"Mary Jane is a looker. Her curves hug the Isle of Pine Preserve to the
southeast of Orlando, Florida, nearby residents enjoy her coolness for
kayaking, and her body of water is part of rather spectacular wetlands that
connect her to her twin, Lake Hart. She is also the first lake in the U.S. to
make waves by filing a lawsuit.
Beachline South Residential, a developer, wants to take advantage of the
region’s growing popularity and convert nearly 2,000 acres of wetlands, pine
flatwoods and cypress forest just north of the lake into apartments and
offices. So Mary Jane, Lake Hart, two other local waters and a marsh in Orange
County have done what most Americans who feel existentially threatened would
do: They’ve lawyered up."
