A similar discussion of the same topic incited animosity on another site, stripers online, several months ago. It was removed by the owner/administrator in a couple pages.
Please members, this is an important message brought to attention in the fist few posts of the thread.
It is and has been entirely political for almost a couple hundred years in Florida and from beyond. The natural systems have been compromised and manipulated.
I have an old friend, well educated and a student of Florida history, truly a lifetime Cracker. He doesn't fish but regularly drinks with the captains, (haha too much, that's how he earned his retirement from public works, but that's another unfortunate story). It is always interesting to listen to his opinion of the waters in this area because he studies them every day. There are problems that may never be repaired, and watching the nasty fluid dump at the top of Hobe Sound is depressing. But this can be fixed only if the public's will is expressed. I hear that the new Governor shows positive intent. Pick up your phones and call, please!
Maybe I will find a friend with a nice set that will let me watch the PBS show at her house. Or maybe read the book again so I don't have to share the wine?
