The Captain's Log Radio

In this episode, I sit down with Bryn Adams and Joe Balog from the Non Profit organization, Mighty River Recovery to talk about their mission to restore and protect the St. Johns River. We dive deep into what’s really happening to the St. Johns River, why water quality has declined, how pollution and runoff are impacting fish populations, and what it will take to bring this historic Florida river back to life. Bryn and Joe break down the science behind river restoration, explain the grassroots efforts behind Mighty River Recovery, and share how anglers, boaters, and everyday Floridians can make a real difference. As someone who spends time on the water, this conversation hit home. The St. Johns River isn’t just a body of water — it’s part of Florida’s identity. Whether you’re into bass fishing, conservation, boating, or just care about Florida’s natural resources, this is a discussion you need to hear. We cover: The current state of the St. Johns River Algae blooms and nutrient pollution Fishery health and bass fishing impact Conservation efforts in Florida How Mighty River Recovery is driving change What YOU can do to help If you care about Florida fishing, clean water, conservation, and protecting our fisheries for the next generation, make sure to watch, like, and subscribe.
