What about RF radiation from Fat Albert ?
Id like that boat here on grand lake okla.
It would be cool if the billionaires like Paul Tudor Jones that donate to Bonefish and Tarpon Trust could go talk to the billionaire sugar farmers and tell them to quit being greedy aholes.
Happy Earth Day!!!
This isn't going to help as I live in St. Louis and I am not an itchyologist just a concerned citizen with a love of fish. This is so concerning. It looks like they spin and pivot around what we would think of as inner ear equilibrium or vertigo. Thank you guys. People are paying attention!
Is it an attack?
What they need to do is excavate sediment in the areas of occurrence, put it in a controlled environment and introduce healthy fish. I don’t think this is a dinoflagellate. It wouldn’t be so intense or widespread imo. Have they tried reproducing the effect with the suspected pathogen in healthy baitfish like mullet or pinfish?
Awsum guy i have been telling these bone head text book bioligist this. They only go by what they read. I have a few pics going back to 2019 when it really may have started
Im just looking at color of that water there living in says alot.
From Ants To Sheep Cattle etc walking in circles ,For we're a species THAT DONT TakeHeed to Godly SignsNWarnings oh forsaken mankind
I feel a relief when I see Jesus is working on this issue.
compare the samples to the water coming coming out of the lake O discharge.
It’s too obvious. That has to be the issue
Support ocean observations if you want constant observations! IOOS and MBON along with BBT need your support.
Who is Flap Pallot?! ... sorry, had to. But maybe fix the typo so more people come across his important message. And keep up the good work!
Hi. What would be the top 3 flies for those Florida permits ? Much appreciated.
That's what everyone seems to want! Let's just poison everything to cover up our mistakes! Sounds kinda lazy don't it?
You need to get this message to local and national news, and raise awareness. Thanks Flip, for doing your part. Our drinking water is not negotionalable!
Thank you Flip and BTT for raising awareness on this issue. It is helpful to have a scientific organization of your caliber address this and move Floridians towards enacting meaningful change.
I can’t believe more people haven’t viewed this video from Southern Florida. You did a fine job putting it together. A Belize trip is coming up for me in a few months and watching this video has again whet my appetite for pursuing my first ever permit. I’ve caught loads of bonefish, barracuda, some jacks and I’ve seen permit but… Hopefully I can connect the dots and experience the nirvana so beautifully illustrated by you guys. Thank you for sharing.
The public needs to know about this issue!!!
🌴 the studies being done , the ways to eliminate the problem is eliminate the source , where are the sources? , I’ve just joined BTT , I’m a retired hazmat supervisor, has there been studies done in the port of manatee area and what are the findings , in both fish and substrate, ( surface substrate , and deep substrate, ) would like to find out contamination levels , as Tampa bay is such an important eco estuary for sport fish, BTT is opening my eyes and I’ll be following their findings .
Thank you for your questions! There are, in general terms, three sources of glyphosate. 1) application by state, regional, and local resource management agencies as a tool to control vegetation growth in waterbodies (like lakes) and water control structures (like canals and ditches). 2) agriculture. 3) residential application. We are not aware of any studies of glyphosate (or other contaminants) in Port Manatee. We suggest that you reach out to Tampa Baywatch, Tampa Bay Waterkeeper, they are most likely to know if such sampling has been done.
The only thing Obama did that made Much sense
need more of this shit
Is there any studies being done in Tampa Bay Area ? A few fisherman reported of catching bones near the power company area
Thanks for asking! BTT does conduct research in Tampa Bay periodically, including for the recently published pharmaceutical contaminants in redfish study. Learn more here: www.bonefishtarpontrust.org/blog/2023-04-03-pharmaceutical-contaminants-discovered-in-florida-redfish/

I will forever be a costa customer because of this kind of work. Most brands support dumb influences, but Costa is putting their money where their mouth is. 🤙🏻
Great job Alice & Will🔥🔥🤙
Well done. I wanna go Permit fishing in the lower keys...
Awesome video!!
This is awesome. Great work!
Dear God. we have f%cked things up.
I thought the people of Florida cared about the wildlife? Or do they mean swinging? Someone with power should do something. My $20 or vote don't help.
Will's daughter crying, is the epic father daughter moment!
A little voice over, of what I am watching, would be good. Maybe some elevator music too?
