There has been a lot of news coverage lately about too much fresh water from Lake Okeechobee being directed into the estuary systems on both the east and west coasts of Florida. The water used to flow into the Everglades which reached all the way up to the Lake, but now is some distance south. The levies around Lake O were built to keep flooding like what happened after the 1928 hurricane from happening again, but they created the problem of water from the lake damaging the coastal ecosystems. You're darned if you do and darned if you don't.
