One careless anchor drop can damage the seagrass that supports cleaner water, healthier habitat and the wildlife that call Kings Bay home.

64+ million gallons of freshwater. Every single day.

That’s how much flows through the springs that feed Kings Bay, supporting seagrass, wildlife and the ecosystem that makes Crystal River unique.

This year was our 10th Annual Eelgrass Planting Day at Hunter Springs Park! Every year in May, students plant eelgrass and participate in hands-on activities designed to connect them to the waterway they see every day.

This day of conservation demonstrates how classroom-based learning can give young people a direct role in protecting the community they grew up in. The event also highlighted the strength of local partnerships, uniting students, volunteers, businesses, and agencies in a shared commitment to the long-term health of Kings Bay.

When we restore springs, seagrass and shorelines, we're not replacing nature. We're helping King's Bay ecosystem do what it was always designed to do.💙
