Sewage Outfalls in Southeast Florida Coastal Waters
- "Six sewage pipes in Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties discharge about 300 million gallons a day into the ocean. While the sewage undergoes treatment, no one claims the water is perfectly clean. Rich in nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus and ammonia, the treated sewage is suspected of fueling the growth of algae that smother reefs." - excerpt from the Sun-Sentinel article.
