The Advisory Committee of the Marine and Environmental Resource Task Force agreed to reopen nominations for the John Mulholland stewardship award and voted to present the award to the nonprofit Friends of Little Estero Island.
Committee discussion reviewed the award’s history: it is named for former mayor John Mulholland and recognizes individuals, businesses or nonprofit organizations for voluntary work advancing awareness, education and preservation of the town’s natural resources. Committee members agreed to have the town’s public information officer distribute application materials and accept nominations from the public.
