How will restoration of the Ocklawaha River impact water quality in central Florida? We cut through the narrative to give you transparent information led by data.

How will restoration of the Ocklawaha River impact fish, wildlife and their habitat? Our discussion is led by science, not an agenda.

Our research indicates three primary factors leading to declines along the St. Johns River. Here’s what we’re working on in 2026.

As 2025 comes to a close, we wanted to take time to update you on our progress over the last year.

After years of dialogue, the Florida FWC has agreed to a joint research project headed by Mighty River Recovery. This Citizen Enclosure Project (CEP) will be our chance to determine - with full transparency - the issues affecting the St. Johns River.

So we all want to see an alternative to “spraying”, but how do we get there?

The primary concern of Mighty River Recovery, in regard to practices of the USACE, centers on invasive plant control through herbicide application, aka “spraying.” Herbicide application continues to be the primary method used by the USACE to control plants like water hyacinth, water lettuce and Alligator weed.

Nowhere else can you turn for such real, transparent information on the behind-the-scenes actions of Florida’s freshwater managers.

Until we understand this principle, we’re just creating more retention ponds.
