“The Siren and the Springs” takes audiences into the world of Florida’s incredible artesian springs systems. Over 1,000 springs gush forth their crystal-clear contents, creating magical landscapes and biodiverse habitats unique to the world. The largest concentration of artesian springs can be found here.

Natural history filmmaker Richard Kern explores the hydrogeology of our aquifers and springs, diving in…quite literally…to the source of our drinking water. Lush eelgrass beds, diving birds, turtles and of course, the universally loved Florida manatee are all important pieces of the ecological puzzle of Florida’s freshwater springs.
