A historic cornerstone of commerce and resources, Florida's longest river begins its journey from Brevard County's marshlands, to Jacksonville, where it spills into the Atlantic Ocean. The river was once the home of numerous Native American tribes, including the Seminoles and Timuca. It remained largely undeveloped until the 20th Century, when it witnessed a rapid development that paved the way for progress, a booming population, and along with it, pollution. Despite its recent concerns about its deterioration, the river's middle and upper basins continue to teem with diverse flora and fauna, and it is also frequently visited by birds like the American white ibis, the Barred Owl, and the wood stork.
