Orlando Citizen — Environment & Water Beat

Wade Callahan

Environment and water reporter. Wade covers the springs, lakes and rivers that define Central Florida outdoors — and the agencies charged with keeping them swimmable, drinkable and alive.

His beat runs on primary sources: St. Johns River Water Management District data and board actions, Florida DEP water-quality and algae reporting, FWC wildlife and boating releases, and county environmental programmes. A quiet week on this beat is reported as a quiet week — the beat never manufactures an environmental story.

What he covers: springs health and flows, lake water quality and algae blooms, manatees and wildlife, water restrictions and conservation, and state land and water decisions affecting Orange, Seminole, Osceola and Lake counties.
