According to the Directory of Florida Environmental Schools & Programs (
(http://www.enviroeducation.com/states/florida-environmental-schools-programs.html): "Florida, one of the largest and most populous states in the nation, is also host to myriad environmental issues - wetlands rebuilding, endangered species conservation (and what to once those species become pests - we're talking to you, alligators), water resources management, agriculture, and much more.
Florida has several fine institutions offering degrees in all disciplines, though most notably in marine sciences, natural resource management, forestry, and conservation biology. Students can pursue internships and jobs at the federal (NOAA and FEMA are prominent there), state, local/grassroots, and non-profit levels - and of course in the business arena as well."
