Florida bay Forever
Our story begins in 2016 in the aftermath of a devastating seagrass die-off on Florida Bay. With 40,000 acres of seagrass lost, a group of dedicated Florida Keys residents came together to demand change for Florida Bay. After decades of water mismanagement, lagging Everglades restoration efforts, and a lack of political will, Florida Bay was left parched and vulnerable to collapse.

Historic
Water Flow
Historically, water from the Kissimmee River Basin flowed South, overflowing Lake Okeechobee, to continue to the southern shores of the state and into Florida Bay.
Current
Water Flow
Population growth, farming, and urban development disrupted historic water flow. Today, Lake Okeechobee is diked. When levels get too high, water is dumped east and west to tide, while the Florida Bay waits for rain.
