The Short Story of What's Killing Florida

By Kelly S. West, Wanda S. Hayes Klopf and Molly S. Biscan

This book is about the demise of Florida which in turn pollutes the rest of the world. It is an honest eye-opening story of how quickly humans are destroying what nature provides right here in America, on a small peninsula, surrounded by water. If we use our resources properly and pay the true price for its use, we will prosper, not destroy. Which path will humanity take?
Everyone should read this story if they want to open their eyes to the reality of the world. Then visit the sites and do research to verify the truths. Some people cannot face the truth, they have families to raise, property to support. But to those who are or wish to be truly free, I say “face the truth and act to protect nature”. Wanda S. Hayes Klopf

Biography

Kelly S. West draws from her life experiences of living in Southwest Florida during the 2018 Florida Water Crisis. Kelly, a graduate of The University of Alabama, studied Criminal Justice, English, and Biology, earning a triple major. Her incessant curiosity about plant and animal life allowed her to be part of an on-site study of the deterioration of the coral reefs in the early 1990s through Northern Virginia Community College (NOVA), off the Florida Keys. Kelly never dreamed she would witness and write about the carnage caused by the deterioration of the water quality in Southwest Florida in her later years.

Tides of Time

By: Kelly S. West

Given the events currently unfolding in the Southwest Florida man-made ecological disaster, I share my story not to scare, but rather to bring more awareness through educating residents, communities, neighborhoods, vacationers, states, and our country to the horrific possibilities that harmful and deadly bacteria lurks in the water in and around Florida.

I arrived in Bonita Beach, Florida, with my Goldendoodle, Einstein, in early 2014 from Fort Worth, Texas. I relocated on the heels of a sudden, painful, and overdue divorce from a cheating alcoholic.
