Yes in the old days the clearing of the canals corresponded with colder water but like Scom said the worst brown algae event was during the cold season. Oxygen sucked from water (right?) and fish dead, a sad event.
This current clearing of the water happened before the real cooling this year but maybe it helped. It would be great if there were some definitive books we could check out on brown algae/red tide and such. Anyone have recommendations on papers and the like? I realize there are those that will refute anything that points to man as a change agent but educated people tends to make a society better. |

Shouldn't these leaking septic tanks still be fouling the river?
Of perhaps the reduction of fertilizer is finally taking effect? ------------------------- I was right. |

^^^I just do not see how anything will change, I still see the same fert. Co. making the rounds, landscapers blowing grass into the canals (who's going to monitor them anyways and it it easier than blowing back into yard)....Also, Sewer service stops around Publix to the south of the county, so all this houses from Publix to SBI are on septic (Not sure about the N. end of the county)....Finally the cost of converting from Septic to sewer can run up to 10K-15k+ for re-plumb, main line runs/connections, meters, impact fees and removal of septic tank...My feeling is unless forced to convert 99% will not, for now I just stay out of the river, I think the muck removal will be like beach re-nourishment...expensive and ongoing forever..All septic systems leak and leach directly into the soil, some at a very high rate , and some that have a proper drain field but it all goes somewhere...just one persons opinion
