RODMAN DAM MUST COME DOWN

Food Travel USA with Elizabeth Dougherty Album: The TRUTH About Food and Travel 062325 Episode #:  Original Broadcast Date: 06/23/2025 Buried deep in the forests of North Central Florida lies a relic of environmental destruction—Rodman Dam. Built in the 1960s as part of the failed Cross Florida Barge Cana; project, the dam submerged 9,000 acres of pristine springs, wetlands, and ancient forest. Today, the dam still blocks the natural flow of the Ocklawaha River, cutting off manatees, fish, and water circulation from the St. Johns. In this week's travel feature, Elizabeth traces the history of the dam’s controversial origin, exposes the corruption behind its continued maintenance, and highlights the bipartisan call for its removal. Despite decades of science showing the damage it causes, a small but powerful group of interests keeps it in place. This isn’t just about one dam—it’s about whether Florida will prioritize tourism gimmicks or embrace and protect its natural heritage. Elizabeth takes you to the river—and dares you to look upstream.
