With three decades of research focused on the effects of land-based nutrient pollution on water quality, both here in Florida and globally, Dr. Brian Lapointe is an internationally respected expert and author of over 90 publications in the field of algal physiology, biochemistry, and ecology. In this episode, we have an in-depth conversation about Dr. Lapointe's findings regarding the main causes of Florida's water quality issues, how our state is a microcosm of the global crisis we all face if nothing is done. It's an exhaustive and comprehensive discussion of the topic and one not to be missed.
