DeSantis pledges $18M to fight red tide
Governor Ron DeSantis upheld one of his campaign promises by signing a bill into law to mitigate the impact of red tide along with blue-green algae blooms.
"This was one of the most productive sessions that we've had in Florida in a long time in terms of protecting Florida's waters and resources," DeSantis said during a press conference he held to sign the bill.
Companion bill SB 1552 will provide funding and research for Florida red tide mitigation and supports technology development, according to the Senate's website.
