Language Disclaimer

The content on the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's website was written and published in English, and English is the sole authoritative language for all such content. As an aid to site visitors who might benefit from multiple language options, the website offers an automated translation feature for browser content in the footer. The translation link will not convert attached or linked files, such as PDFs.

The website translation feature uses Gtranslate®. Gtranslate is a third-party tool which is not owned, maintained, modified or controlled in any way by DEP, and which is not endorsed by DEP as preferable to either human-generated translations, or any other automated translation options.

Translation is a nuanced and complex activity and computer-generated translations cannot be expected to be perfectly accurate. Automated translations of this site are not reviewed in advance by DEP and could convey incorrect or offensive language. DEP disclaims any liability for errors, omissions or interpretive inconsistencies arising in the context of such translation. Site users assume all risk in using translated text. DEP is not responsible for any loss, damage or harm resulting from reliance on translated text. Use of the translation tool in this website implies understanding and agreement with this assumption and disclaimer.

If you note what you believe to be a translational error, you may report it to DEP via the DEP Customer Service Survey. However, DEP has no control over any translation or alleged errors, and does not assure that the translation challenged will be changed.
