Environmental Issue in Tampa Bay

A quick search of the site didn’t turn anything up on this which was a little surprising. If a thread exists on this somewhere, I’d appreciate someone pointing me to it. If one doesn’t already exist, are we all watching the environmental disaster unfolding in Tampa Bay right now??

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbs...ay-2021-04-05/

I keep the boat about 15 miles from the site, closer to the mouth of the bay. My diver has suspended service for the time being- reasonable enough. I have to wonder how long it will take for this to unfold. At the current rate, they could have the thing emptied in a “controlled” manner in a couple weeks I guess. Then we wait for the absolutely epic red tide as things heat up this year. OR, the catastrophic failure happens and heavy metal contaminants get out which could kill God knows what.
