Dive into this ocean-themed issue with me and address the elephant in the room—or should I say, the algae in the water?
Yes, I’m talking about that not-so-refreshing discharge from Lake Okeechobee. You know, the one that’s turning our beloved beaches into something resembling the set of a sci-fi flick.
Let’s be real, our beaches are the true stars of the show here in Fort Lauderdale. But lately, they’ve been looking a bit under the weather, and it’s not just because they’ve caught a case of the blues. We’ve got a serious case of freshwater meets saltwater drama, and it’s wreaking havoc on our ecosystem faster than a seagull diving for a dropped fry.
But it’s not just our flippered friends feeling the heat. Our health is on the line too. Turns out, taking a dip in these polluted waters is about as safe as wrestling an alligator with a toothache.
As citizens of this sandy paradise, we can do our part to change this! Starting with something as simple as swapping out those boring cement seawalls for living ones that promote life. Hey, if we’re gonna build walls, they might as well be the green, leafy kind, right?
