This Earth Day, meet Captains for Clean Water, a nonprofit fighting to restore and protect Florida water resources through awareness, education, and advocacy.
Agricultural development has polluted Florida’s waterways for decades, threatening wildlife and the fishing industry. Anglers and outdoor lovers like Wittman and Columbia Ambassador Wesley Locke are on a mission to help save this precious resource.
Fed up with Florida’s water mismanagement, in 2016 a crew of fishing guides united under Captains for Clean Water to restore areas in and around the Everglades.
Damage to this ecosystem is connected to toxic algae tides, loss of drinking water, and mass fish kills.
