Watershed
Every square foot of land in Pinellas County drains into an open body of water. Our watershed efforts aim to limit the fertilizers, trash and more that wash into our waterways.

Environmental Management Division
Environmental Management, a division of Public Works, is responsible for monitoring and protecting Pinellas County's environmental resources. This division conducts proactive monitoring, responds to citizen inquiries and manages various projects and permits for the protection of our natural and built environmental resources.
