Excerpt:

"Despite our best efforts, Florida has a lot of red tide and blue-green algae blooms, which can hurt people, animals, pets, and even marine life. Because of toxic algae blooms, emergency declarations have shut down beaches and little fishing along a large part of our east and west coasts.

The water also changed because of the canals, levees, and dikes. Tons of nitrogen and phosphorus came into the watershed from human development and farming, hurting its quality.

Because there isn’t enough fresh water in the south, the salinity of Florida Bay has changed, which threatens one of the most popular places to fish in the world."

Hi Baitball Blogger. Good catch. Should I change the title of their article? Is that permissible? C0RI0LANUS Dec 29 #7
