As Florida gears up for its 2025 legislative session, Bonefish & Tarpon Trust (BTT) is working closely with Governor DeSantis and state legislators to secure funding and programs that will enhance water quality and fish habitats along the state’s coastlines. With the Everglades being key to Florida’s world-class fisheries, BTT is pushing for strong funding to continue Everglades restoration and water quality projects to protect coastal ecosystems and improve fishing conditions.

BTT is also advocating for the continued funding of the Innovative Wastewater Technology Grant Program, which is tackling pharmaceutical contaminants that have been found in Florida’s bonefish and redfish. Plus, they’re backing the creation of the Northwest Florida Watersheds Regional Partnership to proactively address ecosystem challenges and ensure the health of prized sportfish like tarpon and redfish. These initiatives are all about keeping Florida’s waters clean and its fisheries thriving for future generations of anglers.
