    In my mind it’s more the result of alterning the water flow through the Everglades as well as increased development more so than a yearly algae bloom.
    How long ago was the water flow through the Everglades changed? Sure is sad to see

    It’s not so much one a switch was thrown to change it but it started with rediversion for agriculture and then with increasing human development more and more wetlands were drained and water re-routed. I think we have just finally hit a tipping point in the system.
