Captain’s Perspective

In this video, Captain Nico Garcia gives us an insight into the importance of sending freshwater South into Florida’s saltwater marshes. The Captain explains how important it is for the government to take action on a growing issue that is destroying millions of acres in fisheries and wildlife habitat. The loss of habitat is strictly due to the reverting of the historic water flow that has been in Florida for centuries. Nico touches on the importance of our freshwater and why canal systems need to be re-engineered. South Florida’s ecosystem is one of a kind and must be protected at all costs.
