Air Resource Management
Air Resource Management?s role is to
protect, conserve and restore Florida's air, with the primary
goal of protecting the health of its residents. Air pollution
comes from many sources, including factories, power plants, dry
cleaners and motor vehicles. Air Resource Management implements the
federal Clean Air Act and appropriate statutes to protect
Floridians. Air Resource Management conducts permitting,
compliance, enforcement and air quality monitoring activities
to ensure that air standards are being met and to protect
public health. More about

Florida wetlands are areas saturated by
surface or ground water with much vegetation. Some examples of
Florida wetlands include swamps, marshes, mangrove swamps and
wet prairies. The Submerged Lands and Environmental Resources
Permitting (SLERP) program addresses the dredging, filling and
construction in wetlands. SLERP also ensures that activities
in uplands, wetlands or other surface waters do not degrade
water quality or the habitat for wetland-dependent wildlife. More about SLERP
