This is absolutely infuriating.  

State funded scientists aren't saying that Piney Point is the cause of this, but anyone with half a brain can see that the failed holding pond dumping millions of gallons of nitrogen rich wastewater into Tampa Bay immediately being followed by the worst red tide in 50 years is linked.
I hate what these clowns are doing to my state.

This is horrible, here’s a video of a Goliath grouper dead. So big they had to bring in machinery..

I'm a couple hours south of you and live within a mile or two of the beach. 

The Florida environment is screwed and I don't think it's going to get better for a long time.  We're dealing with Red tide as well, but also toxic blue-green algae that gets released from Lake Okeechobee. And just plain old fecal matter in our local creeks. 

We made the decision to start leaving for the summer for longer and longer periods of time. When we get back I'll start to wind down our real estate investments.
