Official Release – 2020 State of the River Report

This is the official release of the 13th annual report that describes the health of the Lower St. Johns River Basin. Normally done at the JEPB Environmental Symposium, the release is going virtual this year.

The report looks at the current status and historic trends for a number of river health indicators, including aquatic life, water quality, fisheries and contaminants. The report is funded by the Jacksonville Environmental Protection Board. Jacksonville University leads the scientific team that prepares the report. The virtual presentation will be produced by WJCT Public Media.
