Coastal and Ocean Pollution

Florida’s incredible resources are silently slipping away. Pollution from development, agriculture, and industry is killing reefs and seagrass beds and fouling once-clear springs. And even though Florida remains a top destination for anglers, many fish are now too contaminated to eat. The crisis of our polluted waters demands leadership: Florida needs to enforce and strengthen clean water rules to serve as an example to other states. The health of the ecosystems must be a priority over continued damaging industrial pollution and overdevelopment.
