The neglect and malfeasance described in this video has persisted throughout our state for decades. It is shocking how tolerant (and complicit) our people have been and continue to be during this steady slide. How is it that the marijuana and abortion constitutional amendments collect the number of signatures necessary to get on the ballot but the Right To Clean Water amendment doesn't?
I partially grew up in the Keys during the late 70', and the 80's. Grassy Key has always stunk. We all assumed it was from rotting seaweed, and seagrass, well now we know. We always stayed on Sunshine Key campground ( Ohio Key )... What a childhood I had.
Thank you to the residents for your concerns and coming together to find the why. The confining layers are not what they might have been. The confining layers have been impacted in many different ways. Even the Core bores and the Well drilling cause fractures and fissures. This is a major contributor to Saltwater intrusion problem and the problem with Disposal Wells. You can't drill a hole through anything without fracturing the material. HDD drilling cause fractures and many of the fractures do not come to the surface. These fractures can travel outward and then to the surface or any direction. Native Floridian and former HDD Driller. We must find better ways to deal with Our Waste Materials. I recently learned that there are 80k chemicals in the Biosolids aka Sewage Sludge.
What about the 100's of boats in boot key harbor discharging in the water? What is there, 300 or 400 boats in boot key? Is grey water still allowed to be discharged right overboard? Why was that guy so stupid as to dive where it stunk of sewage!!!
Correlation does not equal causation. How can you know for sure whether it is the wells causing the overgrowth or people dumping from their boats in the harbor? We know that is a significant issue in Boot Key Harbor.
Time to go back to using Septic tanks or start over with a system that works. Instead of curing the City of Marathon's problem they have created a problem. Obviously, the system does not work.
methene also could smell like sewage . HARBOR BRANCH !!! they know their SHHHH.👍 Farm and yard chemicals have a lot of nitrogen in them. injecting sewage? how long can we keep doing that?

Heart breaking!
Share this far and wide !!!!!!!
Waste water management need to be held personally accountable
Infrastructure is breaking down at the same rate tourism is ramping up. Not a good combination.
Are live aboard discharges taken into account too? Poop, pee, and gray water! Hundreds of boats! Marinas too.
there's a pump out program in place and strict enforcing. The govt has always pointed their fingers at boaters, we don't shit in our yard
