The situation

What’s happening to Biscayne

A nuclear power plant is leaking radioactive water into a national park, and the federal government just extended its license to 80 years. Turkey Point’s aging cooling canals have been contaminating Biscayne Bay with tritium and driving a hypersaline plume toward the drinking water supply of three million people. Under the most optimistic sea-level projections, the plant will be underwater by 2040, twelve years before its license expires.

Sources and methodThe situation, timeline, and threats: the MTJP threatened-lands record for Biscayne, with per-item sources. Group crews and program ratios: IRS Form 990 via ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer, latest filed year, EINs on each group’s profile. Which groups are on the record for this place: MTJP editors tie a group to a fight only with a source link they have read, one link at a time. A group without one is shown as likely to care, a guess from the federal court record and the group’s own mission and footprint. Org-reported figures are always labeled.
