Excessive Nutrients Threaten Joe's Bayou Fisheries
Destin Waterways Board on Tuesday agreed to monitor Joe's Bayou as nutrients from Destin sewage ponds threaten marine life. Oyster beds are dying from nutrient overload while studies link seepage from percolation ponds to the bayou. The panel will track Joe's Bayou and Indian Bayou monthly with Northwest Florida Fisheries Commission, and consider a water flushing project for Destin Harbor with a new pump and potential funding questions.
