Reef Rescue needs more letters...

Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) wants more
comments on the Lake Worth proposal to pump nutrient-laden wastewater
into a coral reef ecosystem.

At a public meeting held Monday, paid consultants for the City of Lake
Worth tried to convince a standing room only crowd that a little bit
more pollution dumped on an already stressed coral reef would not hurt
anything. They argued the Palm Beach County coastline already receives
about 15 tons of wastewater discharge a day, which combined with the
effects of pollution and global warming already causes considerable
stress on the coral reefs. They say the Lake Worth discharge would be
incidental.

However, Reef Rescue and the environmental coalition presented
internationally recognized experts in ocean sciences to refute the
assessment. Dr. Thomas Goreau, the Harvard-educated president of the
nonprofit Global Coral Reef Alliance, and Dr. Mike Risk, professor of
environmental sciences at McMasters University in Canada, vehemently
argued that there is no such thing as -a safe level- of ocean
contaminants. A scientist from Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute
presented data showing the reef was already dangerously close to the
tipping point.

At a time when the reefs of Florida are all but dead from nutrient
overloads, FDEP is ready to issue a permit to dump just a little bit
more poison on our reefs.

FDEP wastewater permit writer Tim Powell asked for more public comment.
He wants to hear from you. He requested your personal emails be sent
directly to him and not from the Reef Rescue preformatted email sender.

You can send your personal comment to Tim Powell at:
Tim.Powell@dep.state.fl.us

Please distribute this email widely, post to other diving lists, foward
it to anyone on your mailing list who may care about saving the
imperiled reef system of Florida.

Got my copy today, will put pen to paper this afternoon.

Why do you put pen to paper to write an e-mail? That's pretty
backward even for you. (Bottom posted on purpose, since that's simply
good netiquette)
