EcoSummary Reports

This statewide map shows the locations of a series of EcoSummary Reports written by FDEP staff from 2010 through the present. Intended for a wide audience, the reports summarize the biological health and water quality conditions for a single freshwater stream, lake, or spring. Reports include a map and a description of the sampling location, photos of the site, tables of water quality and assessment sampling results, recommendations for future monitoring, and who to contact for more information.
