Florida’s coastal environment is especially vulnerable to nonpoint source pollution for two reasons. One, the extent of the karst nature of the platform allows great interaction between ground and surface waters. Second, the low gradient of the land results in high water tables. Both of these factors result in poor attenuation of contaminants in the subsurface, and the release of nutrients and pathogens to surface waters.
