Yesterday, we voiced our concerns at the @sfwmd_gov's first public hearing on Big Sugar's controversial Southland rock mine project.⁠ ⁠ Despite the PBC Commission's premature approval last week, opposition to the mine was loud and clear. ⁠ ⁠ Environmental advocates, concerned residents, and community leaders from across south Florida showed up and spoke out—exposing deep flaws in the process and demanding accountability for a project that threatens our waterways, communities, and public trust.⁠

The @sfwmd_gov held their FIRST public meeting on Big Sugar’s proposed rock mine today, one week after it was approved by the Palm Beach County Commissioners. Opposition was strong and widespread, not only from environmental groups but also from concerned residents throughout south Florida. We’re not going to let this thing slip through the cracks—we’re going to keep fighting it. Stay tuned, more to come. | Captains For Clean Water

Big Sugar’s Southland rock mine was a big topic at this morning’s @sfwmd_gov meeting. For the first time, it became clear that some governing board members were beginning to see through the misinformation and deception surrounding this deeply flawed proposal. There's a lot to unpack, stay tuned. | Captains For Clean Water

Phillips & Jordan might wanna slow their roll... For months, we’ve been calling out the applicant (Phillips & Jordan) for misrepresenting this project as a “water resource project” approved by @sfwmd_gov, yet they continue to lobby it as such. It was made abundantly clear at yesterday’s @sfwmd_gov governing board meeting that the district is NOT on the same page as the applicant. We could see the governing board beginning to recognize that this proposal may have been manipulated from the start—a

40 miles of the Kissimmee River was restored to its historic channels in a project costing almost 1 billion dollars and lasting 22 years to reverse an erroneous flood control project that dug a 55 mile long channel. Completed in 2021, efforts continue to improve the hydrology and restoration of wildlife and vegetation. In 2023, a paddling trail was established by the Florida Paddling Trails Association with campsites spaced along the 70 mile long river. #KissimmeeRiver #KissimeeRiverPaddlingTrai
