Florida is best known for its beaches, the Everglades, Disney, and big cities like Miami, but the state also possesses some of the highest densities of springs in North America. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, some of these springs were famous destinations for travelers from northern states, some for novelty and others for purported health benefits. After the spread of air conditioning and personal swimming pools, the draw of springs declined and now new residents in the state may know little about them. These new residents may be impacting the springs without their knowledge as the water that emanates from spring vents originates from rainwater percolating into the aquifer throughout the springshed, which may be many square kilometers and heavily populated. Population growth and the association increase in impermeable surfaces throughout many springsheds have resulted in reductions in percolation with concomitant declines in spring discharge. At the same time, decades of land use have resulted in accumulation of chemicals like nitrogen. Florida springs have been heavily studied for discharge and water chemistry management, but ecological studies have been rare and much of the communication about these studies has been among managers and academics. Therefore, the purpose of this work was to communicate the beauty of and stresses upon Florida springs by showing the results of an ecological study in a readily available format. The communication took the form of a blog that included photos, videos (often with music), and text that describes these wondrous places, but also shows the reduced macrophyte populations of some springs and the abundant algae beds that dominate most springs. This work was intended to bridge the gap between the academic and the visual to better reach the public.
