There is another way to fix the water hyacinth problem on lake Okeechobee and make a profit doing so. In simple terms, if you chop it up, ferment it, then distill it. You get 92% Ethanol. The solid by-product is an awesome fertilizer. Money made from Ethanol and money made from fertilizer. Besides the fact it would create jobs, and clean the lake at the same time. They figured it out in Africa, which is working beautifully by the way. Why would it not be done here.
People need to peacefully protest and block the boat ramps to keep them from entering the lake. Peaceful protest. Lake Okeechobee used to beautiful. I literally cannot believe they are allowed to continue. The lake has taken such a hit from these chemicals. It is a crime against our world.
If we protest it will trigger all the uneducated conservatives who hate hippies and treehuggers when they need to realize if they were educated on these issues that affect them we'd be on same side. I'm always down for a good ol protest though and personally think it's a great idea. We'd for sure get arrestand then they'd bring armed cops next time. We jus jeed to keep showing this and spreading awareness and get people to stop voting for corrupt and inept officials.
@@kimm.5514 I just can't understand how private companies are contracted out to spray these lakes for money. The old spawning bays of Lake Okeechobee are ruined. What used to be hard bottom has all turned to muck. It is just crazy. It is just sad that the lake doesn't fish or look like it used to. It was just gorgeous.
@@cknorris3644 every conservative I know votes for legislators and elected officials who are anti-environment in all ways possible. Conservatives vote on party no matter what the history is on said person running for whatever office. My family is conservative and thinks global warming is fake and hate hippies, treehuggers, environmental groups and basically people who stand up for the environment. They love anything to do with more gas and oil and no govt restrictions on developers or corporations who are the ones destroying our water and land. I'm not confused. You say you support the environment but you destroy it with your votes for corrupt officials who want money and power and give zero f's about the ecosystems they destroy.
We are from the government. We are here to help. We are armed with studies from universities that show how we can spend money we don't have to help our constituents receive contracts that make profits which in turn fund our re election. Praise the Lord...
I am not the smartest guy but I kept a few fish tanks. I learned real quick that chemicals are only a temporary fix and usually create other problems. The right fix was always adding MORE life. Not killing things! My tanks ended up incredible, had crystal clear water and were almost maintenance free. People would look at them in awe and first thing they would say is "what chemicals do you use?". Somehow people have been conditioned to kill things to solve issues I guess.
When these guys KILL lake okeechobee they will just move on to kill another lake somewhere else, it is a shame this is happening to a place where i have fished for 40+ years and soon it will be gone. Thanks FWC .
A guy told me once he was in the military he was on a huge ship waiting to off load. The ship went out to sea a few miles dumped 1000's of oil in the sea. The man in the military couldn't understand why??? But in law enforcement, military, government and other jobs you just do what your told.
This is a shameful destruction of such a beautiful body of water. They need to STOP! This is a staple fisherie that's known around the world, and they are destroying it. THEY NEED TO BE STOPPED....
Sorry but the FWC is a political organization. They have totally lost sight of their original mission statement I have tried several times I'm a volunteer with Wildlife Commission but I have been shunned because of my opinions
This is horrible. How did you get the shots of these spray boats? Were you piloting a drone just overhead? They certainly weren't behaving in a manner that would suggest they knew anyone was watching them.
My lakes dead from this same thing. I bought a house for enjoying the water now its desolate the birds have left the area and theres no oxygen or food, for the breeding of fish or birds.
you need meet these people out and make them disappear boat and all
You wont do shit

@@kimm.5514 as a conservative I don't know any other conservatives who think poisoning the lake is ok. I think you're confused.

@@kimm.5514 You follow too much liberal news.
they should be SUED for this that's not what there contract is
Poison in the water and ecosystem. How clever.
Charles Manson had something to say about these people.
This stuff is absolutely out of control.

Keep up the fight brother!… hopefully it sinks in with the masses before it’s to late.
A road contractor threw trash like rubber gloves on the side of the road when he was done. That's what the trainer taught them.
Call fish and wildlife !
For what?
@@brianlove7884 because there there to protect the wild
Iife show them your movie of the wrong there doing.
That is fish and wildlife. That’s the problem. They are contracted through Fwc.

Absolutely disgusting/criminal. Nice going Florida.
Should mechanically remove the vegetation with a Weedoo if at all
Wtf they need to be stoped.
Soon they can sell it for more destined-to-fail developments.
The area will look like the rest of the State,Cut down poisoned and paved over
These people are evil!!!

You are a valuable asset to the ecosystem they are ruined.
Hope you sue the state and law enforcement that's helping! Including FWC.
I think they care more about the lake/flooding than the fish.
👹👹👹👹 criminals from fop crime to botttom.
I’m sick to my stomach watching this
Why are they doing that

What is FWC's response to these videos? Do they even acknowledge?
They claim that their spray does not hurt the environment
MY dad passed in 2005 and would roll over in his grave if he saw this, This is your political system and tax money at work.
