Photo by @CarltonWard | The Saint Johns River is the longest river in Florida, flowing 310 miles from marshy headwaters southeast of Orlando northward to the Atlantic Ocean near Jacksonville. The elevation change from source to sea is only 30 feet, an average slope of just over one inch per mile. The river swells into several wide lakes, including Puzzle Lake, shown in this aerial. Florida has 12 million acres of designated wetlands, the most of any state other than Alaska. Efforts to protect wetlands, including the Everglades, St. Johns, and Suwannee, have laid the foundation for the statewide Florida Wildlife Corridor. I paddled through Puzzle Lake during the 2012 Florida Wildlife Corridor Expedition (supported by @insidenatgeo), which worked to raise awareness of the importance of keeping green space connected. This week's ruling by the Trump Administration to roll back protections of wetlands under the Clean Water Act exposes nearly 6 million acres of Florida wetlands to reclassification and potentially greater risk. Florida averages 50 inches of rain per year, most falling in the summer wet season, when much of the state's 40 million acres act as wetlands. When it comes to conservation in Florida, it needs to be land and water, because land and water here are so closely connected. #FloridaWildlifeCorridor #FloridaWild #KeepFLWild @natgeoimagecollection @FL_WildCorridor #pathofthepanther
