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.
UPCOMING IN SEPTEMBER

Information on this years activities coming soon! We’ll see you on the waterfront!
