Black Water

Posted by michael on from the no-swimming dept.

Romancer writes "The Naples Daily News has an article about an environmental anomaly discovered by local fisherman: "They've dubbed it black water, and they're demanding that local, state and national government agencies find out what's causing it." With the Ice shelf falling and now this, solutions are helping but might be a bit late."

    If the thing is caused by warm water, what's to stop a bunch of these soon to be out of work fishermen from banning together, taking a trek down south, and hauling that huge as iceburg and dropping it in the Gulf right in the middle of the black water?

    Yeah, it would be somewhat expensive, but it beats getting your feet ate be microorganisms.
