•           Using innovative practices to improve water quality, reduce nutrient loading, and prevent harmful algal blooms;

•           Connections between the environment and human health, including but not limited to, air quality and respiratory conditions, tick prevalence and Lyme disease, scrap tires, and mosquitoes; and
