It is home to 4,300 species, including many of the state's remaining manatees, whose large, paddle-tailed bodies graze slowly through the shallows. For decades, the lagoon has also been a destination for Florida's municipal sewage.

Residential septic tanks have kept leaching into the water, too. Over time, that pollution fed algae blooms that choked out the area's seagrass-manatees' main food source.
