Public Access and Use
The Issues.
Collier County remains one of the fastest developing areas in the nation, currently ranking fifth in the U.S. in metropolitan growth. The resident population in the county is expected to triple within the next 25 years. In correlation with this unprecedented growth, RBNERR is observing a rapid increase in public access and use of Keewaydin Island.

To address these issues, RBNERR has developed a public use management strategy implemented in 2008.
