Florida's Toxic Algae Problem
I'm horrified by this summer's toxic algae blooms that caused massive wildlife die-offs and big economic losses for local businesses.
We can't let things get this bad ever again.
These blooms are fueled by pollution from development and Big Ag operations. And regulations that used to help keep that pollution in check have been rolled back.
It's time to restore those water protections and fully fund the agencies responsible for protecting our water quality.

Why is this important?
This summer, Florida saw some of its most intense toxic algae blooms yet. There's a reason these blooms are getting worse: Governor Scott rolled back the water protections that used to help keep them at bay, and he's refused to take action to stop the agricultural pollution that fuels them.
And now Floridians are paying for it in the form of contaminated, algae-laden water and coasts, massive wildlife die-offs, and big economic losses.
Demand that Governor Scott and the Legislature act to restore our water protections, stop the pollution fueling the algae blooms, and clean up our already polluted water!
It's time our elected leaders represent Floridians, NOT Big Ag special interests, and fix this water disaster plaguing our state.
