Everything Always Now: Ten Thousand Islands, Florida

A fishing adventure on the fringe of the Everglades provides encounters with permit, cobia and shark. Meanwhile, the guides, locals and environmental advocates offer a window into the area's storied past, troubled present and hopeful future.

Septic is what the true problem is. “Big sugar” is not pumping water from below the lake back into the lake, to pollute it. The water is polluted with Nitrates long before it reaches Clewsiston and surrounding areas. Population explosion, and a lack of sewer infrastructure, is what is causing the vast majority of issues.

Incredible place ❤

Great video and information.
Lake Okeechobee discharges is killing this area.

[@bradcranford2264]

Big sugar is also a major factor

[@SnookOnTheFly]

It’s both of those things and more. When you get to the bottom of it it’s really our over indulgence that’s doing it.

[@danielsagehorn8758]

His hearts in the right place but he is clueless as to how the water flows around lake o

[@swflfishing2902]

Since the water flows south, Orlando’s polluted waters and all those north of Okeechobee are killing our ecosystem.

[@SnookOnTheFly]

It’s our overindulgence that’s killing the ecosystem.

My dad told me stories of how he fished in the 10k Islands so many times... glad I’m getting my introduction now.

[@ericdavidson4616]

Sugarcane farm's are killing it

[@bradcranford2264]

Definitely

[@SnookOnTheFly]

It’s so much more than the cane industry. To make a long story short; it’s our over indulgence that’s killing it.

[@danielsagehorn8758]

Finally someone who speaks the truth ​@SnookOnTheFly

[@danielsagehorn8758]

Sugar farming isn't good but no water flows north into lake Okeechobee from the cane fields like this guy shows in his video he needs facts! The cane field runoff flows south, ZERO water flows north into lake O

[@jasonlewis460]

Someone told me Brian Laundrie is here. I said there is a lot of reptiles here, so maybe

[@JohnDoe-wy1yd]

Can we get back to fishing and leave the environmental virtue signaling to others?

[@joshferris6941]

John Doe: they go hand and hand

[@bradcranford2264]

If the environmental issues aren't corrected there won't be any fishing.

[@unclewangg]

Can we get back to fishing durrrr no not if the water you fish in is dirty as hell dumbass
