Captains For Clean Water urges Big Sugar to drop their lawsuit over the EAA Reservoir

As part of our new campaign urging Big Sugar to drop their lawsuit over the use of a critical Everglades Restoration project, we’re launching a short film that breaks down the lawsuit and explains exactly what’s on the line for the future of south Florida’s waters.

Throughout the last week, we’ve gained widespread support across various industries and sectors, including outdoor brands, tourism-driven businesses, environmental organizations, celebrity anglers and social media influencers. We have over 11,000 petition signatures in just one week, and we’re committed to keeping the momentum going on this movement by digging down to the bottom of Big Sugar’s lawsuit and hearing from experts in our new film.

The EAA reservoir—a keystone Everglades restoration project intended to:

• help maintain Lake Okeechobee at healthier levels
• restore the ecology of the Everglades
• balance salinities in Florida Bay
• recharge the aquifer that provides drinking water for millions of Floridians
• mitigate the harmful lake discharges that devastate Florida’s economy and coastal ecosystems
