I live in Venice Florida. This year we are being hit extremely hard with RED TIDE. It happens around the world and it’s very sad. Ours is karenia brevis. It’s a HAB (harmful algal bloom). It’s killing everything in our area, small fish to turtles, dolphins, manatee, even a whale shark. It’s a natural phenomenon but Florida is draining the okeechobee lake that is polluted from farming into the gulf where this HAB is. Essentially it’s feeding this bloom and killing everything. I’ll try to link as much as I can, but please call upon your congressman to change what we are doing to our environment. PS... if you work for or know someone that works for the Army Corps of Engineering I’d love to chat with you, I’m a pilot with a large airline I can either fly to you or better yet, I’ll bring you here and we can chat about it on our beach coughing and wheezing and looking at the death of our environment.

There are many more out there.
The next photos are disturbing!
Stop draining Okeechobee, make BIG SUGAR pay to play, and the rest of the farmers! This is prevetable on this scale. Our government is failing this planet!
I don’t know how to get this to every person subscribed, if someone does please let me know or you can do it, thanks for your time.
