The Upper St. Johns River Basin Project was a large wetland restoration project aimed at reviving the headwaters of Florida’s (USA) longest river—the northward flowing St. Johns. Thirty years of efforts by state and federal water managers to revive a big swath of freshwater marshes in east-central Florida were recognised by this award.
