LIFE ON FORT MYERS BEACH
Corps to Reduce Flows from Lake Okeechobee
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Jacksonville District will reduce 
the amount of water flowing from Lake Okeechobee beginning last weekend. Starting Friday (March 4), the new target flow for the Caloosahatchee
 Estuary is 4,000 cubic feet per second (cfs) as measured at Moore Haven
 Lock (S-77) located in the southwest part of the lake. The new target 
flow for the St. Lucie Estuary is 1,800 cfs as measured at St. Lucie 
Lock (S-80) near Stuart. Additional runoff from rain in the St. Lucie 
basin could occasionally result in flows that exceed targets. READ MORE HERE
 The 58th Annual Fort Myers Beach Lions Shrimp Festival arrives on our shores the weekend of March 12th and 13th

Shrimp Run on the beach! That’s in addition to all the traditional fun 
of Shrimp Festival!
