ABOUT US
Cleaning Florida's waterways and natural lands since 1993
WHO WE ARE
In Florida, every square foot of land directly impacts the health of our drinking water resource (the underground aquifer system) and the ocean. It's very simple to take steps to preserve the quality of those precious bodies of water. A part of being a citizen on this planet is caring for those downstream from me- what kind of world am I leaving for those impacted by my actions? We can start by removing waste that leaches chemicals into our waterways and preventing future waste.
Current Problems was established in 1993 when a small group of friends began working together to clean up the debris and contaminants in and along the banks of north Florida’s Santa Fe River. Twenty seven years later, this grassroots organization has expanded its focus to include urban creeks, rivers, ponds and lakes throughout north central Florida.

Twenty five years later, this grassroots organization has expanded its focus to include urban creeks, rivers, ponds and lakes throughout north central Florida. Not only do we hold cleanups, but we provide educational materials and outreach to the public in an effort to improve water quality in our area.
