From the sites I read today. Three dead dolphins in Naples this morning. Two on the beach and one in at the Cocohatchee boat ramp. Two more dolphins found dead and one manatee in Estero Bay. This is unacceptable.
Sadly, not sure how much time will be spent at the beach (if any due to this) and I'll be there for a few weeks. Might have to travel. Family and friends are down there and the main purpose is to spend time with my mother. There are some good hiking areas inland.

While I did not vote on the lease, I assure you that it can be terminated as soon as the property is needed for the reservoir. The statute requires that the land remain in agricultural production until it’s ready for construction.
I’m strongly in favor of the reservoir and would not do anything to delay it or make it more expensive.
Yes, SITLA lands are a big problem. And the Lyman purchases are very suspicious.
Phillip Lyman, who was a San Juan County Commissioner and led that ATV ride through Recapture Canyon Indian ruins, saw the writing on the wall.
Commissioners tried to screw the Native Americans again and a judge fixed their gerrymandered mess and lo and behold, the Navajos now have two seats on the San Juan County Commission, including Mr. Lyman's. So he ran for legislature to fill the seat of retiring idiot Mike Noel from Kanab, the rabid anti-environmentalist who blamed badgers for digging up artifacts at sites.
SITLA is mandated to make as much money for the state (education) as possible. No environmental consideration at all.
And when they sell their lands, the new owners get a right-of-way to them, even it that goes through wilderness. And a new road would preclude it from being declared wilderness.
Back from Florida and I didn't spend as much time on the beach as usual due to red tide. In Naples, the beach was fairly crowded and I saw a few young children in the water which was very surprising. There was a sign clearly marked red tide present. Also, went to this beach in Bonita that is usually crowded and parking can be an issue. The beach was dead, it was cold, but still.
Vanderbilt Beach in Naples, FL (12/17/18). I'll be going back soon.
