Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

Florida Springs, River, and Aquifer protection

  • Education: FSC coordinates a collaborative network of over 50 environmental education and advocacy organizations. FSC prepares and distributes technically sound education information and resources to members, the public, agency staff, and decision-makers. in 2023, FSC educated tens of thousands of Floridians on springs science and research, threats to Florida's water resources, and personal and governmental actions that can preserve and protect Florida's springs from over-pumping, nutrient pollution, and irresponsible recreation.

    Expenses $97,459 · Revenue $36,074

  • Environmental Advocacy: FSC coordinates and leads statewide and regional educational advocacy efforts to protect Florida's springs from development, pollution, excessive water withdrawals, and recreational overuse. FSC's work focuses on 30 Outstanding Florida Springs and Rivers identified in Florida Statute. FSC assists community members, local governments, and agency personnel in developing policies to protect Florida's springs and oppose decisions that would harm Florida's springs. FSC stopped the development of a resort along the Rainbow River and a gas station over a cave system leading to Wakulla Springs. FSC has affected the drafting and implementation of numerous springs related statutes and rules.

    Expenses $70,154

  • Legal Advocacy: FSC provides expert and legal support to member organizations and individuals regarding legal and administrative challenges to consumptive use permits which are not in the public interest, water quality restoration plans, recovery and prevention plans, development orders, and plan amendments. FSC successfully assisted member organizations and individuals in challenging five basin management action plans, covering 15 Outstanding Florida Springs, which fail to meet water quality protection requirements in Florida Statute. FSC is challenging a consumptive use permit for water bottling that would exacerbate existing harm to the Santa Fe River and associated Springs. FSC conducted legal research on a number of topics, including consumptive use permitting rule development, recreational usage, and water supply plans which is provided at no charge to our member organizations and interested individuals.

    Expenses $42,007

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
