Aerial footage of @RoyalCaribbean Serenade of the Seas creating massive turbidity disturbance at Port of Key West. This used to happen 800 times a year and is why we voted them off the island.

Congratulations to @StevenNekhaila. We've been on opposite sides of some issues, but when we've sat down together we found mutual respect and a lot of issues in common. Always great to see a Key Wester rise to the national level.
Damn, I guess I better start using X. I’ve been sane this long, might as well try something new. Honored to be elected Chair of the Libertarian National Committee! It’s time to take the LP to the next level—more fundraising, more candidates, and real political wins.

Brooklyn: Dead whale found on the bow of MSC Meraviglia. Ships are the leading cause of death for whales. 20,000 a year are killed. There are measures available to decrease these deaths. Are shipping and cruise lines willing to implement them? ship-technology.com/features…
A whale arrived on bow of the MSC ship MERAVIGLIA Sat 5/4/24. The @USACE_NY vessel DRIFTMASTER removed it and took it to their debris barge in NJ. @amseasorg is reliable source going forward. @gothamwhale in case this was in yr catalogue. #whales #whalestrikes #cruiseships #portofny #maritime #RedHook #Brooklyn #NYC #WaterStories

ICYMI: The sawfish that was the first-ever attempt to rescue one of the endangered species in an ongoing die-off has died. But wildlife officials say they’ll keep trying.

Matt is 100% correct.
Mote Marine Labs gets so much fawning adoration from the press, but in reality it's an agriculture funded greenwashing operation for republican interests. And it's a powerful one.

Turns out there’s good money in watching sawfish die in fish-tanks, growing coral in labs & watching it die in the ocean, & greenwashing cruise ship operations in Key West. Congrats on all your revenue ⁦@MoteMarineLab⁩. mote.org/news/article/mote-n…

We pump millions of gallons of pharmaceutical laden human waste into the ocean off South Florida daily and everyone is wondering why massive algae mats are smothering all the coral and fish are spinning around in circles and acting like Philly zombies #nature

This crisis emerging out of the Florida Keys is an alarming reminder of the water-quality crisis in Florida. We haven't done enough to rein in the pollution that leads to water problems, like the destruction of an endangered species. ecowatch.com/noaa-sawfish-fl…
