Pirate Pipes Pollute Palm Beach

Try saying that 5x fast.

 

May 10th and May 11th 2008 had unbelievable visibility in the waters off Jupiter Island. The Jupiter Island is home to many millionaires and celebrities and The Nature Conservancy Blowing Rocks.

Coral Cove Park is a local spot for great snorkeling and underwater digital photography.

I found 4 Pirate Pollution Pipes in 8 foot of water just off shore.

Someone once mentioned pirate polluting to me in the past, I had thought they we speaking of dumping toxins directly into storm drains, this appears to be a different species altogether.

Where do these pipes lead? Who is responsible for removal of the pipes? Can the pipes be closed off permanently?

  2. The DEP of Florida is going to the site to research the Pirate Pipes.
    Unfortunately the waves are quite large today. I will post the results when I hear back.

    Hope that this gets fixed pretty soon. Jupiter Island is such a beautiful place only to be destroyed by these kind of things.
