#2 No surprise there. Six months ago, the glorious announcement was made that all sewer water dumped into the rivers will now be treated at the brand-new sewage treatment plant! It'll take some years for the whole city to get onto the new system, though, they need to build more. But some of the sewage isn't dumped directly into the river any more. Wow!

#3 Much of it was being transported to farms as feed for pigs and other animals, according to news reports.

Oh yeah, forgot to say, that'a a total lie. Anyone who bothered to investigate would surely find a bunch of pig farmers saying, "What, algae? Never heard of it" and a big black eye for the government. Of course, censorship makes sure this will never happen.

#4 Used to get algae blooms and red tides when I was at Centcom/SOCCent, MacDill AFB Tampa.

#7 I hear that Auburn University and the University of Tennessee already have teams assembled to deal with such an event.

Coming soon to America - algae pill dietary supplements and gourmet pet food.
