Florida Coastal Environmental Resources

The first scheduled update and revision of the original environmental indicator system produced in 1995. It provides a comprehensive perspective of the important environmental, growth management, economic, and social values associated with the coast. It provides a means of evaluating Florida's progress in protecting its coastal areas; a basis for making strategic decisions about programs and financial resources; and information about coastal issues and problems to other decision-makers and the general public. Includes: updating the data in the indicators; deleting indicators with poor or nonexistent data sources; and adding new indicators.

This project reports findings from a Florida statewide survey conducted in 1988 to investigate the attitudes held about coastal resources, management programs and technical information factors by the general public, the activist public, and policy elites.
