FYI

Just got my December copy of Florida Scuba News.
www.scubanews.com
and they had a story by Danielle Markel on the sewage pipe pumping poo-poo out into the Boynton reef system,Yuck!

Well up on the Great lakes we cut this down by drinking from the water we dump our waste in yum-yum!

There are many articles on the subject, but few actions.
