PINEY POINT, Fla. â Millions of gallons of wastewater being released from Piney Point into Tampa Bay could be ecologically damaging.
The water is rich in phosphorus and nitrogen which are nutrients. Scientists say suddenly adding a large amount of nutrients to natural water will result in algae and bacteria growth.
Algae can suffocate fish and as a result, there may be fish kills or red tides associated with this.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said Sunday that crews are working to prevent the collapse of a large wastewater pond in Manatee County area while evacuating the area.
