Florida Wildlife Federation

Protect Florida's Waterways and Wildlife

At the Florida Wildlife Federation, we’re working to protect Florida’s water, wildlife, and wild spaces—and our efforts in Miami-Dade and Broward are especially urgent. 

Since 2016, we have been engaged in litigation to stop a proposed dredge project at Port Everglades that would cause the largest permitted coral destruction in the United States. If the Army Corps of Engineers moves forward, this could bury thriving reefs in sediment, devastate marine habitats, and harm endangered species along our coast. We saw this with PortMiami 10 years ago and we can’t let it happen again. 

In a renewed effort, we joined conservation partners in the Stop the Dredge campaign to push back. Together, we’re using advocacy, science, and legal action to call on legislators and agencies to stop this destructive project, and we need your support.
