Cape Coral first used a method called a bubble curtain during the 2018 crisis.
Peter Formica’s new normal includes checking the canal near his Cape Coral home every day.
“I am forever watching it because the minute I see some green I’m going to be on the phone,” Formica said.
The first sign of green, Formica fears, will lead to thick gunk, blue-green algae.
“You could walk across the water, the way it looked. It burned your eyes and made your throat scratchy,” Formica said.
