Our poor lagoon needs all the help it can get. It's a damn shame to see the condition it's in
Sediment traps in the canals seem like a great idea.

it's not the muck they/we are concerned with, it's the algae floating on top and how to stop it. Palm Beach County has it too.

Yes separate issues, but both are problematic. That muck blankets the bottom of the lagoon, kills the sea grass and bottom-dwelling creatures, decreases the depth of the lagoon, makes the lagoon look brown and gross and a host of other issues. Plus it contains nitrogen and phosphorus which is like food for the algae.
Not good.
These canals were a terrible idea.
I bet the IRL was so beautiful before we destroyed it.
