The web production, www.TheRiverReturns.org,
takes site visitors on a photo-documentary journey to learn about scientists
monitoring the river's health, river-side farmers growing crops that require
less fertilizer, citizens promoting landscaping with native plants, and
even a biologist monitoring a lone whooping crane that has taken up residence
in the St. Johns River's headwaters. The site also includes multi-media
stories introducing people like Adam Delaney, a bass fishing guide who
helps others catch the river's legendary largemouth bass, and Wayne Hartley,
a park ranger who has been monitoring manatees at Blue Spring State Park
for 25 years.
TheRiverReturns.org,
is a companion to the High Definition television documentary "Water's Journey:
The River Returns," which begins airing this month on public television
stations in Florida and throughout the nation.
Other features include a preview
of the film, an interactive "History of the St. Johns River" and the "Florida-Friendly
Farm," an illustrated, animation that explains the environmental benefits
of implementing agricultural Best Management Practices, methods used to
conserve water and minimize runoff of fertilizers and pesticides into the
river.
The longest river in Florida,
the St. Johns begins in a flat marsh west of Vero Beach and then meanders
slowly northward on its way toward Jacksonville. The river's watershed
includes all or parts of 16 counties in central and northeastern Florida.
One of 14 American Heritage Rivers in the U.S., the St. Johns natural beauty
attracted the likes of botanist John Bartram and naturalist and artist
James Audubon and served as inspiration for literary works of Marjorie
Kinnan Rawlings (Cross Creek and the Yearling) and Harriet Beecher Stowe
(Uncle Tom's Cabin). Today, like many major rivers in the U.S., development
pressures, polluted stormwater runoff, discharge from industrial and power
facilities and wastewater treatment plants heavily impact the St. Johns.
TheRiverReturns.org film and
web documentaries were produced with support from the St. Johns River Water
Management District, the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services,
Florida Department of Environmental Protection and the Florida Department
of Education. For further details contact Kevin T. Sparkman, Producer,

"URLwire is
without question the most effective way to tell the right people in the
online world about your web site"

I received
coverage (and links!) from key sites and in e-newsletters, one of which
had over 500,000 readers. Resulting traffic has been more than impressive.
