
