The report was supported by the Environmental Protection Board of the City of Jacksonville and the River Branch Foundation.

The report consists of four parts – the website (http://www.sjrreport.com), the brochure, the full report, and an appendix. The brochure provides a brief summary of the status and trends of each item or indicator (i.e., water quality, fisheries, etc.) that was evaluated for the river. The full report and appendix were produced to provide more to those interested. In the development of these documents, many different sources of data were examined, including data from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, St. Johns River Water Management District, Fish and Wildlife Commission, City of Jacksonville, individual researchers, and others.

  • JAA Graphic Standards Update
    Graphic Standards Manual Edition V.1 Jacksonville Aviation Authority: Logo Overview Dames Point Bridge Dames Point Bridge Acosta Bridge Main Street Bridge The Jacksonville Aviation Authority is the conduit through which millions of people will be introduced to the first coast of Florida. The logo system, therefore, needs to be a simple yet symbolic representation of things that are unique and memorable about the city of Jacksonville. The logo draws clear inspiration from classic aviation iconography, easily identifying JAA properties as airports. But beyond the obvious, the mark also illustrates linear patterns and shapes from the many bridges that span the St. John’s River. The color palette also borrows from visual stimuli that are common to the Jacksonville area including water, citrus fruits, lush greenery and sunsets.
