Protect Florida’s wetlands! Join Waterkeepers Florida in letting the EPA know they should reject FDEP’s request to assume wetland permitting authority to protect our most vulnerable waterways and wildlife.
Please read the action alert in link below. Â Florida DEP (FDEP) asked the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for permission to take control over wetland permitting under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. If approved, many of our wetlands and waterways would lose an additional layer of oversight and protection. Florida’s waters are already suffering, due, in part, to the failure of FDEP to enforce existing regulations and hold polluters accountable.
