Pay Attention!       

It’s heartbreaking for all of us who live, work and play along the lagoon to see how the quality of the water has declined. To understand how we got here we must confront the brutal truth. Go beyond searching the branches and acknowledge the roots to find the answers. Those roots start with us. How we live. How we changed the land. How we dispose of our waste. As a human community, we have become disconnected from nature. We have forgotten that our lives, our economy, our health, and even the food we eat, are all connected to the land. The responsibility and the ability to change lies within the hands of each individual in the community and their daily decisions. Remember that choosing not to decide or act is still making a decision. It still leads to an outcome. Video Courtesy: Balance for Earth | YouTube – Video Credit: Dylan Hansen

NEWS

Satellite Imagery Showing the Polluted waters from Florida are Reaching Georgia

Ocean color image (second page) from June 15, 2016 from VIIRS sensor on the Suomi National Polar Orbiting Partnership satellite enhanced by ROFFS™ that shows the discolored water from Port St. Lucie, FL reaching the western side of the Gulf Stream and being carried all the way north offshore of Savannah, GA approximately 270 miles (straight line distance). This is the polluted water coming from Lake Okeechobee that has been diverted to Florida’s east and west coasts instead of being sent down its natural path through central Florida to be cleaned by the Everglades before entering into Florida Bay.

The water appears brown off Port. St. Lucie and by the time it reaches the Savannah area it appears as a blue-green water. The change in color is likely to be due to the dilution by the Gulf Stream waters (dark blue). Other recent satellite imagery does not show this water as clearly as this one due to clouds and other atmospheric effects. This provides evidence that Florida is transporting its unhealthy polluted waters to other states.
