Currents & Crossroads: A Vision for Florida’s Ocean and Coasts: Florida is at an all hands on deck moment. Harmful algal blooms are fouling our waterways with increasing frequency and severity. Tropical weather is becoming more extreme and more regular. Rising oceans are destroying municipal infrastructure and decimating critical wildlife habitat. But we as Floridians get to decide what the future holds. Join Jon Paul “J.P.” Brooker, lawyer and Director of Florida Conservation for Ocean Conservancy, in a discussion of the greatest threats that Florida iconic marine environment is facing, and what we as Floridians need to be doing to find solutions for our maritime state.
