The editorial board of Scripps Treasure Coast Newspapers believes it is important for Florida’s new DEP Chief to know the issues confronting the Indian River Lagoon and the commitment of people in our region to restore, protect and preserve this valuable natural resource.

Our editorial board would like to draw your attention to one particular region of the Sunshine State: the Treasure Coast.
