This week on the Conservation Conversation, we explore Florida, one of the world's biggest tourist destinations to see how safe it really is. With news reports of flesh eating diseases, cancer clusters, blue green algae and red tide, just to name a few, Florida faces a unique set of challenges to clean water.
With over 120 million annual visitors, the state has to dance between tourism dollars and public health.
