Right to Know
Campaign Toolkit
Floridians have the Right to Know if the waterways they recreate in are polluted with fecal bacteria. Join the Right to Know movement and help support the Florida Safe Waterways Act by writing or calling your legislators and expressing your support, and sharing these resources with your contacts. Together, we can make this a resounding success!
We will continue to create more resources so feel free to check back often for new and updated materials.
