So yes, work is being done.  Expect to see results in another 5-10 years




IF




people continue to pay attention to the problem.




It took 50 yrs to screw up the Lagoon,




expect it to take a long time to clean up.  



Interesting, thanks Tom, can you expand BMAP for us regular folk lol?

Sure -

FL Dept of Environmental Protection, in cooperation with the St. Johns River Water Managment District, has set a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for the various basins of the Lagoon.

The TMDL represents FL's numeric criteria requirement for pollutants in a water body as spelled out in the Clean Water Act.

The Basin Management Action Plan (BMAP) is the agreed upon, formalized, legally binding plan for reaching pollutant levels less than or equal to the TMDL.

Lots more here:  http://www.dep.state.fl.us/water/tmdl/

You can find the IRL BMAPs under the BMAP link to the right.
