35. Hope Floats Amongst The Hyacinths: Eliminating Nuisance Vegeation While Exporting Nutrients For Improved Water Quality; with Nick Szabo, founder of AguaCulture and Mike Elfenbein, Sportsman/Conservationist

Sometimes the answer to your biggest problem is in fact the problem itself. In this episode, we discuss a new pilot project in Glades County involving AguaCulture and my family's Lazy JP Ranch. This pilot project sponsored by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission along with the United States Army Corps of Engineers, co-sponsored by the South Florida Water Management District, and funded through the Florida Department of Environmental Protection seeks to employee a radically improved system for mechanical harvesting of invasive aquatic vegetation, converting it into an organic resource that leads to the removal of nutrients from our state's water bodies. No one method of control will solve the challenge ahead of us, but this new approach has the potential to be a very powerful weapon in the arsenal.
