Research
CBA supports scientific understanding of the Choctawhatchee watershed through collaborative environmental monitoring and technical field assistance. Much of our work involves long-term monitoring, habitat assessment, and assistance with data collection to inform management and restoration decisions. CBA collaborates with federal, state, county, military, university, and nonprofit partners to advance understanding of the Choctawhatchee Bay system.
