ADVOCATING FOR
FLORIDA'S SPRINGS

Video provided by David Schrichte

The Florida Springs Council is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization focused on advocacy for
Florida's springs and spring-fed waterways.

Our mission is to build the power, influence, and resources of springs advocates across the state.
We focus on the culture and policy changes that will lead to the protection and restoration of
Florida's springs and waterways.

We are putting those who pollute and abuse our springs on notice. We do whatever is necessary – through Advocacy, Local Governments, the Legislature, and the Courts - to reverse the destruction of Florida’s springs, rivers, and aquifer.

Due to Hurricane Milton, the 2024 Springs Summit originally scheduled for October 19th in Gulfport is being rescheduled. We look forward to hosting the event with Stetson Law in early 2025.

A call for environmental whistleblowers - agency employees

Last year we created an anonymous and secure end-to-end encrypted form, hosted by BlockSurvey, designed for full anonymity, for anyone inside state agencies with knowledge that will help protect Florida's environment and preserve the public's right to participate in governmental decisions.

NEW Action Alert 9/20
Tell DEP to follow the law and protect our springs

Tell DEP: Stop avoiding. Stop delaying. Stop abusing the process.

Join us in telling DEP to either adopt a rule that meets the requirements of law and protects Outstanding Florida's Springs from harmful water withdrawals, or propose the current invalid draft rule for adoption so we can overturn it in court.
