Excellent piece. I live in downtown Sarasota and am a diver. The waters are so dirty I have contracted MRSA in a cut in my hand, a mysterious bacterial infection in my mouth around my regulator mouthpiece, and 2 separate lung infections from red tide. I no longer go in the water or near the beach. When red tide is present I can’t leave my house. Ron DeSantis and the GOP controlled legislature are destroying the state of Florida. Gross incompetence and willful ignorance on their part will eventually render the state uninhabitable.
