How Can I Do Better And Have More Enjoyment? My Guest: St. Johns Riverkeeper

Schmooze with Suze

In the early 2000s I worked near South Street Seaport in NYC. Each day I would take my lunch overlooking the East River- the Brooklyn, Manhattan and Williamsburg bridges visible from my office. A decade later, based on the upper west side, every day instead of lunch, I would lace up my sneakers, and run along the Hudson River. The water propelled me with its energy- its life.
My father arrived by boat on it and Lady Liberty waved from it. But what did I know about rivers... And how often did I think about taking care of it?
And that’s what we are going to tackle today...
It’s been nearly a decade since my arrival here, and the ICONIC St. Johns River serves as the heart of Jacksonville, providing both majestic views and purpose for both residents and visitors. As the state’s longest river, the St. Johns River is also a centerpiece connecting history, fishing, transportation, and more into the personality of Northeast Florida.
As the St. Johns Riverkeeper, Lisa Rinaman- with her dedicated team- serves as the chief advocate and public’s voice for the St. Johns River. St. Johns Riverkeeper is a privately-funded, independent and trusted voice for the St. Johns River and the public to whom it belongs. They are a 501(c)(3) organization and rely on the support of members, donors, and volunteers to accomplish their mission.
