In addition, the effectiveness of current fertilizer policy with regard
to continued red tide prevention and mitigation strategies should be explored
further. For example, the actual numbers of homeowners and
businesses that use fertilizers are unknown. Moreover,whether fertilizer
is applied inamounts that contribute significantly to nutrient levels in
coastalwaters or influence the frequency, size, or duration of Florida red
tides on a larger scale remains unclear. Regardless of scientific understanding
of cause and effect, however, policies that are unheard or misunderstood
are ineffective, expensive to implement and enforce, and
may provide a false sense of security in terms of their purported effectiveness;
and human compliance needs to be strengthened, or the policies
must be reassessed and revised.
