Environmental Quality
Pay heed my children. Human kind has not woven the web
of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we
do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound
together. All things connect.

The health of Hillsborough Bay is important to Davis
Islanders. It is the water that surrounds us and defines
us as islands. The water is clean and people can swim
in it safely. Manatees are occasionally sited and
they are protected. Water access points are kept clean
of litter and run-off into the bay is minimized. Drainage
is filtered and sedimentation is cleaned from the
canals regularly.
Davis Islanders walk and bike more frequently than
residents of most neighborhoods. The reduced use of
the automobile contributes to our environmental quality.
