Save Carpenter’s Creek Petition
We, Emerald Coastkeeper, Inc. petition the City of Pensacola, Escambia County Board of Commissioners, Florida Department of Environmental Protection to allocate millions of funds from the RESTORE FUNDS, NRDA and TRIUMPH GULF COAST FUNDS for the restoration of Carpenter’s Creek located in Escambia County and the City of Pensacola. We urge our public officials to act quickly to protect Carpenter’s Creek from continued degradation from urbanization and destruction of the riparian zone along the creek. We ask that our governmental officials establish a special task force to develop a strategic plan to save Carpenter’s Creek.

I believe it is far past time that we correct and clear the trash and debri blockage from source to 12th avenue bridge. Some of the BP winfall dollars can finally make this happen.
40-50 years ago, Carpenter Creek was a bastion of bass/bream and mullet. We would even see porpoise as far as the 12th Ave bridge. The shortsightedness of developers of Cordova Mall/Albertson's and surrounding area has destroyed a once pristine waterway enjoyed by swimmers, skiers and fisherman. Nothing could be more worthy of our efforts than this cause.
Thank you for starting the petition to restore Carpenter's Creek! I've seen old photo's of dolphin playing in the bayou and happy swimmers enjoying clean water. It's not too late to clean up this worthy waterway.
protect our environment please. We cannot allow degradation of our waters such as this.
The creek deserves to be preserved

Thank you Laurie Murphy, Executive Director of Emerald Coastkeeper, and all the wonderful volunteers that are bringing this creek back! So much more work and money is needed. Please, if you live in Pensacola, support this cause and http://www.emeraldcoastkeeper.org/save-carpenter-creek

Live on the creek and have watched the consistent decline of quality for forty years.
