discussing a plan of action to
implement the moment the Bay

stress. The county also just

breaking heat water temperature
is also soaring day after day
topping 90 degrees. Where being
in the records right now there’s
saying that we’re not going to

which most of the problems
happen. Researchers From FBI,
Institute of Environment, among
the army of scientists working

stakeholders to execute a plan
of action at the first signs of
another kill on the watershed.
So the mayor is assembling
scientists that also serve on
our Biscayne bay advisory board
to really give us the
information of the state of the
bay to date and what we should
be doing to prepare it is a
perilous game of beat clock
trying to reduce the amount of
nutrient pollution, causing the
rapid decline of. The health of
the bay. Upgrading Our
stormwater system replace aging
sewer pipes getting, properties
off septic tanks and connecting
them to new sewer laterals. All
of this will take years and
millions of dollars in capital
improvements. Government is
doing everything can to lower
those nutrient pollution levels,
but we have to do our part now

land ends up in Biscayne Bay. So
everyone needs to realize that

storm and the stuff just washes
right out to sea. It pollutes
our banks. Kills our fish. And

tough with folks about littering
and about up and about their
personal responsibility and
stewardship. The whole point of
campaign is to get all of us,

County, to realize that there
are things that we can do every
