Key Issues

  • Everglades

    The Florida Everglades are not only an environmental wonder but also provide essential “plumbing” to move water south in the state, recharging the Biscayne Aquifer and ultimately supplying necessary freshwater to Florida Bay.

Latest News

Economic Impacts of Recreational Fishing

These results report the economic contributions to the respective state economies from anglers who live within each congressional district. They do not represent the economic contributions that occur within any given district as a result of angler spending. For example, the presence or absence of a large manufacturing firm within a district is not reflected in the equipment spending by a district’s residents.
