The Glades is one of the most delicate ecosystems in the world.
There’s already a billion dollar plan to restore some of the original water flow south. The Ag fields south of Lake Okeechobee pollute the glades and kill off the saw grass if phosphate levels are not kept to a minimum.
A portion of the plan that has been partially implemented is to restore a ring of filter marshes between the Ag ares south of the lake and the glades which significantly reduces phosphate levels farther down the drainage.
The complexity of the system wasn’t a concern when the Army Corps drained the swamp.
A good video showing the propaganda mindset back in the day:

Except the Migratory Species Act and Endangered Species Act prohibit sending water into large regions south of the lake.
Ironic how the flood control system created a stable habitat for migratory birds and endangered species thereby preventing its natural use as part of the southward flow of water from Okeechobee into the Everglades.

Not posting it to you specifically, but how is this algae generally dealt with?
