Water Quality Along Florida Beaches The Worst Its Ever Been

Where

Great videos. Keep up documenting this area. Ken from Clearwater.

As a kid i would go there and dig clams.....

That rivet looking thing is off a beach umbrella

Hope you took Katie some.. 😊 beautiful beach day Jose 🎉

Glf water is toxic!

Manatee & Sarasota counties dumped over 100 million gallons of untreated sewer water into the rivers and bays during Debby and for a week after due to heavy rains. I wouldn’t stick my big toe in any waters in Manatee and Sarasota county, unfortunately all the development and population increase has ruined it here, you can expect a bad red tide any day due to all the nitrogen from the sewage water, so freaking sad……..

Oneco Farmer’s market looks really cool! My kids would love that place!

My brother lives in Venice and is wanting to go back to the Pacific Ocean in Big Sur, Carmel California area. He left CA for FL and is ready to sell the brand new house in Venice for CA with the redwood trees and the dramatic coastline of Big Sur.

something is going on. in the last 2 years i am not seeing the shore birds i usually see.

Maybe what you saw was a porpoise (?)...not normally common in Florida but it's possible.

Did the Haitians do this to?

If possible more food videos. Jose knows good food

They say they figured out what caused the fish to swim in circles. It was from an algae that usually lives on the bottom and it got stirred up from the hurricane so that fish ingested it. I think it is true but there may be more to it than that.

That will be interesting if there is a red tide- I would have expected in sooner after the hurricane/massive flooding Sarasota had.

The cooler the water the lighter the blue...The warmer the water the darker the green...Just some ocean "Sea Dog" wisdom, handed down to me from some "Shrimpers" when I was a child...

I hope you find some good stuff with your metal detector. Have you tried it in sanibel?

Water was a darker green color at Upham beach

are you serious about eating the ibis?

The Hurricanes have polluted the water for a while.

Does it really surprise you that you find trash on the beach?

I walk Lido beach in the mornings and it is definitely different than normal even after storms. It’s now brown-green at best. Disgusting. I won’t let my feet touch the water anymore. I don’t care what they want to tell people. It’s not just storm stir up. It doesn’t smell as bad as some say but I’ve also seen more trash left on the beach in the past few weeks. It is a sad walk nowadays. I pray that it clears up soon.
