Episode 218: The Kissimmee River
Manage episode 435183160 series 2833560
Florida's estuaries are warming faster than the Gulf of Mexico or Atlantic Ocean.
Doug Alderson kayaked down the Kissimmee River twice, once in 2007 and again in 2024. He wrote about those experiences as well as the river's historic importance to Florida, it's channelizing in the 1960s, and restoration efforts to renaturalize it beginning in the 1990s, in his book "New Dawn for the Kissimmee River: Orlando to Okeechobee by Kayak."
