FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS
We are committed to restore and protect the beauty and health of Crystal River and Florida’s waterways for future generations. JOIN IN THE MISSION
Mission Statement: Save Crystal River's mission is to restore and protect the beauty and health of Crystal River and Florida's waterways for future generations. We are dedicated to creating thriving ecosystems in Crystal River and other waterways by combating issues like invasive algae and restoring native seagrass meadows. We emphasize community collaboration and engagement to achieve our goals and actively engage in public outreach and education to raise awareness about the importance of our work to ensure a healthy environment for marine life, including manatees and scallops, and preserving the natural beauty of the area.
“Save Crystal River is a model for the rest of the state of Florida!”
- Wilton Simpson, Florida's Commissioner of Agriculture

We successfully achieved our initial goal to restore 100 acres in Phases 1-5 of Kings Bay by July 2023. We are now working toward the next goal to restore an additional 85 acres in Phases 5-7. Together, we can Save Crystal River!
After every acre is replanted, the mission does not end, but rather starts again. We must protect our waters through Responsible Anchoring and Education to ensure we preserve our waterways for future generations and a better tomorrow.
