Florida Waterkeepers Committed to Protecting Sunshine State Waters

Regional entity Waterkeepers Florida came together early February for an in-person board meeting to set goals for the 2019 Florida legislative session. They gathered at the 25th Annual Public Interest Environmental Conference at the University of Florida Levin College of Law in Gainesville and used the opportunity to educate attendees about the problems facing Florida’s waters and further coordinate on responses to statewide environmental legislation. Before the three-day conference was over, they’d also drafted a letter to newly instated Governor DeSantis, asking for increased protection for the state’s waterways and offering their expertise to the policy problems.
