The evidence empirical or circumstantial s that we have allowed the commercial interests to dictate to the populace the destruction of Tarpon Bay and the beaches of Sanibel. Up the river, where the poloticos are influenced by agrimoney, they could care less about estuarial environments. Sanibel is a pea in a huge pod when it comes to political influence; the island is predominantly the playground for the rich, non Floridian absentee owner. Take a stroll during the months of Summer and Fall, the place is a near ghost town. Will the red algae get better? Not the right question. Will it get worse (how can it!)?

Thanks for taking a whisper of an idea and fleshing it out with lots of facts. However the stuff is caused, it sure is inundating our beaches. You saw that yourself on Tarpon and West Gulf, and it really is kinda depressing. Good luck in the Tortugas! Great Article, Bert.
