• Vol. I: http://www.charlotteharbornep.com/CCMP/Volume%201.pdf 
• Vol. II: http://www.charlotteharbornep.com/CCMP/Volume%202.pdf

(Volume I is the main part of the management plan.  The management plan has goals, quantifiable objectives, and priority actions.  These priority actions are the specific strategies for achieving the goals and quantifiable objectives for each of the three priority problems: hydrologic alterations, water quality degradation, and fish and wildlife habitat loss.

Volume II describes each preliminary implementation project, as provided by its sponsoring organization.  The projects in Volume 2 are organized first by the basin where the project is located, and then by sponsoring organization.  The basins include (1) Regionwide; (2) Caloosahatchee River and Watershed; (3) Lower Peace and Myakka Rivers; and (4) Upper Peace and Myakka Rivers.  To assist the reader in finding the page number for a particular project, several indexes of the projects are provided in Volume 2.  Also, an extensive list of acronyms is provided in both volumes of this document.)

(The purpose of the base programs analysis is to recognize the current public and private environmental regulatory programs, provide an assessment of the overall programs that are in place, and identify the gaps in the existing institutional framework for resource management.  Provides a snapshot of the Charlotte Harbor National Estuary Program's socioeconomic conditions.  It reviews the current institutional management of the natural resources in the greater Charlotte Harbor watershed.  This analysis is performed within an outline of the three major priority problems: hydrologic alterations; water quality degradation; and fish and wildlife habitat loss.)

(This report describes monitoring programs for the Charlotte Harbor National Estuary Program study area.(including the Myakka River).The objectives of this report are to: 1) identify and describe all existing land, air, terrestrial and aquatic wildlife and vegetation, and water monitoring programs that pertain to the study area; 2) provide a summary of those programs both temporally and geographically; 3) help identify areas where monitoring is lacking or where protocols are inconsistent; and 4) assist existing programs in coordinating their efforts and increase understanding of programs across organizations.)

(This is an interim report on the development of a water quality management plan for Southwest Florida.  The report discusses the history and development of the Section 208 program, which is part of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972.  Five case study areas are examined: Phillippi Creek Subbasin; Charlotte Harbor-Peace/Myakka River Basin; Upper Caloosahatchee River Basin; the Big Cypress Basin; and the Lemon Bay area.  Future Section 208 activities and public participation in 208 activities are discussed.)
