Unfortunately I'm not sure we'll ever be able to close the big "fertilizer plant" (Lake O and the sugar cane and cattle farms that feed it) that dumps into the IR Lagoon! However the folks in Stuart around the St. Lucie river have been raising hell, so now that folks as far away as Daytona are complaining, maybe we can finally get enough state politicians to ignore the special interest $ and get serious about cleaning up the water flow to the Everglades. Then they can start dumping all that water to the south where it went originally! Fixing the leaky dike to allow higher water levels in Lake O will also help, but that's a huge project that has a loong way to go!
