What a crime sugar is an unmitigated ecological disaster . Proud of captains for clean waters work. I will keep donating money.

Just fished a 2 day tournament on lake Okeechobee and the water was disgusting and there was dead fish all over the lake. Looks like lake Apopka before her restoration. So sad. Weve poisoned our water for green yards and sugar we assault her with herbicides and its wrong. It has to stop.

You guys nailed this video! Thank you for all that you do.

Let's do this!

Everyone needs to share on every platform! It’s beyond time we put a stop to this!

"Sweetening Destruction: Big Sugar's Sour Legacy in Florida's Waters."

The cost of coastal real estate exceeds the value of the sugar industry. Thousands of coastal millionaires were damaged by them last year, and the tourism industry (bigger than sugar by far) took a sizable hit. Gulf residents last year hit a tipping point - local papers up and down the west coast covered all the Red Tide, which we now know feeds on bacteria from these discharges. It went all the way to Tampa Bay - which also had a different kind of discharge also release that made things even worse. People with multi-million dollar properties had to leave their coastal homes for weeks because they could not breathe. Tourism was impacted. Manatee County is far north of the Sanibel discharge site and brings in about $2B a year in tourism revenue...even they took a hit. Point is, the people now know what is happening. And who is at fault. Everyone expects this year's discharges will cause serious problems again. This time, we all know who to blame, and who to call. The sugar industry is not going to win this one. They just don't have the juice anymore.

We need to put out some press releases on the dangers of Sugar. Need to team up with some big influencers so we can control the narrative.

Cut sugar production and the introduction of sugar into foods....improve the health of obese Americans. And save Everglades water flow southward also.

Grreat Video!

If you want the water to flow like it did 100 years ago stop putting bandaids on the problem! Digging more to fix digging from the past is not the answer. If you want to "fix" not only the Everglades but all of Florida! You will have to make the state like it was 100 years ago period! Anything else is man's idea at fixing the problems that man created trying to fix what was perfect in the beginning until man changed it! You can't "dig" more and FIX this problem.

@@Bradimoose but water belongs to those who have the water rights, which is why kansas and Nebraska always beat the brakes off colorado in the courts even though the water originates in colorado

@CTity860 oldest established use has claim to water, which is why kansas and nebraska have more right to colorados water than colorado(country was settled east to west).

Whoever has the most money to buy the law makers' ears have all the rights, unfortunately. We need to keep up the public pressure. Having the media on our side can be a great equalizer.

WE DON'T HAVE CLEAN WATER ANYWAY! SO WHAT'S YOUR POINT! THIS COUNTRY RATHER HELP OTHER COUNTRIES THAN THEIR OWN! SO WHAT POINT ARE YOU MAKING, BECAUSE THIS COUNTRY CARES ABOUT HELPING OTHER COUNTRIES, AND NOT THEIR OWN CITISENSE. SO WHAT ARE YOU STRESSING? These pololiticians does'nt care two cents about us, but they want our votes! When I'm President, then i'll vote for this? That'll be on the fifty third of of ?...!!!
