The grant provides matching funds to continue marine law enforcement activities along the Imperial River and in Estero Bay.

The WCIND has approved the requested grant in the amount of $40,000.00 for support of the marine unit of the Lee County Sheriff’s Office to provide on-water patrol. The patrol unit will continue to primarily patrol waters in the Imperial River and Estero Bay.
