Gov. Scott to declare state of emergency over algae bloom on west coast
Gov. Rick Scott plans to declare a state of emergency following his tour of the Caloosahatchee River algae blooms in Cape Coral on Monday morning, reports say.
On Sunday, the Army Corps of Engineers temporarily suspended scheduled flows from Lake Okeechobee down the St. Lucie and Caloosahatchee rivers.
The Fort Myers News-Press reported Scott toured algae blooms on the state’s west coast Monday morning. The state of emergency is expected to include Martin and Lee counties.
“It’s frustrating right now and I’m sure if you’re a boater or fisherman or someone who wants to enjoy the water, it’s frustrating to see this in the water,” Scott said during a boat tour.
