The South Florida Clean Coastal Waters Act will help Floridians enjoy clean, safe, and healthy waters. That helps families and our economy. We have already seen how efforts like this can succeed in reducing harmful algal blooms in other parts of the country. This legislation will ensure southern Florida enjoys the same success. This is a great example of solid policymaking through regular order, and I appreciate all the work that went into it. I thank Senators Rubio and Scott for their work on the bill across the Hill; Representative Mast for his willingness to collaborate with our Senate colleagues; and Representatives Posey, Waltz, and Gimenez for leading this effort for the Science, Space, and Technology Committee. I urge my colleagues to support the bill, and I yield back the balance of my time.
