People and Merfolk from all over the world go to Ginnie Springs to enjoy the springs, camp, spend time in nature and get amazing photos.
Many don't know that these springs are being exploited every day by the same campground surrounding them.
This exploitation has been happening for over 20 years and needs to stop!
Join the Guardian of the Springs, the Florida Springs Council, Our Santa Fe River and the Florida Springs Institute to learn the ins and outs of this topic.
