The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) protects, conserves and manages Florida's natural resources and enforces the state's environmental laws. DEP oversees and manages Florida's award-winning state parks and trails system. Since 1990, through its innovative land acquisition programs, Preservation 2000 and Florida Forever, more than two million acres of valuable lands have been preserved, protecting habitat for 190 native and endangered animals and plants, while restoring ecosystems throughout the state. The department's regulatory priorities include administering Florida's air pollution control programs to best protect human health; protecting and restoring water quality; managing hazardous waste and cleanups; overseeing beach restorations; and reviewing applications for power plants, transmission lines and natural gas pipelines. In addition, DEP’s six district offices ensure statewide compliance with department rules.

Florida’s freshwater springs are an important part of our natural heritage. They support wildlife, attract visitors, and offer great opportunities for outdoor recreation year-round.

That’s why I was proud to announce $100 million for a total of 45 projects to restore Florida’s springsheds and expand our state’s clean water supply. These strategic investments will build on the progress we’ve made in protecting our natural resources and improving water quality in communities across Florida, so that we can leave this state to God better than we found it.

Today in Crystal River, I was proud to announce $100 million for springs restoration and alternative water supply projects throughout Florida.

This funding will support:

✔️ 23 Springs Restoration Grants to protect the quality and quantity of water that flows from our freshwater springs.

✔️ 22 Alternative Water Supply Grant projects to help communities plan for and implement water conservation, reuse, and supply projects.

Since 2019, my administration has invested over $430 million in 147 springs restoration projects across Florida. These projects have reduced total nitrogen pollution by an estimated 930,000 pounds annually, helping improve water quality and protect the ecosystems that sustain our springs.

Florida’s freshwater springs are among our state’s most treasured natural resources. We have a responsibility to protect these resources for future generations.
