There’s an important link between the quality of Florida’s environment and the health of its economy that’s sometimes hard to see. That’s according to economic analyst Hank Fishkind.

He says we’ve recently witnessed some vivid examples of this link, with massive algae blooms and fish kills.

90.7's Nicole Darden Creston asked Fishkind if he thinks Florida has reached a tipping point on this issue.

Nicole came to Central Florida to attend Rollins College and started working for Orlando’s ABC News Radio affiliate shortly after graduation. She joined Central Florida Public Media in 2010. As a field reporter, news anchor and radio show host in the City Beautiful, she has covered everything from local arts to national elections, from extraordinary hurricanes to historic space flights, from the people and procedures of Florida’s justice system to the changing face of the state’s economy.
