Experts Say Public Awareness is Critical at Water Quality Summit

Experts gathered at a Florida water quality summit to speak about harmful blue-green algal blooms in our waterways regarding health hazards and other dangers the green muck poses in our area.

Scientists who spoke at the Calusa Waterkeeper town hall said public awareness is the most critical aspect for Southwest Florida’s water quality issues Monday.

“People are thirsty and hungry for information on the health risks associated with harmful algal blooms,” said John Cassani, a Calusa Waterkeeper and panel moderator.
