Ways To Reduce Gulf Of Mexico Red Tide

     Here are partial, but important steps to fight against red tide and help the Gulf of Mexico.
             1.  The health of the Gulf and all the industries and businesses a healthy Gulf supports must come before the interests of a wealthy few politically connected people in sugarcane/agribusinesses. This includes restoring the everglades and surrounding ecosystems and the natural flow of water.
             2. Create no fertilizer, no chemical zones for all lawns within 20 miles or more from the coastline. This means lawns go natural or native. Fertilizer and chemical runoff is fueling red tide and damaging the Gulf.
             3.  No feral or outdoor cats allowed within ten miles or more from the coast. Their feces is dangerous to wildlife, marine life, and unhealthy for Gulf waters and for people (domestic cats kill wildlife not only from their high prey drive).
             4. Heavy fines for dog owners that do not pick up their dog's waste.
             5.  Provide incentives for native plant and tree restoration and other vegetation beneficial for the Gulf region.
