The Sanibel Captiva Conservation Foundation Policy Team discusses in a new podcast episode the current Florida legislative session and why the community should join in the Everglades Action Day on April 7-8 in Tallahassee.

SCCF Environmental Policy Director Matt DePaolis and Policy Associate Allie Pecenka sat down last week to discuss the outlook for environmental legislation during the 2025 session, which the team tracks daily in real-time on the SCCF Legislative Tracker.

They also encourage community members passionate about Everglades restoration and improving local water quality to join them on a group trip to the state capitol to meet with legislators to advocate for full Everglades funding, protection, restoration, and supporting legislation.

Questions and concerns about the current legislative session can be sent to Pecenka at apecenka@sccf.org.
