Not exactly news to anyone. There was a thread sometime ago on this topic and all its ramifications. But this is the first report I've seen that lists the St. Johns River as 1 of 10 endangered and it google maps where the others are located. Interesting!

Wow. Number 6! I wonder what ever happened with big debate on us diverting water to the Orlando area, IMO that would set us back more.

Ugh!

Here's a tidbit, only ONE of the Top Ten Most Endangered Rivers is also an American Heritage River.....you guessed it.....The Saint Johns . What a shame.

Our local Riverkeepers are at the forefront of the river issues, they have a website and a blog:
