People were shocked to learn that Florida's government has been spraying glyphosate - the infamous herbicide linked with cancer and the rapid growth of algal blooms - onto aquatic plants in Lake Okeechobee. As more marine animals die and people get sick from one of the biggest blooms in history, conservationists are fighting to combat the causes. Sign and share today to tell Florida's government to stop the use of glyphosate in lakes and rivers.        -(from change.org)

i wonder if that was what they sprayed in the model yacht pond. i saw them out there in flat bottom boats spraying the thick algae with long rubber gloves like the poisoner levy wears spraying on the wooded island paul h. douglas nature sanctuary and thought to ask if it was toxic to dogs like one time the poisoner levy made a hand-scrawled note to say, which disappeared the next day. then i thought, well it's a private environmental company, so sure they must be responsible, right? well shucks, the e.p.a. says glyphosate and roundup are ok, what me worry.
i tell the dog people to take their dogs to the lake, where toxins are at least dispersed. it's stagnant. why would they go there anyway? 

p.s. i read on, and have to post this:

Our recent investigation has uncovered a shocking correlation and overlooked contributor to Florida’s devastating Red Tide epidemic.

The FWC (Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission), a government-run agency, is spraying poison into all of our rivers, canals, and lakes, including Lake Okeechobee to kill an invasive aquatic plant called hydrilla. Hundreds of permitted contractors all over the state are still to this day spraying poison into our aquifer, Monday thru Friday, 40 hours a week for the last 40 years.

The active ingredient of the poison being sprayed is called Glyphosate!

Glyphosate is an herbicide that kills plants; the dead plant matter provides nutrients to blue-green algae, which in turn feeds the red algae blooms. The targeted plant hydrilla is an invasive species, but there are mechanical means to remove this aquatic plant that do not harm the environment in any way.

Monsanto, a company that uses glyphosate as an active ingredient in their products recently lost a court case that resulted in a settlement reaching nearly 300 million dollars. Monsanto lost because glyphosate is a known carcinogen. This carcinogen is polluting our waters and decimating our ocean life.
