HB 175/SB 192 in the Florida Legislature would establish a 2 mile buffer zone around Everglades National Park and establish heightened review of any proposals to develop in this area. Sponsored by Miami-Dade delegation members Representative Demi Busatta Cabrera and Senator Bryan Avila, this common sense legislation is worthy of bipartisan support, and builds on the work of the environmental community and Gov. DeSantis' Executive Order directing additional funding for restoration and water quality programs.

We urge all members of the Dade delegation to vote for these additional protections for the crown jewel of our beautiful wildlands.

Send a letter to the members of the Miami-Dade delegation and tell them to support this important bill!
