The dead pelican at 2:22 is typical of mass die-offs caused by toxins from algae blooms. These blooms can be caused by eutrophication, excessive nutrient buildup, of the type that is occurring in the lagoon due to poor water circulation. Although that pelican was probably not killed by a bloom in the lagoon itself, it is dishonest to use it as an emotional tactic to work against a project that would help remedy similar problems.
TL;DR Bulldozers didn't kill that pelican, toxic algae did.
Restore the Lagoon with out destroying it. Lady Bret says NO to bulldozers and YES to a gentler alternative that gives respect for the beautiful, important wildlife.
wow...this is so terrible...by bulldozing this it will end up saving animals in the future...the lagoon is full of trash, the water is polluted, and the fish that live in it are dying because of it...you people need to get your facts straight...if you want anyone to believe you give us water quality measurements and such...if park rangers are supporting this then there is no way you could possible be right
I respect your concern and efforst, but this video did not propose your plan. For that reason I cannot support your plan, because you have not supported you plan of action. What is your exact solution?
From time to time, images come together magically, to tell an important story. It is as if some other forces are guiding all the elements to come together and dance a dance symbiotically in rythme with the camera's movement and frame. This is one of those special and important stories that we all need to know about. This place needs to be restored to it's natural state and we need to acquire the land and restore the lower floodplain to a functioning wetland.

If only this project had some public meetings and an Environmental Impact Report.

Hi, Stephanie, check out the follow up video which presents a gentler, alternate plan for restoring the Malibu Lagoon. Thanks for your interest!
