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.
