🚨URGENT ACTION NEEDED! Sign our petition!⁠ captainsforcle...
⁠
Big Sugar is suing over a critical restoration project, the EAA Reservoir, threatening Everglades restoration and the future of Florida's waters-WE MUST STAND UP TO OPPOSE THIS LAWSUIT!⁠
⁠
This lawsuit could establish the EAA Reservoir as a personal taxpayer-funded water supply for the sugar industry, INSTEAD of it's intended use: to restore the natural Everglades flow by storing, cleaning, and sending more beneficial water south.⁠
⁠
The EAA Reservoir is the single most impactful restoration project designed to provide large-scale relief to all of south Florida's waterways. ⁠
⁠
If Big Sugar wins the lawsuit, it could upend YEARS of restoration progress and increases the risk of:⁠
⁠
❌ More toxic coastal discharges⁠
⁠
☠️ More harmful algal blooms and massive fish kills⁠
⁠
💵 Billions of dollars of economic impact⁠
⁠
💼 Tens of thousands of jobs lost⁠
⁠
🌎 The fate of a National Treasure⁠
⁠
We're urging the United States Sugar Corporation, Okeelanta Corporation (Florida Crystals), and the Sugar Cane Growers Cooperative of Florida to WITHDRAW their lawsuit over the EAA Reservoir, and we need your voice!⁠

Just fished a 2 day tournament on lake Okeechobee and the water was disgusting and there was dead fish all over the lake. Looks like lake Apopka before her restoration. So sad. Weve poisoned our water for green yards and sugar we assault her with herbicides and its wrong. It has to stop.

We need to put out some press releases on the dangers of Sugar. Need to team up with some big influencers so we can control the narrative.

Cut sugar production and the introduction of sugar into foods....improve the health of obese Americans. And save Everglades water flow southward also.

The cost of coastal real estate exceeds the value of the sugar industry. Thousands of coastal millionaires were damaged by them last year, and the tourism industry (bigger than sugar by far) took a sizable hit. Gulf residents last year hit a tipping point - local papers up and down the west coast covered all the Red Tide, which we now know feeds on bacteria from these discharges. It went all the way to Tampa Bay - which also had a different kind of discharge also release that made things even worse. People with multi-million dollar properties had to leave their coastal homes for weeks because they could not breathe. Tourism was impacted. Manatee County is far north of the Sanibel discharge site and brings in about $2B a year in tourism revenue...even they took a hit. Point is, the people now know what is happening. And who is at fault. Everyone expects this year's discharges will cause serious problems again. This time, we all know who to blame, and who to call. The sugar industry is not going to win this one. They just don't have the juice anymore.

If you want the water to flow like it did 100 years ago stop putting bandaids on the problem! Digging more to fix digging from the past is not the answer. If you want to "fix" not only the Everglades but all of Florida! You will have to make the state like it was 100 years ago period! Anything else is man's idea at fixing the problems that man created trying to fix what was perfect in the beginning until man changed it! You can't "dig" more and FIX this problem.

@essiebessie661 Месяц назад

That’s like calling for a Deus ex Machina to fix it all. Try working towards a resolution that is actually achievable, and we MIGHT improve the situation.

Who has the water rights? Theres no such thing as public water to be honest

@Bradimoose 3 месяца назад

The clean water act gives people the right to unpolluted water at the beaches.

@manveru88 3 месяца назад

@@Bradimoose but water belongs to those who have the water rights, which is why kansas and Nebraska always beat the brakes off colorado in the courts even though the water originates in colorado

@CTity860 3 месяца назад

In Florida all bodies of water except man made belong to the state.

@manveru88 3 месяца назад

@CTity860 oldest established use has claim to water, which is why kansas and nebraska have more right to colorados water than colorado(country was settled east to west).

@mactownsend2890 3 месяца назад

Whoever has the most money to buy the law makers' ears have all the rights, unfortunately. We need to keep up the public pressure. Having the media on our side can be a great equalizer.

This country always doing something WRONG towards supplies and things what we need to survive on it's ALWAYS something WRONG with something no matter what it is. It's so sad to say how our country and government let this type of nonsense go on around them and us as citizens having to depend on our water to live and survive on...!!! This country and governmen SUCKS!!! How they treat, and do us citizens of a supposedly most powerful nation! So, does that mean us citizens get treated like crap having to deal with that water that can't be drinked nor would I bath in it as well. That's WRONG AS TWO LEFT SHOES...
