Tubing from the north entrance at Ichetucknee Springs State Park, a major regional attraction, may be coming to an end though some paddling would still be allowed.
The park believes tubing needs to stop on the shallower upper river because of damage to the aquatic grasses that are crucial to the health of the ecosystem, including wildlife such as fish, turtles and otters.
But others say the move will be another hit to vendors who rent inflatable tubes and is not needed to repair the grasses.
An absence of tubing in the 2019/20 winter season and during the COVID-19 pandemic has shown that grasses will grow back if left undisturbed by humans.
