Florida has waged a long and expensive legal battle against Georgia’s growing consumption of river water, which ultimately deprives the oyster beds and other downstream fisheries of the Apalachicola River estuary in the Florida panhandle. Unusually, since the case is between two states, the US Supreme Court has original jurisdiction. Thus the court appointed a special master to hear the case. Florida lost the decision by the special master. On review, the Supreme Court directed that the special master had to revisit some legal and factual issues. Florida get a partial victory, but it seems unlikely to get much if any relief in the end.
