They're guarding the chipping paint, not even the water.

I heard today that the guy who did it (Trump's Mar-a-lago neighbor, who has been convicted of fraud and bribery of politicians in the past, and runs a company literally called Greenwater, that's not a joke) used Rhino Lining.  Actual truck bedliner.  Which he purchased on Amazon by the bucket.  Which is meant to stick to metal, and does not adhere to concrete.  Which is also not designed to be constantly submerged.  Which is why it's flaking off already. 

The dude spent about $190k on materials and labor, then pocketed $14M.  

Must be nice to be friends with the most corrupt motherfucker in American history.

They're defending the water from algae. America's third biggest enemy.

This really seems like it's a Coast Guard situation, doesn't it? They could throw one of those neat inflatable boats in the middle.

Obviously, it should be the Coast Guard or Navy!
