Boating is important to our economy and for recreation. Clean rivers bring travelers to our town and boost our economy. Facebook boating groups are getting the word out that the algae will damage the boat engines. Fishing and pleasure boats are not utilizing the river. I live on the ICW and boats travel from the welcome center to Eliz City. Not being able to enjoy the river is so sad. Note: 7/17/19 Site visit found extensive duckweed, but no algae.
