"We have over 100,000 septic tanks in Miami-Dade County -- still to this day. And we need to transition those septic tanks and connectors to our sewer system, which is also aging, ASAP because those septics are just spewing wastewater into our groundwater. You know Miami-Dade only stays 6 feet above sea level, so whatever goes through our groundwater goes into our bay, and that's pretty disgusting," he told ABC News.
Lynskey explained they are not just focused on septic, they're also concerned about the canal systems keeping South Florida from turning back into a swamp. As sea levels rise, the canals pick up more trash, nitrogen and phosphorus from fertilizer used on farms and lawns and carries it right into Biscayne Bay.In this Aug. 12, 2020, file photo, trash and dead fish float on the surface of the water in Downtown Miami, on Biscayne Bay.
But Miami Waterkeeper said the city needs big changes in its sewage infrastructure to prevent more fish kills and preserve the bay. "Nobody's come up with a magic bullet, we've already built billions of dollars of buildings and infrastructure. How do we make those survive? We're still very much grappling with all that," Lynskey said.

AlfredSpellman Loved your movie 537, Mr. Spellman. Chilling and brings back memories from 20 years ago, I was only 12 but I remember those few months very well. My parents told me history was being made. I am saddened to know how much better we would have been as a country if Al Gore won. 😔

More ppl at home, less sewage treatment, more dumping of waste. Intelligent ppl understand why; stupid ppl vote...
Clim change is real!
Is that garbage floating in the water? Why isn't that cleaned up?
They should try electing governors who give a shit
Maybe the bozo GOP in Florida will see with their own eyes the effects of climate change and pollution. (Doubtful...but at least they get to see the disgusting results and then come up with whatever circus reasons to explain it).
