Friends, colleagues and benefactors gathered at the Landing last week to watch the St. Johns Riverkeeper christen a new motor. Intended for its pollution control boat, the motor was purchased with the help of local non-profits and attorney Wayne Hogan.
“When our old motor died, we didn’t have any money budgeted for a new one,” said Riverkeeper executive director Jimmy Orth. “Thanks to these individuals we will be able to continue our efforts to preserve the St. Johns River, which is one of the most valuable resources in the community and in the state of Florida.”
