Just listened in on an call with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers re: Lake Okeechobee - lake is actually rising, no releases to the St. Lucie yet but sounds like it's only a matter of time

[Friends of the Everglades @FoEverglades]

ALERT: If this toxic algae bloom persists, cyanobacteria-laced water will be flowing from Lake Okeechobee to the three northern estuaries: St. Lucie, Caloosahatchee and Lake Worth Lagoon. #FixtheFLO
