The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) does not discriminate on the basis of disability in employment or in the admission and access to its programs, services or activities. DEP is committed to ensuring that its programs, activities, employment opportunities, and services are available to all persons, including persons with disabilities.

The DEP Accessibility Coordinator, located in the Division of Recreation and Parks, has been designated to coordinate and carry out this department's compliance with the nondiscrimination requirements of Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). For persons with a disability needing an accommodation to a DEP program, activity, employment, and/or service, other than State Parks, please contact Lynda Watson at 850-245-2420 or Lynda.Watson@dep.state.fl.us. For a State Parks program, activity, employment and/or other service, please contact Rockal Archie at 850-245-2139 or 850-245-2139.

To ensure we have enough time to provide appropriate accommodation, the Department would appreciate receiving your request for accommodation as early as possible before the scheduled event or need for the service.
