What a treasure! I’m very interested in the maritime history of my new home. I retired in’18 and moved to Englewood. Even in the lean years of the depression, nobody went hungry in englewood because Lemon Bay was so bountiful. I would have loved to have seen how beautiful this place was 40 years ago. If you have any material on the old sailboats that were used in this area, I’d love to see it. Thanks for sharing this. I know it only has a few hundred views so far, but I can say that each viewer appreciated it.
Great work and kudos to those Archaeologist and Anthropologists for collecting this jewel! Fabulous piece of human history. Thanks to Steve Koski and special thanks to Blue for his contributing to the future kids who will never know this life, how special it was, and how important it is. Let's hope it makes it to the Florida archives... hmmm? He belongs right up there with Zora...
Its a shame what politics has done to the commercial fisherman of florida,They were proud of hard work and honest livings ,now they fish with both hands tied behind their back and allways wondering what new law they know about ,what a shame, big money not science controlling fwc.
Not just politics, the massive influx of people to this area has impacted the environment that made this life possible. I guess when you consider that planning boards and county commissions decide what gets built and how many residential units they will allow, you are right…it is political. I arrived in Florida to see it already in its death throes while the developers are politicians are busy picking the victim’s pockets.

Thanks for the story. We owe a lot to the past and when it is forgotten we lose a great deal.
