Advocating for Geology at the Capitol and in Our Communities
The Florida Association of Professional Geologists (FAPG) serves as the leading voice for geologists in Florida’s policy landscape. Our mission includes protecting professional licensure, ensuring geologists have representation in environmental and infrastructure policy, and promoting the economic and societal value of geoscience across the state.
Through direct engagement with legislators, regulatory agencies, and allied organizations, FAPG advocates for policies that recognize the essential role of geology in safeguarding Florida’s people, natural resources, and built environment.
Florida Geologists Political Committee (FGPC)
FAPG’s advocacy efforts are supported by the Florida Geologists Political Committee (FGPC), a registered political committee dedicated to advancing sound science-based policy and defending professional standards within the field of geology.
With the support of FGPC, we are able to:
-
Monitor and influence state legislation that affects geologists and environmental protections
-
Provide expert testimony before legislative committees and regulatory boards
-
Organize Lobby Day, stakeholder meetings, and coordinated advocacy campaigns
-
Build relationships with lawmakers who value scientific integrity and public safety
-
Respond quickly and effectively to any legislative threat to licensure or public interest protections
Your contribution to FGPC directly strengthens our ability to maintain a visible and credible presence at the Capitol.
Why Advocacy Matters
Florida’s unique geology underpins every aspect of life in the state—from clean water and infrastructure to hazard mitigation and land use planning. Despite this, geologists are often excluded from the legislative and regulatory conversations that shape these critical areas.
FAPG is committed to ensuring that licensed geologists are not only represented, but actively engaged in the development of policy that affects Florida’s future. Our advocacy safeguards professional standards, promotes public safety, and elevates the value of geoscience in public decision-making.
