Water monitoring begins in Collier, Lee in case BP Gulf oil spill arrives
With an eye on the spill’s track, monitors plan to start taking water quality and sediment samples at spots along the Collier and Lee county coasts this coming week. The state Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has approved a sampling plan that has fewer sampling sites than originally proposed along a stretch of west Florida between Hernando County, north of Tampa, and Collier County.
