Fort Lauderdale is usually used in these parts as an example to describe what we don’t want the Naples area to become. However, after a trip over there for the weekend, there is one aspect of Fort Lauderdale I wish we could have here in Naples: Clean water.
The water by the Fort Lauderdale beaches is clean and clear. There are no mounds of dead fish, seaweed, algae or other organic material piled by the waterline.
No one is sneezing and coughing from the effects of red tide.
You can stand waist deep in the water and see your toes instead of the murky green tint we enjoy here in Naples.
The water in Naples was noticeably cleaner as recently as five years ago.
It’s a disgrace the Gulf of Mexico is being destroyed through our own apathy and ignorant actions. Shame on us.
