requires a complete rethink on how to handle it. Management of the wetlands and tidal basins, and what is literally a yearly problem of toxic algae blooms/the "red tide", which demands major controls of fertilizer runoff. And that leads to the persistent low oxygen levels i the surrounding waters, killing the fish.

When you have a loon running the state, it basically forces you to wait him out and hope that someone with an actual brain, can become governor.

Literally every single year I read about that just like I read about what happens with Lake Erie and its annual algae blooms - exasperated by the same type of thing - overuse of and runoff from certain fertilizers - https://www.cleveland.com/news/2021/05/2021-lake-erie-harmful-algal-bloom-prediction-smaller-but-more-severe.html
