This photo is an aerial view of Turner River Road looking south where it intersects with US41. The headwater pools that feed into Turner River are visible in the center of the photo. The road and adjacent canal historically severed flows from the Turner River.
Restoration work in 1989 and 1996 re-established flows in the river. However, this work directly water directly into the river channel, and did not replenish flows into the rivers headwater wetlands farther north.
This situation can be rectified by strategically adding a few additional culverts under Turner River Road to the north.
