Gee, just to think, if you leave nature alone, ie: natural sea grasses,
things work out in harmony. It's when man thinks he can alter nature
that the problems occur. Look at what happened years ago when man
decided it would be a great idea to drain the Everglades and make the
water flow where they thought it should.


It is very hard to look anywhere in the world and see a place where
man has a responsible water policy. In the case of the bay, the
biggest problem is the 15 million people in Maryland, Virginia, DC and
central Pennsylvania who use it for a sewer.

I was poking around on the "eyes on the bay" web site and the worst
places are where the various rivers dump into the bay. The Susquehanna
may be the worst. That is the combined crap from the whole central
north east. You **** in the river in Binghampton New York and it will
be coming out through Hampton Roads eventually..
Of course for nutrient load, you have lawn chemicals, sewer treatment
plants and Frank Purdue.

I am involved with water quality monitoring here because I saw what
happened up there.
They may actually fix the Everglades some day. At least the trend is
in the right direction.


It's proof that if you put enough big-assed snakes in a swamp, people will stay out of the swamp!

That's about the stupidest thing you've come up with since the
polymer/alloy idiocy.
