“Florida’s water, wildlife, and special places deserve to be protected,” said Mary Jean Yon, Audubon Florida’s Legislative Director. “Our environment is directly linked to our economy and quality of life. The 2014 Legislative Session is a great opportunity for legislators to stand up for natural Florida.”
