Red Tide
Florida’s water pollution is a national disgrace. Rivers, streams and lakes are contaminated by excess nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorous) entering our waterways in the form of sewage, fertilizer and manure. Nutrient pollution fuels harmful algae blooms. Dangerous, toxic algae runs tourists away from beaches and sends them to emergency rooms. Commercial and recreational fisheries are devastated. Property values plummet.
