Mud Hole supports Mighty River Recovery
Mud Hole Custom Tackle, part of the Foundation Outdoor Group, has revealed details of an important partnership with Mighty River Recovery in the USA.
The collaboration provides for financial support, fund raising and hands-on volunteerism to support Mighty River Recovery’s mission of restoring the wildlife habitat on Florida’s St. Johns River.
Florida-based Foundation Outdoor Group vice-president, Hunter McKamey, said: “The important work that Mighty River Recovery is doing is crucial to the future of the St. Johns River. We are thrilled to be supporting such a worthy initiative that’s right in our back yard.
“I have enjoyed countless hours fishing the St. Johns River in my youth and have seen the significant decline in the fisheries and wildlife, firsthand. The entire Mud Hole team is excited to roll up our sleeves and help Joe Balog and the Mighty River Recovery organisation make a significant impact for the future of this critical habitat.”
Joe Balog spearheaded the non-profit organisation as he witnessed the negative impact that nutrient loading and rapid development have had on what is Florida’s longest river, one of the state’s largest freshwater resources and, once, its premier bass fishery in Florida.
He added: “Mighty River Recovery is truly focused on the actions that will restore the St. Johns. We’re performing the research, getting in the water and doing the work to replenish the habitats that will rehabilitate the ecosystem.
“We are grateful for the support and enthusiasm that Hunter and the Mud Hole team are bringing to our organisation and we look forward to doing great things together for the St. Johns River.”
