Establish a Fundamental Right to Clean and Healthy Waters in Florida

The Issue

Print, Sign, Mail your 2026 Ballot Petition here:

 I've been rooted in Florida for 50 years, witnessing the deteriorating conditions of our waters as pollution levels escalate. I have observed the only reef system in North America withering before my eyes, dropping its hard coral coverage from 75% to a mere 3% today. The quality of our waters directly affected my livelihood, forcing me to sell my waterfront motel and boat tour businesses. Today, Florida's "Blue Water" economy teeters on the brink of collapse. Our tourism, our primary income source, is highly dependent on clean waters, and without them, travelers will turn elsewhere.

Sadly, this devastating narrative isn't unique to me. The outdated political and regulatory framework designated to protect our environment has simply failed us all. Despite efforts, our waters remain more contaminated than ever.

In 2026, the power to change the direction of this story lies in our hands. By collectively signing 900,000 ballot petitions, we can establish the legal and fundamental right to clean and healthy waters—a right that doesn't currently exist.

The time has come to regain our capacity to protect our water quality by positively disrupting the rules set by decision-makers in Tallahassee. Only then, can we end the era of failed stewardship by regulators, ensuring a healthier, cleaner, and more sustainable future for our generations to come. Sign this petition to contribute to this essential change. Let us bring back the life and vitality of Florida's waters. Your signature matters. With your signature here today, you will receive a ballot petition by email for printing, signing and mailing.
