On February 11, 2026, Ed had the pleasure of bringing friend and world-famous wildlife artist Geoffrey Smith along on a flight to the Everglades Agricultural Area Reservoir Storm Water Treatment Area (STA) south of Lake Okeechobee.
These photos are part of a series of “reservoirs” that have been covered in my blog the past months and is meant to be educational. The South Florida Water Management District is to be congratulated on completing the STA, a feat! However we must ask ourselves about the significance of the algae bloom as seen in a couple of the photos below.
There is a lot to this subject but for today, it’s just the photos!
Included are the ” STA 1-W, N side of Reservoir, Reservoir STA, and A-FEB.” Thanks SFWMD!
