Hannie Caulder Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 This is my fave time of year. The ocean is calm and clear, and the beaches are deserted. Hopefully we will get lucky this year and not get hit by a storm. They say El Nino is coming back, which means less storms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heat and nutrition = algae bloom = dead fish = beaches fucked = tourism down. I walked over to the beach on Saturday. NASTY. Was coughing within seconds. Dead fish and disgusting smell everywhere. Beach is dead, literally. And local news outlets try to push "Its getting better articles!" in a lame attempt to get tourists back to the small communities and their businesses. Scott should have bought the land in 2015 in an effort to distribute the Lake O runoff, instead of discarding the **** into the ocean. But he rather dismantled several water quality research organisations. The new / old contender is not much better, they are just pointing fingers and don't get **** done as long as the sugar industry lines both their campaign pockets. I'm seriously considering a move to AZ or something. This **** is increasing, we had now 3 year-round red tides in the past 15 years or so.

Every news organization and enviro-greenie blames farming and agriculture. The overpopulation of the regular suburbanites don't seem to have a clue. "Oh noes! A blade of grass in my putting-green lawn is brown!! A couple huge bags of fertilizer should fix that right up!" (x millions) "A couple of gallons of RoundUp, please. I saw a dandelion in my yard today!" (x millions) Too many people. (I only go there when I'm scheduled for work, and then I'm glad to get out.)

The overpopulation is a general problem, even more so for places like Florida, no questions asked. And our yards as well as 1,000+ golf courses add to a range of problems. But the red tide gets its nutrition from Lake O. You can follow the slimy trail literally. And lake O gets the crap mainly from the sugar fields in the South, since they drained it for them. Lake O has its own algae issue. You can see it from space. You can see the sugar fields below and to the east as well. This years situation: It won't get any more obvious than this ****... About to be discharged into the rivers: Hitting the ocean.. Feeding the red tide and hitting our beaches... Dead fish everywhere...

crockett Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 (edited) PS: watch this. There is no doubt where this **** originates from with locals and many local scientists. Only the sugar industry and politicians receiving money from it try to come up with BS excuses. Edited August 20, 2018 by crockett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willie-pete Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I drove around Florida when we were first planning to move back to see where we wanted to live. Drove around the Lake O area; the smell was god-awful from the sugar mills . That area was the first one we crossed off the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
