Environmental context
The plant's discharge flows into the South Florida watershed, which drains through the Everglades ecosystem into Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. This region is ecologically sensitive, supporting seagrass beds, mangrove forests, and diverse marine species. Nutrient loading from wastewater can contribute to algal blooms and hypoxic conditions in coastal waters, making treatment quality critical for downstream environmental health.
