Rivertrek 2012

Adventure and crisis on the Apalachicola: watch the conclusion of RiverTrek 2012. As the River and Bay face a major shortage of fresh water, eleven paddlers make their way down the entire river to raise awareness.

Apalachicola Bay is in trouble, and people need answers now. Dr. David Kimbro discusses the difference between science for the sake of gaining understanding, and applied science: where researchers try to solve specific problems.

In Part 1 (of 2) of RiverTrek 2012, eleven paddlers head down the Apalachicola River. Within the first two days, they find themselves climbing down into caves and scaling bluffs as they get to know the area around the river as well.

The Army Corps of Engineers came to Apalachicola Bay to see the state of the oyster fishery firsthand. On RiverTrek 2012, paddlers learned about the effects of low flow from the Apalachicola River on the Bay and the Floodplain. Part 1 of that adventure airs tonight, Wednesday, October 24.

RiverTrek 2012 is over, and we’ve gotten all the posts up that we couldn’t due to connectivity in remote places along the river. And, there are videos to come!
