Red Tide report for April 2008

A brief photo display of Red Tide, HAB, and pollution in Martin, St. Lucie and Palm Beach County.

The Harmful Algae Bloom exsists due to Agricultural runoff and Sewage pollution with a mux of Development waste.

We must Enforce the Federal Clean Water Act of 1972 today for Florida's future.

The drafters of the Clean Water Act foresaw failures in 1972.
The CWA allows citizens to sue the EPA for not doing their own
work or making sure the states do theirs. If the state agency
is failing to stop water pollution and permit violations,
citizens can file an 118a complaint letter to the commissioner
of DEP or EPA reporting the violation. The commissioner is
obligated to look into the lack of enforcement and report

Sign the Declaration of Reef Rights and the Enforce the Federal Clean Water Act petition online.
