In this Oct. 20, 2016 photo, dead oyster shells are seen in the Indian River Lagoon, Fla. Once plentiful oysters have died off in the lagoon due to increased boat traffic as the region's population has swelled faster than anywhere else in the state. Last year, baby oysters died off en masse for the first time, a victim of increasing brown algae in these once pristine waters. An AP analysis of water testing data found that phosphorus pollution from farms and urban development, which the algae feed on, increased by 75-percent in the lagoon from 2000-2016.
