Jacqui Sulek, President of the Four Rivers Audubon Society, displays a teaching aid she presented to state legislators. “A lot of people are making decisions about rivers, but had never been on them,” she said at a meeting of the Ichetucknee Springs Basin Working Group. She holds a sample of bright green healthy eel grass from the Ichetucknee (left) and grass that is smothered with slimy algae (right). Excess nitrogen and other nutrients feed the algae.  Photo © LakeCityJournal.com
