    Florida has fallen and its so sad to see. Everything it was, everything people wanted from Florida it can’t even provide anymore and yet people keep on coming, and taking more from it. Wonderful video with some hope inspired

      Unfortunately the law says we cant just close the state to people who buy their homes through the internet now. There are 2 kinds of people who make this exact argument. Those who were born and raised here (reasonable to be upset by this) and those who want to shut the door behind them when they come in because they saw the way the state was years ago. I moved to charlotte harbor 5 years ago and its the best thing I've ever done. I was 19 at the time and had saved since my 18th to move with my father. Shut the family business and got out of dodge. I see the way the state was and it makes me genuinely sad I wasn't alive to see it. All I can do now is to do my best to contribute and leave the harbor better than I found it

    The problem is the Charlotte County commissioners will do nothing about water or the building. I've sat in the meetings, they are presented with historical and real time water data every meeting which they ignore. The head is also a large builder in the area so it's not in his interests to slow any type of building in Charlotte County. There needs to be a shake up at the county level before ANYTHING will happen.

      Truex(Bill) Construction he shouldn't be able to be the head of the county commission, it is a blatant conflict of interest and a violation of the law, unless something has changed but I doubt it. It's just that there isn't anyone to hold them accountable for their actions.

      @@robwaddell3661 100%. I do not believe they give the harbor or our water problems a shred of concern. I've sat in the meetings and watched when presented with real time data, they don't even look up. Something has to change...

    And the dirty little secret that no one is talking about along both coast of Florida, is that ALL of the septic treatment plant operations are close to the coast and if you look even closer, you'll find ditches that run adjacent to their sewer facilities, that somehow receives overflow of their "treated" run-off water, that leads to larger ditches and then canals and to the rivers and/or backwater bays, that leads to large harbors and bays, that leads to the Gulf or the Atlantic. The interior of the state operates the same way, which leads to those same ditches and canal systems, that leads to rivers and lakes and so forth, which then ends up again in the Gulf or the Atlantic. And let's not forget about that affluent water leading to run-offs into the Everglades Eco System, which ends up in the saltwater estuaries of the Everglades, through to Florida Bay and out through the Keys and into the Gulf of Mexico. It's almost as bad as what Big Phosphate is doing. Btw, back in Feb 2024, Manatee County's sewer facility in the City of Bradenton was overwhelmed my the amount the sewage from all the new housing developments from Lakewood Ranch. So at midnight on a full moon at the peak of the outgoing hill tide, Manatee County released 1.2 million gallons of raw sewage into the Manatee River, so that it will dump into the mouth of Tampa Bay and eventually the Gulf of Mexico. The story was released in the Bradenton Herald, by a reliable un-named source, but the county brushes it off that it was unintentional. What they didn't forecast was "what goes out with the tide, comes back in with the tide!" And so the tides for several weeks thereafter didn't hide the truth, as foaming bubbles, clearly shown the track of the sewage movement, back and forth with the tides, like someone put dish soap in a clothes washer, as it sloshed in and out of the river for weeks on end! Also, possibly due to this, the greater Tampa Bay area had one of the worst tarpon shows in decades this year. Fact!

    Can we discuss the jiggers back in the past these outlaws are hook and fish anywhere except for where they need to put pressure on them and fight them quick and turn them loose need to shut the pass down during the season let people fish the hill up into the harbor and outside the pass on the beaches

    Excellent video and message. But the truth is the all mighty dollar will always win. Development is inevitable. We all loved SWFL 25 years ago when the fishery was plentiful. But talking about how it used to be doesn’t help. Let’s focus on then issues we can change, not complain about the ones we can’t change.

    Great video, and I thank you for it. But I have to cry hypocrite. If you moved to south west florida in 1990 to become a guide, than you are the problem! There are some people left that have generations of Florida blood. You need to work together because this generation that is moving in is very powerful and change the Paradise with no remorse.

    • @robwaddell3661
      @robwaddell3661 Před měsícem

      Don't get me started with mangroves they are great and everything but they also need to be trimmed back in a lot of areas and/or removed because they choke natural and unnatural navigable waterways to the point where you can't use those waterways anymore.
