Justin Matthews reports
LARGO, Fla. - Three environmentalist groups Suncoast Waterkeeper, Tampa Bay Waterkeeper, and Our Children s Earth Foundation settled a lawsuit with the city of Largo to prevent nitrogen from being pumped into Old Tampa Bay.
The groups settled similar lawsuits with Sarasota County, Gulfport, and St. Petersburg in the past five years. Largo knew before we even initiated this case that they had issues, they were not hiding their heads under the sand, they were making efforts to address them, said Justin Bloom, the founder of Suncoast Waterkeeper.
