Stormwater Treatment Areas: The Constructed Wetlands

Stormwater Treatment Areas, STAs are constructed wetlands - the largest in the world -- designed to remove phosphorus from the water as it flows south through the Everglades and into Florida Bay.
This video was created by FAU's Center for Environmental Studies in partnership with the USGS Greater Everglades Priority Ecosystem Sciences Program for the IHE-FAU Delft Annual International Water Professionals Program.

If this is cleaning up Florida's waters, how come I saw corals and hundreds of fish in Biscayne Bay in 2017, but found nothing but dead coral covered in algae and almost no fish when I went back in 2019? And who should I blame for the antibiotic resistant bacterial infection I got from swimming in Biscayne Bay? Three people died of this in just the week I was hospitalized.
