Nixon orders halt to Florida shipping canal project
President Nixon told reporters he would stop construction of a cross Florida canal to protect the Oklawaha River. Conservationists hailed the move but pledged further legal action to block more Corps projects. About 26 miles of the 107 mile waterway have already been gouged from the river valley. The canal would link Mayport and Yankeetown, trimming about 600 miles from Gulf shipping routes. The river is described as a unique semi tropical stream, which Nixon warned could be damaged by the canal’s construction.
