🎙️ Introducing the Captains For Clean Water Podcast

Episode 1: The Rock Mine No One Asked For—Listen or watch on your favorite platform

For years, we’ve talked about creating a podcast—something that could go beyond the surface and dig deeper into the complex, often messy realities behind Florida’s water crisis. That time is now.

The recent approval of Big Sugar’s Southland rock mine in Palm Beach County was a wake-up call. It showed us just how urgent and layered these issues have become—and why long-form content is essential to telling the full story. Social posts and soundbites just can’t capture the nuance, corruption, and stakes involved.

That’s why we’re launching the Captains For Clean Water podcast. It’s a new platform to share honest conversations, expose what’s really happening behind the scenes, and give our supporters the context they’ve been asking for.

🎧 About Episode 1

This first episode is a deep dive into the Southland rock mine proposal—one of the most serious environmental threats facing Florida right now. We break down:

  • How the project was quietly fast-tracked through approvals

  • The role of Big Sugar and government contractors like Phillips & Jordan

  • Strategic language, misinformation, and backroom politics

  • What’s at stake for our waters, our communities, and the future of the Everglades

From Christmas Eve filings to coordinated confusion, this is the untold story the public needs to hear.

If you care about clean water, government accountability, or the long-term health of Florida’s ecosystems—this is where the fight is happening.

We believe this project can still be stopped. But it’s going to take all of us, informed and united, to make that happen. Thanks for standing with us.
