Eighteen hundred gallons per second is the rate of ruin
My state of Florida is so rotten with corruption that no one is surprised that the corps of engineers is now sacrificing the entire eastern central Florida marine ecology by dumping massive amounts of fresh water into the salt water eco systems of Eastern Central Florida.
The canal and dyke systems that were built by the corps of engineers support the interest of agriculture and the dairy farms by supplying a system of drainage canals for the agro chemical trash to enter into and pollute our East Coast water systems. The health and welfare of the people and communities of eastern central Florida are being sacrificed for the profits of an agricultural industry that doesn’t want to pay to clean up after itself.
My state suffers from the same sickness that has infected the rest of the country. The American way has disrespected nature to its ruination.
If the corps of engineers had the integrity to guarantee its own work there would not be a problem. The activities of the corps of engineers in Florida is the state of Florida’s most costly environmental mismatch; corrupt politicians + a profound disrespect for the natural environment + shoddy work.
When the corps of engineers no longer operates in my state of Florida and are replaced by people who care about the preservation of Florida’s natural environment, we will all be healthier and happier. I do not think that the water will be safe for surfers in East Central Florida while they are flushing their chemicals and agro bacteria into our fishing grounds and surfing beaches.
Florida’s politicians and business leaders vote and act as if the state’s natural resources are its country clubs.
