About the Choctawhatchee Bay Estuary Program
The Choctawhatchee Bay Estuary Program was established for the protection and enhancement of the water quality, natural resources, and quality of life within the Choctawhatchee Bay watershed, an area of over 5,000 square miles. The program is guided by the Choctawhatchee Bay Estuary Coalition, formed in 2017 by an interlocal agreement of the Board of County Commissioners of Holmes, Okaloosa, Washington, and Walton Counties, consistent with Florida Statutes.
For more information about the Estuary Program, please contact: Brian L. Underwood, AICP, Executive Director, Choctawhatchee Bay Estuary Program by phone at (850) 609-5382 or by Email at bunderwood@myokaloosa.com.
