Not very Earth Day of them 😟

The Florida Senate passed a bill today to void Key West cruise ship referendums. The bill has to pass the Florida House of Representatives before becoming law, and the House vote has not yet been scheduled.

#ACTIONALERT: SB 426 threatens to overturn the cruise ship bill passed in November 2020 in Key West, plus threatens home rule of our 15 sister ports throughout Florida.

Senator Rodriguez has the potential to be Key West’s strongest ally, visit our FB and IG to contact her today.

Happy #WorldWetlandsDay! In Florida, mangroves provide shoreline stabilization from hurricanes, improved water quality, and a sheltered habitat for a plethora of marine life to call home. 🌱

This #WorldWetlandsDay, we’re celebrating #mangroves, which are a critical part of Florida’s coastal wetlands, providing shoreline stabilization, improved water quality, and habitat for a plethora of fish & invertebrates.

Today is #WorldWetlandsDay. 🌾

Wetlands provide many benefits to the environment and to society. They provide values no other ecosystem can and they are among the most productive ecosystems in the entire world—comparable to rainforests and coral reefs. #LinkInBio to learn more!

How do we combat the plastic pollution crisis?
Upstream. Tackling plastic pollution at its source.

[Surfrider Foundation @Surfrider]

How do we hold producers responsible for the plastic packaging found on store shelves? 🥤🍬

We are proud to celebrate this monumental victory as President @JoeBiden has taken historic action to stop the federal government’s dirty & dangerous offshore drilling plans. A tremendous win for our ocean, waves and beaches! 🌊

A great article featuring our SRFK Chair, Shawn, on House Bill 6027 introduced by FL State Rep @Mike_Grieco

This important bill would restore home rule for local governments, like ours in the Keys, wishing to regulate single-use plastics and Styrofoam.
