“Our region has many wonderful ecological treasures including the ocean,
numerous rivers, lakes and springs. Simply as natural wonders, they should
be admired, respected and treated responsibly. But there are also very
practical reasons for committing to good stewardship. In a global
marketplace where economic growth is lifestyle driven, they offer our
Central Florida region a competitive advantage that cannot be matched or
surpassed by any other place on earth."
