The project team will conduct a public involvement program that will engage the public in a meaningful dialogue about the issues at hand. The public engagement will drive the development and revision of alternatives as the process moves forward. This will include coordination with groups such as, but not limited to:

• J.N. “Ding” Darling NWR visitors, volunteers, and friends group
• Permanent residents
• Seasonal residents
• Day visitors (with and without specific destinations)
• Hotel/resort visitors
• Resort owners and management
• Business owners
• Sanibel & Captiva Chambers of Commerce
• Sanibel Bicycle Club
• Sanibel Captiva Conservation Foundation
• J.N. “Ding” Darling Wildlife Society
• Audubon Society of Sanibel
• Tarpon Bay Explorers
• Local, State and Federal agencies

Several open house workshops will be held for the project. In addition, public surveys will also be conducted to gauge public opinion and learn about island travel. Join the ATPPL Mailing List today to receive project updates.
