The State of Florida has 8,400
miles of shoreline, 7000 lakes covering 3 million acres, and 51,000 miles of
rivers, streams and creeks. No matter where you stand in Florida, you can never
be more than 75 miles from coastal waters.
The quality of Florida's surface waters can be degraded by boat sewage,
gray water, cleaning
products, spilled fuel, trash and the introduction of exotic organisms.
These materials
not only degrade Florida's environment, but also hamper the enjoyment of
Florida's recreational areas. Government alone cannot protect Florida's
environment. Each one of us must share the responsibility for pollution
prevention. Sometimes it is simple as doing things a little differently.
Clean Boating habits strive for a cleaner environment through your efforts
and those of volunteers, citizen support, plus partnerships with
government, business and industry.
