Lake Apopka North Shore |
From what I've read, they manufactured pesticides and the chemicals that made up the composition were illegally dumped into Lake Apopka; pesticides from farmers use on the north shore also drained into the lake. Farms on the north shore were bought out and the land turned back into non-tillable land. Studies have show that SOME alligators in the lake are being born with deformities.
Don't know if I would ever want to eat fish out of there.
