Wakulla Springs

It’s being called a huge win for Florida’s environment.

Scientists had long suspected a link between the Wakulla and Chip's Hole cave systems.

For a century, the glass bottom boat tours at Wakulla Springs celebrated Florida’s seemingly endless depths of clean, clear water. With the water too murky to see through the glass, the boats are no longer running regularly — a symbol of the pollution plaguing the state’s freshwater and the cascade of consequences to come.
