TOMORROW: SBA Opens Recovery Centers to Assist Businesses Affected by Red Tide and Toxic Algae Bloom
Washington, D.C. – The office of U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) today announced that the Small Business Administration (SBA) tomorrow will open recovery centers to assist businesses affected by red ride and blue-green algae blooms along the Treasure Coast and Southwest Florida.
In August, Rubio surveyed algae bloom at St. Lucie Lock and Dam in Stuart as well as area damage from blue-green algae and red tide in Captiva. He also introduced the South Florida Clean Coastal Waters Act, legislation that would direct the Interagency Task Force on Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) to assess the causes and consequences of HABs in Lake Okeechobee and around Florida’s south and southwestern coast to determine the federal resources available to solve these challenges. He recently secured $1 million for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to assist areas affected by harmful algal blooms. An extended timeline of Rubio’s efforts to fight the South Florida algal blooms can be found here.
