Message from Governor Crist

As Governor, I am focused on doing everything humanly possible to prepare and protect our state from the potentially devastating affects of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. As a Floridian who enjoys spending time on our state’s beautiful beaches and coastal waters, I understand the important connection between our natural resources and Florida’s economic future.

I want to thank the members of the Gulf Oil Spill Economic Recovery Task Force for working together as Floridians to continue moving Florida’s fishing, charterboat and tourism industries forward in a positive way. Florida is open for business. We invite families, businesses and travelers to come enjoy our beautiful state!
