Levy County Secures Grant for
Shellfish Trail Map
Levy County Board of County Commission has received a notice of a grant award
of $20,000 to implement proposed work on The Shellfish Trail Map. One of five collabora-
tive grants awarded across the Big Bend counties--Dixie, Jefferson, Levy, and Taylor--the
funding encourages partnerships to strengthen the region's economic vitality while simul-
taneously ensuring the ongoing health of its natural resources. " This project will showcase
our working waterfront communities and encourage economic growth in Levy County and
in the Big Bend Region," said Levy County Commissioner John Meeks. Over the next
year, Levy County Visitors Bureau will be implementing this project with the intent to
develop a map that will include Levy, Dixie, Taylor and Lafayette Counties. The map will
educate people about where to buy and eat local shellfish, how to take an active role in pro-
tecting water quality and habit for shellfish industries within the Big Bend Region; where
recreational scalloping is allowed; where to learn about commercial production of clams
and oysters, location of recreational boat ramps; and the locations of working waterfronts
in this The next steps will be to locate shellfish vendors, gather information on working
waterfronts, and identify key areas to protect water quality and habitats. The grant is pro-
vided by The Conservation Fund, a national organization that makes conservation work for
America, with support from the Richard King Mellon Foundation.
Earlier research on the region s economy demonstrated the critical link between
the area s incredible land and waters and its economic health. The Conservation Fund cre-
ated the grant program to enhance this connection and support the needs expressed by the
region s leaders.

a lot of vacant land that is developed today. River Haven Marina on the north bank on Hall's
