Yes, a woman was killed by a gator just this past monday in SC. Sadly it is often someone who has walked too close to the water's edge with a dog. The gator goes after the dog and the human tries to save the dog losing their own life in the act.
They are going to add Triploid Grass Carp to the 24 ponds in our neighborhood to eat the algae. To add the carp we need to get a permit from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission. I guess that is similar to what OR and WA are doing.
