Florida fish is in serious no laughing trouble ... If the cold weather continues, fish, manatees and a whole lot more will die off.
It was about 30 degrees in South Florida this AM at my place, with temperatures not expected to reach 50 F during the day. And colder overnight today, than last night.
The only good thing is the Iguanas are dropping like flies, so we are hoping people haul these non-native pests off to the dump.
