Florida is leading the world’s largest ecosystem restoration project to restore the Everglades’ natural water flow and improve water quality. Through strategic land acquisitions, the Florida Forever Program strengthens landscape connectivity, enhances ecosystem resilience and protects Florida’s natural heritage for future generations. ProtectingFloridaTogether.gov offers up-to-date water quality data from across Florida, giving the public the information needed to support restoration and protection efforts. The Resilient Florida Program takes a proactive approach, helping communities identify unique risks through planning grants and supporting adaptation and mitigation strategies through the Statewide Resilience Plan. Florida’s Section 404 Program, one of the nation’s most efficient and protective permitting programs, was halted by a federal court order on Feb. 15, 2024, pausing all activity despite its demonstrated record of environmental and economic success. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection is the state’s lead agency for environmental management and stewardship, protecting our air, water and land while supporting a thriving economy that depends on healthy natural resources.
