The Washington Post recently released an article about the massive seagrass die-off in Florida Bay. Over 40,000 acres of seagrass have died since last summer, a result of years of water-mismanagement not allowing enough water to reach Florida Bay, which led to hypersalinity (too much salt water) and caused this die-off. Read the full article here.
