4. These things tend to wake some people up.

Tampa Bay became an absolute shithole with the lack of fertilizer regulation, building a causeway where a full bridge should have been built, the mass dumping of sewage, etc....

The Bay got so bad that north of the Gandy Bridge the beaches were often closed due to the high bacteria count. Some of the blooms I saw in my favorite fishing spots actually gave the water the appearance of being thick.

They increased the fines for the illegal dumping of sewage(In the 80's the trucks would go through neighborhoods butting up against creeks that emptied into the bay and dump their loads down manholes) and got a lot more strict with fertilizer regulations. Our shelves clear of granular fertilizer before the start of the summer. They literally don't allow the sale.

What did people get to see. An immediate benefit to the bay. Literally in the first year of the fertilizer ban.

Seeing is believing.

We still have a long way to go in the Tampa area. We seem to love dumping shit into the Bay.
