Every single person who lives in your neighborhood has an impact on the health of Kings Bay and Crystal River. The closer you are to the water, the bigger the impact. The most important thing to know is that you and every resident has an interest in and responsibility to do what they can and there’s a lot you can do!

Remember, it’s all about the SPRINGS:

Save – Help protect the hard work and new eelgrass plants by avoiding the use of boat anchors and watch for prop damage in these grass beds. Let others know, too.

Protect – Volunteer with Save Crystal River – Whether removing algae, planting eel grass or helping with outreach, there are plenty of ways you can contribute when you volunteer with us. Email us today. Describe your skills. We’ll find a way for you to join our cause. 

Research – Visit SaveCrystalRiver.com and KingsBayRestorationProject.com to learn more.

Interest – Help us gain interest from local and state leaders. Write letters of support to your local newspaper and also send them to us! We need all of the help and support we can get to raise awareness and receive additional funding for this project.

Nitrogen and Phosphorus  – Don’t use fertilizer on your lawns that back up to the water. Algae blooms when Nitrogen is plentiful in the water. Nitrogen is one of the main ingredients in all fertilizers and your lawn really doesn’t need it. Save money! Don’t use fertilizer. Also, pick-up any pet waste, so it too will not go into our beautiful springs.

Give – Donate to SCR to help us reach our goal of a clean Kings Bay by 2023 – Crystal River’s Centennial Anniversary
