Video this week, since Hurricane Irma 24/7, watch it a couple of times:
Meanwhile Miami Beach is pumping and pumping untreated water into the Bay with their sea level rise fix (some stupid plan you have there Miami Beach) according to the article in the Miami Herald today, titled "The hurricane sent foul water from the sewers into Biscayne Bay. What happens now?":
While it’s not yet clear precisely what’s causing the problems, the likely culprit is the pollution, which over the years has caused the bay to grow less and less healthy, driving away fish and wiping out more than 23 square miles of seagrass meadows.
“You’re reducing the resiliency of the bay to withstand these types of disturbances,” Kelble said.
The NOAA team and other scientists are in the midst of performing an ecosystem assessment and expect results in the next few weeks.
This is the video from April 27th of the same area, Seminole Boat Ramp:

I always thought this was from the storm drains.
It would be nice to reduce upland waters impacting the bay, but it is apparently not a government priority.
Storm drains, when it is not raining? Besides, storms drains are polluting.
Sprinklers and people washing the sidewalks go into the storm drains. People are supposed to avoid leaves and pollutants from going into the grates. I didn't say they aren't polluting, just that its illegal to do so.
How roc you know it's polluted?
What does it tell you?
I'm going to bet Miami Beach has written zero violations and spend zero dollars on tracking down structures and areas with leaky sewage pipes. For those that don't know, Miami Beach changed its online software for building and code violations. Makes it impossible to see inspectors notes.
