Call to Action!

The Army of Corps of Engineers have increased the discharges into the St. Lucie estuary! The St. Lucie cries for your involvement and desperately needs your help. Please join us as we mobilize as a community to put an end once and for all to this terrible injustice.

Current hydrology updates will be presented by Dr. Paul Gray from Audubon of Florida and Mark Perry, Executive Director of Florida Oceanographic Society.

Rivers Coalition public meetings are held at the city of Stuart commission chambers, 121 SW Flagler Ave. Plenty of parking. Come show your support!

The River Has a Voice and It Is Yours!

SPEAK UP FOR THE RIVER! Sign our petition, let your voice be heard!

Let's Restore the Florida Everglades! 

Stop Wasteful, Harmful Discharges to Sea. Send Excess Lake Okeechobee Water South instead of destroying our Coastal Estuaries.

We petitioners urgently ask that government agencies stop discharging unnatural flows from Lake Okeechobee into the St. Lucie River and restore the historic River of Grass southward.

Please pass along to everyone you know!
