Partially treated sewage flows into the ocean off
the coast of Hollywood, Florida. The effluent meets government standards but
is rich in nitrogen, phosphorous and other nutrients that fuel the growth of
algae and bacteria. The outfall pipe, which has pumped millions of gallons of
sewage into the sea since the 1950's is thought to be impacting coral reefs
in the area and the fish that congregate around them.
