Stories from the Apalachicola: An Endangered River

- WFSU presents a production of the Florida State University College of Communication and Information. Stories from the Apalachicola is the result of an interdisciplinary effort called the Apalachicola River Project.
Students in Digital Media Production, Media and Communication Studies, English and Environmental Science and Policy partnered with Apalachicola Riverkeeper, a nonprofit group dedicated to preserving and restoring the Apalachicola River, its bay and watersheds. The group provided boats and kayaks so students could navigate the river to collect water and soil samples, record video and write stories about the effects of reduced water flow on the oyster industry, fishing and the delicate ecosystem.
Students interviewed oystermen, beekeepers, legislators, historians, biologists, and the Riverkeeper, each with their own perspective on this critical time for the Apalachicola. Freshwater flows on the Apalachicola have been altered for decades, as the Army Corps of Engineers has restricted flows during droughts and modified the river channel create a shipping lane for barges. This has caused a decline in tupelo and other trees in the floodplain forest. And in 2012, during the lowest flow period ever recorded for the river, the Apalachicola Bay oyster fishery crashed.
Communities along the river and bay look towards a future where the river might not provide for them as it did in generations past.

I've been All over this and soo amazed by the people who live there.
Wow Absolutely so good content👍✌️🤗💟🇵🇰
I want my Apalachicola Bay oysters back. Now!!!
Oh yes please!
Support the group, “Baysavers Florida”…they know how to do it, it’s just a matter of the government doing it.
fight the Power...stop urban sprawl!!
Honda and Yamaha motors on their boats,lol
In your so called efforts to protect an estuary you have almost wiped out the commercial oyster man.
You missed the point of the video. You might want to watch it again.
I assumed that this was greatly improved as there has been much more rain here in Georgia over the last several years. Get this again in the news!!
The moment the decision was made to stop barge traffic on the river it was the beginning of the end for the bay.
As for fishermen … farmers ……don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Just like any industry Especially when your eggs are based off the population density of Georgia and basically ATL is the biggest issue. You can’t change how big Atlanta will continue to be that city and the others north of where your ar is far more important to AMERICANS the Oysters or bee hives off the river . I keep saying ATL because it’s on the same level as NYC and Houston, LA as growing
What they think of Yankees comin' down to visit and such, huh ? 🤪🤪😜
I hate atlanta
With all due respect, blacks were called blacks - not African-Americans or any other hyphenated Americans. Keep the political correctness out of legitimate history.
No we were not black isn't even really a color it's the essence in which all colors come from. Most of us here in America did not come from Africa; our ancestors were already here! An those Native Americans you see now are the descendants of Mongolians that migrated from Siberia $5 pretindians. We know who we are stop playing with us please
Right they are Americans just like you and I.
