Our Institute pursues legal means, including litigation, to protect and preserve the public lands and waters within the Public Trust. Additionally, the Institute promotes education of political leaders, government officials and citizens by participating in speaking engagements and writing articles and letters. The Institute also promotes the use and enjoyment of land and waters within the public trust.
The primary focus of The Public Trust Environmental Legal Institute of Florida is the zealous protection of the City of Jacksonville 's Preservation Project and other federal and state protected lands and waters.
Present and planned activities for the Institute include:
• The recruitment of Public Trust members including the promotion of the "Adopt a Preservation Park" project.
• Promoting the use and enjoyment of land within the public trust. Establish a speaker's bureau to supply civic groups with presentations regarding the Preservation Project and other Public Trust lands and waters.
• Complete an interactive "How To Manual" for challenging land use decisions.
• Build on and expand our "Public Trust Map" to include a computer model which will indicate the location of potential permitted development activities. This "Map" will allow us to closely monitor the application for such permits to try to avoid damage to Public Trust resources and will also track pollution which might affect these lands and waters.
