I have no doubt that “big” sugar is a major player in the problem, but it’s been around for a long time. So what has changed? The population of Florida has been growing by leaps and bounds since the 70’s and now its at a critical stage.
The picture of a typical home is a couple palm trees and a lush yard. My neighbor must buy fertilizer and pesticides in bulk, because he is using one or the other almost constantly and I’m sure he is not alone.
There is probably 10 times as many fisherman now than there was 20 years ago which means less fish to go around.
As far as the water quality goes, I hate to be pessimistic, but with the current attitude, I don’t look for any improvement.
