2012 Florida Priorities
Clean Water Action asks that state policymakers continue to include public health, clean and safe water, and clean energy in the top tier of their 2012 Legislative priorities:
• Protect our Water: CWA calls upon state lawmakers to protect public health and our water quality from point and non-point source pollution. We need to dramatically reduce mercury, phosphorous, and other toxics from our ground and surface waters. Florida must set and enforce numeric nutrient standards to protect our lakes, flowing waters, and estuaries. Investments in water conservation programs should be high priority, as it is less costly to prevent pollution than to clean it up.
