Working Waterfront Tour
The Fort Myers Beach area is nationally known for its pristine white
beaches, breathtaking sunsets and beautiful natural attributes, and
historically one commercial enterprise –the shrimping industry –
particularly pink shrimp known far & wide as “Pink Gold!” To
experience this shrimping lifestyle and industry firsthand, attend the
Working Waterfront Tour by the Ostego Bay Foundation Marine Science
Center Wednesdays in season from 9 a.m. to Noon. The 3-hour program begins at the Marine Science Center for check-in,
before we proceed across the street to the Bonita Bill’s Community Room
for a brief orientation with Joanne Semmer and Dan Eaton, the
Foundation’s President and Volunteer Coordinator respectively, where we
watch a short film on shrimping. We then make the short drive in our own
vehicles to the Beach Seafood parking lot on Main Street for the
90-minute working waterfront tour. Following this, we drive back to the
Marine Science Center for an hour-long guided tour, including the Touch
Tank exhibit. FULL STORY
A light agenda for the Local Planning Agency meeting this
week included a discussion about resolutions regarding seawalls and
docks and the approval of LPA enabling language. Last year Town Council
asked each of the Town’s Advisory Committees to review and update the
enabling ordinances that authorize each committee. At the beginning of the meeting, TPI-FMB consultant John Gucciardo
spoke to the LPA, saying that the LPA should see the TPI-FMB application
at their February meeting. The final application is in the hands of
Town staff and they are preparing a staff report on the application.
Community Development Director Jason Green agreed that it would be ready
for the February meeting. Jane Plummer asked if LPA members could have the staff report 2 weeks
prior to the meeting so they had time to review it and Green said he
would arrange that. Green served as LPA staff liaison following the
resignation of Principal Planner Matt Noble late last month. FULL STORY
