Default Can we get our President to help save our waters?

Hey gang,

I write this with a heavy heart.

The ruination of our waters has reached defcon 5 here.

One of my friends here locally runs Black Dog charters out
of the Square Grouper docks directly inside Jupiter inlet.

Captain Bill Taylor runs this inlet and fishes our offshore water more than anyone
I know. I called him in September 2016 after we all saw the horror on the national
evening news. I asked him how bad things were.

He has had pet snook in his slip for over 20 years.
He said the snook had left. What he said next just infuriated me.
He said all of the oysters on his pilings were half shells.
Dead.

Nature`s water filters could not survive directly inside a tidal cut.
I felt like I had been gut punched.

I called him two weeks ago and asked him how things were.
He said he was down by Juno pier and nothing was growing on the pilings.
This is a pier in an ocean.

I just wanted to start this thread and get some information and ideas to
help us save our waters.

Nothing is out of bounds here.
The numbers I`m hearing are between 45-50 major projects needed
to restore the natural flow south with a price tag of 27-30 Billion dollars.

Let`s work forward with this in the hope of merrier new years in our future.

Cheers,
GFS
