CAPE CORAL, Fla.– A Cape Coral resident caught someone on video blowing grass clippings into a canal using a leaf blower.
The video was taken on SW 6th Place in a backyard near the water.
FGCU Water School Professor Dr. Barry Rosen said too much nutrient-enriched yard waste entering the water can start an algae bloom.
“Well blue-green algae, in general, is a natural part of the system but when you get excessive growth and forms that are toxic in there then wildlife can be impacted,” said Rosen.
