Johns River as a paddling trail and part of the <br /> State' s blueway system . <br /> SJRA , a 501 (c)3 not-for-profit organization , preserves , protects , restores and celebrates <br /> the St . Johns River as an American Heritage River in recognition of its ecological , <br /> historic , economic, recreational and cultural significance . SJRA promotes tourism in <br /> Indian River County and is working collaboratively to develop a combined greenway- <br /> blueway system for the entire 310 miles of Florida' s river that uniquely flows north . <br /> As a part of this endorsement , the County agrees to maintain its existing facilities along <br /> the St . Johns River — any existing boat ramps or other It launch facilities and any <br /> existing camping or picnic facilities , etc. The County makes no commitment to enhance <br /> these facilities , unless funds become available in the future . <br /> We hope that you will look favorably upon their request , as we are thankful the SJRA is <br /> an integral component in raising environmental awareness , promoting good health <br /> through outdoor recreation and boosting eco-tourism for our current and future <br /> generations of Indian River County residents . <br /> 1801 27u' Street, Building A <br /> Vero Beach, FL 32960 <br /> (772) 2264490 <br />
