Skip the fertilizer from June through September to protect the waterways that make Tampa Bay so special. Clear water, thriving wildlife, and endless outdoor fun all start with the choices you make in your own yard. Whether you have a couple hours or a couple days, find out how you can “Be Floridian” this summer.

The natural resources of Tampa Bay support essential industries such as tourism, mineral extraction, marine transportation, and other commercial and recreational activities. This study values the annual economic impacts, property value premiums, and ecosystem services provided by Tampa Bay and its watershed. 

Help support bay restoration efforts by purchasing a Tampa Bay Estuary specialty license plate, also known as the Tarpon Tag. Proceeds from sales of the plate directly fund our community-based Bay Mini-Grant program each and every year.
