This is a video commentary on presentations made to the Suffolk County Legislature at their July 25, 2023 General Meeting, which highlights the shortcomings of the wastewater treatment strategies affecting the watersheds and estuaries of Suffolk County, New York, USA. The producer questions the outcomes of reducing nitrogen levels in the coastal waters and the effects on the shellfish industry, seagrasses and toxic algae blooms. Suffolk County was considering a resolution to approve an 1/8 percent sales tax increase to provide infrastructure to further reduce the nitrogen levels in the coastal estuaries.
