Lee County FL aquatic preserves and men

A few of our local aquatic "preserve" are Estero Bay which is located along the back Bay of Fort Myers Beach and a sight to see. Matlacha Pass and the Pine Island Sound around one of my favorite Old Florida island in the area of Lee County which is Pine Island. and the Gasparilla Sound - Charlotte Harbor.

There is a long way to go. I have been a resident of Fort Myers Beach for over 9 years and I was told that anyone could swim in the back bay in the 70's. Granted we have come along way in water treatment plants since the wasteful 70's and 80's but we have still along way to go in the way we use our chemicals and dump so much of our waste along the mouth of the Gulf Of Mexico.

I am staying positive. The only way to go is to be ecologically aware and the rest is common sense.. Does it tick you off when commercial ships power wash their decks into the bays? When non commercial boat owners dump their blip into our waters? When sail boat and power boats hulls are cleaned straight into the aquatic preserves?

We have to be responsible. After that we cannot complain if our waters are not clean and our aquatic habitat is in jeopardy.

Happy Hunting!

Hi Lloyd,
Clean water is essential to our well being and protecting it is our responsibility.

Lloyd, I value your conscientiousness about the environment. The land (including the waters) need your thought-full care and attention. That, in itself, is the beginning of a greater blessing for these places. We, as a whole, have to do things differently, but that begins with each individual. I, too, have a big problem with treating our oceans like a big toilet or something. Thanks for your post and good work!

Mara: Some people will never change their ways, but there is a dramatic rise in awareness. I agree with you.If only individuals did their parts! I am sure you have the same problem in Auburn.I appreciate the comment and am glad you value your environment.I think the Dutch are a good example of ecologically pro-active attitude.We are getting better.

Cynthia:clean water is so crucial. Some are just very hard of hearing.
