    The best thing they can do is simply STOP SPRAYING. The problems with the lake started when the over spraying started.

    The lake was kept at 10 to 12 a long while (years) when they were working on the dike not all that long ago.
    You cannot bring it back by just the stoppage of spraying, with the water this dirty you will not have light penetration. It really started with the last hurricane and high water, with high water the waves just rip the grass from the bottom and then its gone forever.
    It's a lake not a reservoir and needs to treated as such. Too many people like the high water so it's easy to navigate but that's not going to work long term.

    I was told not to worry unless water got below 12. Guess I have been really lucky for the last year (when I moved here) because I been running all over the place! Better re-think this.
