SPRINGS SCIENCE
Since 2010, the Florida Springs Institute has been establishing a quantitative springs baseline by monitoring and reporting water quality and quantity, conducting springs ecological studies, and documenting the overall health of Florida’s spring ecosystems. We utilize all available scientifically defensible springs data to develop holistic springs restoration action plans. We share our recommendations and collaborate with individuals, businesses, and government agencies to better protect Florida springs so that future generations can enjoy them as we have.
OUTREACH & EDUCATION
Since our inception in 2010, the Howard T. Odum Florida Springs Institute has been dedicated to educating the public about Florida springs through our many programs, learning tools, and events. In 2013 the Florida Spring Institute incorporated as a 501(c)(3) private non-profit. One of our biggest assets is our Florida Springs Welcome Center (FSWC), which was created to showcase the fascinating aspects of Florida spring ecosystems and to help answer your springs questions.
