I'm on the rivers several days a week as a yak guide.
After a several month algae bloom, everyplace I paddle at the moment is quite clear.
Biggest issue I'm seeing at the moment is doofs leaving monofilament everywhere, it's decimating our pelis.
The manatees are in really bad shape
....maybe spraying tons of fucking roundup all over everywhere on our waters isnt such a great idea.......

Manatees sort of did themselves in. No predators, eating all the grass, dropping shit loads of poop, having lots of babies. Kind of like the ancient people on Easter Island, Cut down all the trees and made a population that could not sustain.

So if you are a surfer I wish you the prosperity that allows you more time to pursue the salt water dream, and the true happiness that comes from warm water, clean waves and the companionship of your fellow surfers. If you are an internet troll just spewing bs then f off.

I met a lady who hates them . "they're too slow / they are not smart / they get in the way of developers making nice neighborhoods near the water" !

We killed the grass. Manatees had no issues for thousands of years.
Catfish eat sea grass too, but nothing compares to man.

Banging the dead horse. Raining hard. Half the lawns along Rockledge Drive and up the side streets toward US1 got sprayed yesterday. Here in the middle lagoon the water got really nasty in the late 70s and early 80s. Then our houses right on the slope between US1 and the river got converted to sewer. Water quality improved. New lawns and added burdens on the sewer system have overwhelmed the positive changes of the past. Kind of sad watching the runoff running down the street this morning. People don't even bother to keep the leaf litter and grass out of the runoff.

The river has been nice and clear, but the rains will be taking care of that soon. I just watched two months of God knows what from the yards and the streets get flushed into the river.
