DeSantis has been a vocal advocate for environmental protection, and his administration has taken a number of steps to address climate change and protect Florida’s natural resources. In 2019, he signed an executive order creating the Office of Resilience and Coastal Protection, which is tasked with developing strategies to protect the state from the impacts of sea level rise and other climate-related threats.
The governor has also been a strong supporter of Florida’s tourism industry, which relies heavily on the state’s beaches and coastal resources. In 2020, he announced a $100 million investment in beach renourishment projects, which are designed to protect beaches from erosion and storm damage.
