There was also Brazil dumping oranges, then buying up all the processing equipment. So now so much Florida orange juice is 80% Brazilian, people don’t realize how fucked the ecosystem is.

Meanwhile the sugarcane plantations are happily dumping endless fertilizer into the canals.

I haven’t been to South Florida in awhile, how are the estuaries? Way back when I was sensing something bad happening as tarpon and snook were getting caught at beaches instead of tidal pools and canals, my theory being there was so much crap being dumped by the farms upstream, or the tidal marshes got so hypoxic they didn’t have any food.

wtf? It’s such a popular IP, why would they do that?
