Beginning in the late 1980's, the fight over water rights in the ACF Basin has reached its end, at least in the Supreme Court. After decades of deliberation and millions spent in legal fees, the United States Supreme Court has ruled Florida failed to prove Georgia's water consumption damaged the oyster fishery in Apalachicola Bay. The Court went on to recognize Georgia's efforts over the last 30 years to improve water conservation and sharing but warned Georgia this must be continued, regardless of the state's victory in this case.

The mission of Flint Riverkeeper is to restore and preserve the habitat, water quality, and flow of the Flint River for the benefit of current and future generations and dependent wildlife. A considerable amount of FRk resources have been devoted to ensuring proper water-sharing in the ACF Basin since our founding and this will continue going forward. Us here at FRk do not view this as a "win" or a "loss" but are instead glad to see the case come to end so that all stakeholders can move forward and take advantage of the other ample opportunities to improve the sharing of surface water resources.
