The story in brief

Florida Politics reports that Republican gubernatorial candidate Byron Donalds proposed coordinating protection of coastal waterways and inland watersheds, alongside habitat restoration projects. He said his plan would avoid additional regulations and preserve fishing access. Donalds also proposed statewide restoration grants and wastewater investments, including connecting vulnerable properties to sewer systems. These are campaign proposals, with implementation still prospective.
