Earth Science Week

 

Geology and the other branches of the earth sciences are essential in achieving environmental protection goals. Daily decisions and long-term strategies that protect our environment depend on our scientists who collect geologic samples in the field, perform sample description and data entry in the office, and conduct sample analyses in the lab.  The results are provided through publications, maps and digital data layers that increase our understanding of Florida’s natural systems and processes.


Florida Beach Access

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection is committed to providing an opportunity for Floridians and visitors to know and enjoy the public beach access points along Florida’s coastline. 

Approximately 90% of Florida’s beach/coastal access points are open to the public. If you would like to provide input, please email: Public.Services@FloridaDEP.gov.
