I live on an Island in Tampa bay, the sea grass is growing on a once barren bottom. The return of pelicans here is another indication of the bay's comeback. I grew up on the Ohio river, PU it was ultra bad. It's shocking how clear and blue it is now. When I was a kid you never saw eagles, now you see many.
Still, much needs to be done to stop pollution.

We have water restrictions here. You can only water your yard one day a week and not from 8AM till 6PM. Water fountains are a no no. I'm a gardener, we are so so lucky we are getting rains. Once a week doesn't get it. With everybody watering on one of two days, the water pressure sucks and the spacing of sprinkler heads on old systems makes them inadequate. I preach to people to give up on grass and go with ground covers that can make it on cosiderably less water and almost no insecticides that end up in the bay.
