One of the best things we can do on Marco Island to clean-up our waterways is to reduce the amount of Nitrogen that we add to them. If the levels of nitrogen in our canals gets beyond a safe level it can cause overgrowth of algae and other things which cause murkiness, killing of healthy sea grass, and loss of fish and other marine life.
