The Missouri Nonpoint Source Management Forum is a stakeholder workgroup made up of representatives from state, federal, local, nonprofit and private partners and stakeholders. The forum was created to advance nonpoint source pollution management goals in Missouri. The forum's particular focus is on making and tracking progress in achieving goals outlined in Missouri’s Nonpoint Source Management Plan. Forum stakeholders have the opportunity to share ideas and look for expertise from colleagues across organizational boundaries.
