WATER CONSERVATION MONTH SHOWS FLORIDIANS IMPORTANCE OF YEAR-ROUND SAVING

~DEP encourages residents to implement water conservation strategies this and every month~

TALLAHASSEE – The Florida Department of Environmental Protection recognizes April as Water Conservation Month, a time dedicated to educating residents and visitors of the importance of protecting Florida's water resources and supply and everyday steps that can be taken at home to help.

Governor Rick Scott has recognized April as Water Conservation Month in a proclamation that emphasizes the importance of increasing awareness and prompting action for efficient use of the state's water resources.

"Our priority continues to be to ensure the sustainable supply and quality of our water," said Greg Munson, Deputy Secretary for Water Policy and Ecosystem Restoration. "This April is the perfect time for Floridians to join us in these efforts by learning more about water conservation."

For the last 16 months, the Department has led a statewide effort to improve consistency in the consumptive water use permitting programs implemented by the state’s five water management districts. As part of that process, the Department has taken steps to incentivize water conservation measures at the local level. The Department is also revising and expanding state rules to further increase Florida's use of reclaimed water. Even as the rules have been developed, the state's five water management districts continue to fund extensive water conservation initiatives through education campaigns and reclaimed water development projects.

Ongoing efforts statewide show that water conservation efforts are working. Florida remains one of the most water-efficient states in the nation. In 2011, Florida used more than 722 million gallons of reclaimed water every day to conserve freshwater and replenish rivers, streams, lakes and aquifers. Florida uses reclaimed water to irrigate 311,068 residences, 546 golf courses, 998 parks and 346 schools, according to 2011 data. As a result, Florida re-uses more water than any other state.

“On this 15th anniversary of April as water conservation month we would like to thank all that adopt and integrate conservation into their everyday routine," said Lisa Krentz, Water Use Efficiency Division Chair of the Florida Section of the American Water Works Association. "It is imperative we continue to recognize water is the keystone to life in Florida.”

Since most areas of Florida continue to struggle with drought conditions, water conservation is critical. Water conservation is the least costly and easiest plan to preserving our natural resources. Floridians can participate this month by implementing one or more of these 10 simple tips from the Southwest Florida Water Management District. These tips can help lower monthly water bills while helping to save hundreds of gallons of water:

Indoor Tips:

• Only run your washing machine and dishwasher when they are full.
• Use the shortest clothes washing cycle for lightly soiled loads.
• Thaw frozen food in the refrigerator or microwave, not under running water.
• Scrape, don’t rinse, your dishes before loading in the dishwasher.
• Install high-efficiency showerheads, faucets and toilets.

Outdoor Tips:

• Check your home’s irrigation system for leaks to save up to 6,300 gallons of water per month.
• Turn off your home’s irrigation system and only water as needed; save up to 2,000 gallons each time a watering day is skipped.
• Don’t leave sprinklers unattended. Use a kitchen timer to remind yourself to turn sprinklers off.
• Use a hose with a shutoff nozzle when washing the car to save around 40 gallons per wash.
• Consider installing a rain barrel with a drip irrigation system for watering your landscaping. Rainwater is free and better for your plants because it doesn’t contain hard minerals.

GUANA TOLOMATO MATANZAS RESEARCH RESERVE CELEBRATES PONCE DE LEON'S ARRIVAL IN FLORIDA

~500th Anniversary commemorated with new Ponce educational exhibit~

A new statue was unveiled today where Ponce de Leon is said to have landed in Florida.

TALLAHASSEE – The Florida Department of Environmental Protection’s Guana Tolomato Matanzas National Estuarine Research Reserve unveiled the Ponce Educational Exhibit, a new educational display at its North Beach Access today on the 500th anniversary of Juan Ponce de Leon’s landing in Florida.

Jimmy Ponce, a descendant of Juan Ponce de Leon, and the Men of Menendez, a 16th century living history group, held a reenactment of the event by taking a reading of the sun at noon using an astrolobe, an ancient navigational device used to calculate locations on the globe. The new exhibit includes a 17-foot tall statue of Ponce de Leon, a historic marker describing the significance of 30˚8’ and the history of the area. The Reserve also reopened its newly reconstructed North Beach Overlook.

“Florida’s dedication to conservation has ensured that the Reserve’s environment today is much like what Ponce de Leon saw in 1513,” said Kevin Claridge, the Director of the Department's Office of Coastal and Aquatic Managed Areas. "This new exhibit not only highlights the role of the Reserve in preserving Florida's environment, but also one of the most important moments in our state's rich history."

The Ponce Exhibit was made possible through donations and the collaboration of many community partners. Local businesses, volunteers and high school students have contributed their time and resources to develop and construct the various elements of the exhibit. The statute and beach overlook is open to the public during daylight hours.

Juan Ponce de Leon is the first explorer to document landing on the Florida coast. His fleet of three vessels sailed from Puerto Rico, sighting what they thought to be an island on Sunday, March 27, 1513, the day of the Festival of the Resurrection. They continued their journey northwest along the coast until beset by foul weather.

After a storm on April 2, Ponce’s fleet moved close to shore to establish a navigational fix. A noon sighting of the sun taken with an astrolabe and checked against navigation tables established a latitude reading of 30⁰ 8’. This reading is the most scientifically accurate fix for Ponce’s landing place on the Florida coast, placing it just north of the Guana Tolomato Matanzas National Estuarine Research Reserve’s boundaries.

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection’s Office of Coastal and Aquatic Managed Areas is responsible for oversight of the State’s 41 Aquatic Preserves, three National Estuarine Research Reserves, the Florida Coral Reef Conservation Program, and the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. It is the mission of CAMA to conserve and restore Florida’s coastal resources for the benefit of people and the environment. The GTM National Estuarine Research Reserve promotes informed coastal decisions through research, stewardship and education.
