Dubuque Audubon supports the establishment of a floating Island - wetland in the 16th Street retention
basin.
Dubuque Audubon has long been active in promoting wildlife in the 16th street retention basin starting
with construction of the original overlook at the basin and continuing with planting aquatic vegetation
and numerous clean -ups of the basin.The proposed floating island and wetland will provide more
wildlife habitat for the basin which is one of the eleven sustainability principles and thus will provide
more wildlife for citizens to view from the proposed overlooks. We encourage you to support the
proposed floating island - wetland.
