TALLAHASSEE, Fla. AP – A federal plan to reduce water flows in the Apalachicola River won’t irreversibly doom four federally protected species, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said Monday.
Flows in the Panhandle river are being reduced as part of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers drought management plans that keep more water upstream in Georgia. One plan is expiring, but the Corps has a new plan going into effect.
