When water can’t flow south, Lake Okeechobee’s toxic discharges are pushed east and west, fueling blue-green algae and red tide. 🌊 Decades of water mismanagement have turned canals into superhighways for pollution, making people sick, killing wildlife and threatening your drinking water. We know the real solution is sending clean water south. Act now to Rescue the River of Grass.

What’s going on in Lake Okeechobee? Blue-green algae is covering most of the lake due to excess phosphorous. The EAA Reservoir, south of the lake, will help to store, clean, and send that water south, Dr. Steve Davis, Chief Science Officer explains in this science segment. #SendTheWaterSouth | Everglades Foundation

Why are Lake Okeechobee releases happening? How will they affect our water quality? What are the short-term solutions? Our Chief Science Officer Dr. Steve Davis answers some of your questions in this reel. Although LOSOM will be a more balanced way of managing Lake O, it will only get us so far to limit these releases. The long-term solution will be the construction of the EAA Reservoir with its accompanying stormwater treatment area. More on that on our next science explainer reel! | Everglades
