The Future
We're looking forward to completing our largest area restoration in 2018. Our goal: restore 92.4 acres by the end of 2023. We're making great progress, and we're picking up speed.
Taking Care of Your Bottom
The bottom of our rivers is the base of the ecosystem. We have to "protect our bottoms" to ensure the health of it and the creatures who live there.
Three Sisters Springs Neighborhood
We moved our equipment down the road to work on the canals near world famous Three Sisters Springs, a US Fish and Wildlife Preserve. Each winter hundreds of West Indian Manatees come to these waters. Save Crystal RIver is planting food.

Stormwater Runoff Effects Kings Bay
Do you wonder where rainfall goes after it hits the ground? Rain that falls near Kings Bay, reaches the Bay pretty fast, and takes with it fertilizer and other pollutants. Learn to minimize your impact.
Exploring the Science Behind the Project
We aren't the only ones who want to see our waters restored. We're reaching out to others who can help, and showing them how our approach delivers a clean environment and clean economy. Kings Bay Restoration is a win for man and beast we can share.
Restoration Underway
With the Pilot project showing positive results, the next step was to gear up activity for the next step - increasingly larger areas of the Bay restored each year.
Pilot Project a Success!
With a good idea of what to do to get Kings Bay on the way to health, the 2015 pilot project was undertaken. Three years later, it's an unqualified success.
How We Got Started
A group of dedicated citizens change what a salt water disaster and 20 years of algae gone wild created. Save Crystal River, a 501(c)3 took on the restoration challenge, and is producing some pretty amazing results.
