Interez: Florida waterway protection makes an impression in Slovakia-5/19/2021
On May 8th, Interez published the article titled “Rivers and lakes have been given their rights. They are now suing developers over the construction of a new residential area”. Martin Kalincak begins exploring the work of the enforcement lawsuit in Florida with a unique Slovakian perspective. He begins with:
“Several of the following sentences will come strangely, but we will disappoint you – it is not a myth. In Florida, a network of streams, lakes, and wetlands is on trial with the state and a construction developer who plan to build a new family home building on their territory. Life can write the craziest and most bizarre stories of all. “
Don’t let the hesitancy or initial shock fool you: this article provides a concise introduction to the work being done in Orange County, FL through Chuck O’Neals’ representation of the plaintiffs: Boggy Branch River, Crosby Islan Marsh wetland and Lake Hary and Lake Mary against Beachline South Residential LLC. Mr. Kalincak provides a unique outsider editorial to an American event, with long-reaching political consequences for how other territories view the protection of rivers, streams, and other waterways.
