Former Florida Governor,
Jeb Bush
Recognizing the Gulf of Mexico's significance beyond Florida's waters, Florida Governor Jeb Bush, in the spring of 2004, extended a call to action to the Gulf Governors to renew their commitment to the nation's oceans, by creating and leading a regional effort to protect the Gulf of Mexico. Governor Bush's initiative led to the formation of the Gulf of Mexico Alliance between Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas.

Today, the Alliance is setting an example by sharing science, expertise and financial resources to better protect the health of this complex ecosystem that is the Gulf of Mexico while securing a lasting underwater legacy for future generations.
