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.

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.
