| Summary: | The Suwannee River Partnership (http://www.suwannee.org) was formed in 1999 to determine the sources of nutrient loads in the river basin, and to work with local land users to minimize future nutrient loading through voluntary, incentive-based programs. Agriculture and forestry are the dominant land uses in the watershed. While the environmental impact of forestry is usually low, intensive agricultural production has the potential to affect water quality if nutrients and water are not carefully managed.
