wtsp.com sptimes.com Wayne Genthner, captain of Wolfmouth Charters and an avid scuba diver, calls it "one of the greatest environmental disasters in the history of Florida." Cynthia Heil, senior research scientist at the institute, said the effect on marine life on the sea floor is the worst since a massive Red Tide bloom in 1971. Although oxygen-starved zones like this can occur naturally as an outgrowth of Red Tide, some environmentalists say longstanding pollution in the area has made the ecosystem more fragile. They say that could make it more difficult for marine life in the gulf waters to recover. But some are skeptical about how much recovery is possible. Genthner said he does not expect a full recovery even in five years, because the water quality is poorer now than it was in 1971 and the damage is so great. "This is not like some goldfish dying in your tank and you shed a tear and flush him down the toilet," Genthner said. "This is the tank. This is everything." Shades cant go diving, red tide kill all the fish, it will take at least 5 years for fish to come back. What good is it living in an area with dead fish and polluted water for a diver? sptimes.com This girl jump in canal and die, she probably swallow some red tide and it kill her too - so so silly.
