"We are seeing an increase in blue green algae along with dramatic fish kills in the Indian River Lagoon. These deaths relate to polluted runoff from the land. And there is evidence that blue green algae may be related to Alzheimer's disease."

I love so much about Florida, but certainly not the dirty politics. Amendment 1 was passed to move toward restoring the natural water flow, north to south, as it needs to be for both the Everglades and our source of drinking water in the state. It is criminal how our "representatives" are refusing to enact this approved amendment. I agree with everything Drew Martin said, and he said it well. I still do not understand for the life of me how all these polluters get away with this. Why do we not require them, including the biggest culprit Big Ag, to clean their runoff of pollutants before it flows into our drinking water and estuaries?
