There was a significant fish kill in the Indian River Lagoon yesterday, with dead catfish floating from Sebastian to Ft. Pierce.
In later September, the City of Palm Bay’s sewage treatment system, overwhelmed with stormwater from heavy rains, discharged an estimated 4 million gallons of semi-treated sewage into Turkey Creek, which flows into the Indian River Lagoon.
The Palm Bay discharge may not be the cause of the fish kill, though. Summer algae blooms have already taken a deadly toll on on fish in the northern Indian River Lagoon, and may be the cause of the current fish kill in Indian River and St. Lucie Counties.

A similar problem existed decades ago in the Chesapeake Bay and the citizenry working in cooperation with various governmental entities was able to virtually erase the problem. This was done through cooperation which now seems lacking in the region that is home to the Indian River Lagoon. The first step in resoliving the problem is to elect those who can work cooperatively with others at all levels of government. . Far too many people today do not treasure the Treasure Coast.
