Sarasota County monitors, protects and conserves its air, water and land with a focus on maintaining and improving its natural systems.

Our goal is to balance the needs of the environment with the desires of the public to use these natural resources. We strive to maintain good air quality, clean water and diverse habitats while providing appropriate public access.
