Fenn Holloway River Water Quality Assessment

The video discusses a major initiative started in 1990 to improve the water quality of the Finn Holloway River. It details the collaboration with Florida's Department of Environmental Protection and the EPA to achieve fishable and swimmable standards. The video covers the monitoring of various parameters, including dissolved oxygen and nutrient levels, and the presence of different seagrass species. Significant improvements in effluent quality have been achieved, with reductions in biological oxygen demand, suspended solids, phosphorus, and ammonia nitrogen. Future projects include oxygen delignification, brown stock washing modernization, and converting the effluent treatment system. The final goal is to meet all water quality standards and complete the restoration of the river system.
