DEP Linkups are meaningful platforms for connectivity that encourage information sharing among stakeholders, regulated communities, local businesses and government agencies. Our meetings support the department’s mission to protect Florida’s natural resources together.

By providing this regular program, DEP offers attendees the opportunity to learn, network and share information with guest speakers who provide channels for expert discussion with our regulated and non-regulated communities.
