A Message from the Secretary

Dear Colleagues:

We are excited to announce that the Florida Geological Survey (FGS) will move to Regulatory Programs. Our FGS folks will be a great addition to the Regulatory Programs team as they will be supplying critical scientific support, research and assessments to the various regulatory districts and divisions in a more efficient and consistent fashion.

The FGS is full of talented and committed folks who work hard every day to support the FGS' mission to collect, interpret and provide quality geologic information about Florida. Jon Arthur will continue to serve as the FGS Director, and will report to Jeff Littlejohn, Deputy Secretary for Regulatory Programs.

Jeff is excited to welcome Jon and the rest of the FGS to his team, and to better utilize important work they do to protect and conserve Florida's important natural resources. We are confident that this move will benefit the FGS and Florida's environment by helping DEP become a more effective and efficient agency. Thanks for helping us make this transition a smooth one.
