Dr. Gerard Pinto reported current water temperatures around 70 degrees and higher than normal salinity due to a six-inch rainfall deficit. While no new data on algae blooms is currently available, new samples are expected soon. Microcystis algae, a type of blue-green algae that produces a liver toxin, has been observed moving northward from Crescent Lake and Lake George and is anticipated to reach Jacksonville as water temperatures rise to 80 degrees. The item also noted two recent manatee deaths, one near Quarantine Island and a perinatal death in Goodby’s Creek. This situation is currently pending review by the Jacksonville Waterways Commission.

Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in environmental monitoring, water quality testing, and related fields should monitor this developing situation. Early engagement with the Jacksonville Waterways Commission and relevant environmental agencies could provide insight into future needs and opportunities as this issue progresses.

Kay Ehas, CEO of Groundwork Jacksonville, presented on the Emerald Trail Project and the McCoy's Creek Restoration.
Groundwork Jacksonville is advancing the Emerald Trail Project, specifically focusing on the McCoy's Creek Restoration. This project involves natural stream design, floodplain expansion, daylighting a buried creek, and widening and raising bridges at King and Stockton Streets. The work aims to reduce flooding by two feet and remove homes and businesses from flood risk. Current phases include ongoing construction of the creek's headwaters, completion of Phase 1 restoration and Phase 2 outfall, with the remainder of Phase 2 in the design phase. Continued work is planned through 2027, with potential for floating wetlands. This initiative presents opportunities for contractors in site preparation, grading, concrete and masonry, bridge work, utility installation, and environmental remediation, as well as suppliers of construction materials. Engaging early before final bids and permits are set could provide a competitive advantage.

Lisa Rinaman, St. Johns Riverkeeper, discussed the blue-green algae referenced earlier by Dr. Pinto before beginning her presentation. Ms. Rinaman stated that her team had been on the St. Johns River in Georgetown, just north of Lake George, approximately 100 miles upriver, and had found signs of an active outbreak of bacteria.
The St. Johns Riverkeeper is working with colleagues on the St. Johns River to ensure citizen oversight and participation in the rulemaking process. This follows recent legislative action that prohibits the transportation of biosolids from South Florida to North Florida by 2028 and establishes regulatory guardrails for Class AA pollution. Mandatory quarterly PFAS sampling at utilities was also passed. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection is building a St. Johns River watershed-wide nutrient pollution model, which is important because 80% of nutrient pollution in Duval County's St. Johns River comes from upstream sources. This item is currently under review as part of the public process. The work will involve developing and implementing new regulations and monitoring programs. This early stage presents an opportunity for legal services, environmental consulting, and potentially data management and analysis providers to engage with the St. Johns Riverkeeper and other stakeholders before specific plans and contracts are finalized.

Melissa Long, Chief of the Environmental Quality Division, presented a summary of the bill. Ms. Long stated that the bill appropriated grant funding from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission for the removal of four derelict vessels located in the Ribault River, Trout River, where Clapboard Creek and Cedar Point Creek meet, and near the Jacksonville University campus.
The Jacksonville Waterways Commission has approved a project to remove four derelict vessels from local waterways. The project is funded by a grant from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. Vessels will be removed from the Ribault River, the Trout River, and areas where Clapboard Creek and Cedar Point Creek meet, as well as near Jacksonville University. This project is planned and has received unanimous approval, indicating it is in the early stages of the public process. The scope of work will likely involve site assessment, specialized marine salvage operations for vessel removal, and potentially disposal or recycling of the removed materials. This early stage presents an opportunity for marine salvage contractors, waste disposal services, and equipment suppliers to engage before final plans and permits are issued. Early involvement can help businesses position themselves for potential contracts related to this environmental cleanup effort.
