Mike Eubanks

Mike Eubanks works for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE), and has been a participant in the Invasive Species Focus Team for the Gulf of Mexico Program. Mike has been program manager for a number of environmental efforts, particularly the invasive Hydrilla problem and aquatic plant management, including implementation of herbicides and grass carp. Along with other institutions and organizations, Mike and the COE have the goal to help solve present and future water quality and quantity problems and to develop a management plan to best use the waters for the overall benefit of all parties concerned.

Many major environmental problems that Mike Eubanks must address are eutrophication due to point and non-point source nutrient loadings to reservoirs, water flow requirements for aquatic habitat, protection of the fisheries, protection of the environmentally sensitive Apalachicola Bay system, and assurance of safe drinking water.
