A BLAZING HOT SUMMER - EXTENSIVE WILD FIRES - AND THE POLLUTED OCEANS
are of great concern... Coming up are several organizations you can join in order to help take care of our ecosystems...
HEAL THE BAY starting with the LA RIVER and DRAINAGE FROM THE CITY STREETS
HEAL THE BAY ORG You can join others to clean up the beaches, of garbage including plastics, aluminum, glass, and cigarettes and fast food containers... You wonder... Why don't some people know to take their litter with them or at least put them in the cans provided around the beach?
Not near an ocean? You can help our ecology by recycling, dropping off batteries and electronics at special toxic chemical depots, reusing plastic bags or buying sturdier cloth bags...

BLUE GREE ALGAE - CYANOBACTERIA - BLOOM EFFECTING SEA LIFE and FLORIDA ECONOMY
FLORIDA ECONOMY and SEA LIFE effected by BLUE GREEN ALGAE BLOOM - DAILY SABAH
Excerpt:
The turquoise canals, streams and lakes that zigzag among Stuart's islands make this small town a nirvana for beachcombers and water sport lovers.
But the thick layer of slimy blue-green algae - also called cyanobacteria - coating the water and smelling of sewage has dampened the town's appeal.
The putrid algal blooms, which appear mornings and evenings with the rising tide, are toxic and can cause rashes and respiratory problems.
"The economic consequences are grave and ongoing," said Sarah Heard, the commissioner of Martin County, the district that includes Stuart. This past weekend several beaches in the county closed during July 4th celebrations. Algae also kills sponges, oysters and other sea creatures integral to water filtration. "There comes a time when the water can no longer sustain life," Briceno said.
