My neighbor is a good example of what is happening to the river. She wants a nice St. Augustine Lawn so much. Last winter when we had a tiny cool spell her lawn browned slightly as St. Augustine grass can do when night temps drop into the 30s. She saw brown and thought it needed more water. So she ran her water multiple days per week. Wet semi-dormant grass grows nastiness and she killed her lawn with fungus. She consulted a lawn guy. He told her she over-watered. She put down sod. She killed that with excessive irrigation with well water that is becoming increasingly salty due to over-pumping. Yesterday she had her husband out putting down granular WeedNFeed on what is about 50% bare dirt. Her irrigation runs 4 days per week. If Brevard County ceased all ornamental broadcast fertilizer we would see immediate water quality improvement in the lagoon before we ever got to the super expensive fixing of sewer infrastructure.

And she is one lonely lawn. The "Black's", "Slug-a-bug", "middleton's", "Trugreen" signs are all over the neighborhood from people getting their monthly broadcast of the Fertilizer/Herbicide/Insecticide/Fungicide cocktail.

Bloom has collapsed from Bee Line south to at least Magruder Ave. Water is very brown but relatively clear in Rockledge with transparency being closer to 1 meter rather than the 0.01 meter it has been since August. The bloom collapse took the dissolved oxygen with it. Yesterday there were a few dead sand perch and mojarras with hog chokers and tongue fish laying on the surface looking like floating leaf litter and hanging on by a thread. More things are belly up today. Mostly smaller and demersal things that can't get out of the way but starting to see dead sheeps, spades, reds, and at least one decent sized snook down by Indian River Club this morning. If you look on the bottom in shallow water there are dead blennies, gobies, and such laying on the bottom. Of course lot of dead catfish. Paddle from Rockledge up to the Bee Line and then down to Magruder and back to home street this morning. There were scattered dead fish throughout but definitely most death was between SR520 and Magruder. Not sure what things are like down toward Pineda; haven't been there in awhile.

Real time sensor shows super saturated oxygen down there so the bloom is still going there. Stinky floaters today up in Cocoa. Runners in the marathon should be thankful the wind was west. Just looked. DEP station at 192 shows oxygen at about 140% saturation during the diurnal peak. The station at SR528 showed oxygen at 1.2 mg/l (<30% saturated) on Friday morning and then that station stopped reporting.
