New Web Design by Quenzel & Associates for Sanibel Island based client PURRE, a 501c3 Foundation dedicated to preserving clean waters.

People United to Restore our Rivers & Estuaries (PURRE ) is a nonprofit organization whose members and partners are committed to improving the health and productivity of the rivers and estuaries of South Florida.South Florida’s estuary system is in danger of being destroyed beyond the possibility of repair by man or nature if policies are not changed. Years of mismanagement, excess nutrients from polluted Lake Okeechobee and watershed runoff, and rapid growth development contribute to the deterioration of our precious marine ecosystem. These are the causes of our water-quality problems – and they have yet to be addressed.
