The Southeast District of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection covers six counties, including, Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Martin, St. Lucie, and Okeechobee. The geographical area includes portions of the Indian River Lagoon, the nation’s most diverse estuary; Loxahatchee River, the state’s only National Wild and Scenic River; one of the nation’s largest freshwater lakes, Lake Okeechobee; and the unique and beautiful Everglades System, including Florida Bay and the Kissimmee River. In addition to these extraordinary natural systems, Southeast Florida contains approximately one-third of Florida’s total population, with more than 5 million residents. Increasing population, urbanization and industrialization continue to place great stresses on our natural resources. We are committed to the protection of our extraordinary natural resources, and we strive to strike a balance between that commitment and responsible economic development.
