Our once-pristine waters are being poisoned by Lake Okeechobee runoff. Even mainstream media Beaches closures, algae-infested rivers, businesses going under, and tourist dollars lost
Why is this important?
The SWFL Clean Water Movement is a group of concerned citizens rallying to end the toxic Lake Okeechobee discharges that destroy our river, esturay, and local Gulf waters.
Freshwater releases from Lake Okeechobee pose major problems for our Southwest Florida ecosystem. As a result, incidents of dead oyster beds, wilted sea grasses, toxic algae blooms, and fish kills have increased in our coastal estuaries and rivers.
We demand that our elected officials, legislators, and the corporate businesses responsible for this disaster support the solution: Buy the land and send the water south!
