I've lived in Florida for 50 years. Yes! It is gross! Think about all of the dumping going on! I live in Jacksonville where the St. John's River runs through the middle of the city - talk about nasty! And to think that it empties into the Atlantic! Makes you want to quit eating seafood! People seemingly don't care about dumping their ashtrays out of their car windows too - don't they realize that eventually the rain will wash it down our drains and go into the river and into the ocean? Gross! Would you want to drink old ashtray water? Besides tourism is a major part of Florida's economy - that's a whole bunch of extra waste Florida has to dispose of! I can't tell you the last time I stuck a toe in the ocean!
