WEBVTT THESE DISCHARGES HAVE BEGUN AGAIN. ANGELA: THAT IS RIGHT. BUSINESS OWNERS I HAVE BEEN TALKING TO TODAY AND THE LAST FEW DAYS SAY SOME OF THE BUSINESSES ARE ALREADY HURTING. AND NOW THEY ARE SAYING NOW THAT THE DISCHARGES ARE BACK ON, THEY ARE HOPING NOT TO SEE A REPEAT OF 2016. >> LOOKING FOR THE GREEN ALGAE FLOATING ON THE TOP. ANGELA: THE MANAGER OF CENTRAL MARINE HERE IN STUART IS KEEPING AN EYE OUT FOR GREEN ALGAE. >> BECAUSE WE’RE HAVING THE TSUNAMI SORT OF SPEAK OF ALGAE DUMPED ON US WHICH WILL MIX WITH THIS AND CAUSE POSSIBLE ANOTHER MAP LIKE WE HAD IN 2016. ANGELA: THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE IN 2016. THE ALGAE WAS SO THICK,IT JUST SAT ON TOP OF THE WATER FOR WEEKS. AND BUSINESS OWNERS ON THE TREASURE COAST ARE CONCERNED HISTORY COULD REPEAT ITSELF NOW THAT THE LAKE O DISCHARGES RESUMED FRIDAY MORNING. >> MY LARGEST CONCERN IS THE FACT THAT I SAW PICTURES OF THE FACT THAT IT’S ALREADY GONE TO THE BLUE CAKE SITUATION ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE LOCKS, WHICH MEANS IT WILL COME THROUGH TO US AND IT’S ALREADY HIGHLY TOXIC AND COULD COAGULATE WITH WHAT WE ALREADY GOT EXISTING. ANGELA: AND LIKE IN 2016, IT WOULD NOT ONLY BE BAD FOR BUSINESS BUT WOULD ALSO CAUSE HEALTH CONCERN >> THE SMELL THE IRRITATION OF THE THROAT EVERYTHING THAT EVERYONE HAS DESCRIBED WAS THERE, AND FOR SEVERAL DAYS, WE DID HAVE TO SHUT DOWN BUSINESS SIMPLY BECAUSE PEOPLE DIDN’T WANT TO BRING THEIR BOATS OUT IN IT, NOR COULD WE GET THE STRAPS DOWN THROUGH THE MAT TO GET THE BOATS OU ANGELA: ED STOUT, THE OWNER OF THIS KAYAK AND CANOE RENTAL BUSINESS, IS ALSO CONCERNED. AND SO IS TARA JORDAN, WHO RUNS THIS SURF SHOP NEAR THE STUART BEAC THE ALGAE PROBLEM WAS SO BAD FOR SEBASTIAN LAHARA. HE CLOSED HIS KAYAK BUSINESS. >> IT’S VERY UPSETTING TO SEE. YOU WORK 11 YEARS FOR YOUR BUSINESS AND IT JUST TOTALLY STOPS TO WHERE I CAN’T DO ANYTHING ANYMORE TO KEEP IT GOING. ANGELA: I ASKED BUSINESS OWNER WHAT DO THEY WANT -- WHAT THEY WANT TO SEE DONE AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE
