But we’re dealing with the same old problem: Florida’s waters are in bad shape, and things are getting worse.
Manatees are dying in droves as seagrass dies off, some of it killed by blue-green algal blooms which block the sunlight.
Red tide decimated marine life along much of Florida’s Gulf coast this year. The Piney Point disaster dumped a year’s worth of nitrogen into Tampa Bay in just 10 days. Sewage spills continue to plague many regions, and our springs are being pumped dry for profit.
The only way to change this is to identify, elect and support leaders who put the well-being of our fragile waters first. That is our mission at VoteWater.
But we can’t do it without your help.
Your non-tax deductible donations this #GivingTuesday and throughout the year can help us fight political corruption and end the systemic pollution and mismanagement of our waterways.
Florida’s got a long way to go. But your support can get us closer to the clean-water future we all deserve.
With gratitude,
The VoteWater team
