Sacred Waters: Exploring the Protection of Florida’s Fluid Landscapes

This presentation explores efforts to restore Florida’s waterways. We will investigate the

motivations of environmentalists who love and advocate for these water bodies. By focusing

on issues related to springs and the Everglades, we will dive into the conversations that arise

when Floridians view water as essential to their quality of life.
