Larry Thompson appointed by Gov Ron DeSantis to Suwannee River board

The owner of a firewood company has been appointed to the Suwannee River Water Management District Governing Board by Gov. Ron DeSantis. Larry Thompson’s addition to the board still leaves it two short of the nine members it should have. Thompson is vice president and owner of Nature’s Source Products, based in Lake City, and the president and owner of Straw America, according to a district news release. He has volunteered with the Suwannee County Housing Authority and CareerSource Florida Crown, the release states. The governing boards of Florida’s five water management districts are supposed to have nine members. DeSantis, however, has left vacancies unfilled for long periods of time on several boards.

Florida to take over federal wetlands permitting role

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency granted Florida authority Thursday to issue wetlands permits that were previously handled by the federal government, greatly increasing state responsibility for development affecting waterways. The change means the state’s Department of Environmental Protection will replace the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in approving or denying most permits for work that places “dredged or fill material” dirt in wetlands or waterways. The decision was condemned by a legion of environmental groups and cheered by business groups and politicians who argued the state can make those choices faster and more sensibly than federal regulators.

Israeli scientists turn the tide against toxic water bacteria

2,961 shares An Israeli startup has developed a new weapon to fight the spread of a killer bacteria that threatens to turn lakes and oceans toxic. Authorities in Florida called in BlueGreen Water Technologies after two large lakes showed signs of infestation by algal blooms that grow from cyanobacteria and have contaminated bodies of water across the globe. The company has successfully treated similar outbreaks as far away as China, Russia and South Africa. “We pride ourselves,” said the company’s chief technology officer Moshe Harel, “in taking care of the world’s most precious resource: water.” Cyanobacteria are present in most lakes and oceans, but a buildup of nutrients from fertilizers and pollution, together with rising temperatures, can accelerate their growth into harmful algal blooms that starve the water of oxygen and turn it toxic. The “alarming increase” is “threatening sustainability of lakes and reservoirs worldwide,” according to researche
