Ruin the natural habitat, what’s left of it.

I'm opposed to developer Carlos Beruff's permit which would allow him to destroy the largest string of mangroves in Sarasota Bay.

The developer has been angling to obliterate the mangroves all along. There is no intention to respect nature's systems of protection and filtration nor the environment, as shown clearly by the decimation of land and wildlife habitat in this development and SeaFlower. Floridians must resist and reject this constant pressure and greed of developers.

This is what protects us from Hurricanes and flooding, besides the eco system. I know the view and smell may not be good but what is proposed is detrimental.

Will someone in office please finally have the backbone to say no to developers who unchecked greed threatens our eco systems?

It seems incredible people would prefer a wall to the beauty and usefulness of mangroves.

Carlos Berouff has gotten away with so many ridiculous bending the rules b.s. no way should this be allowed. Our Commissioners are unconscionable and NOT looking out for the best interest of us residents.

Growth is important, but not at the cost of our wetlands. Once they're gone, they're gone forever. Let's protect what makes Manatee County special.

Florida's primarily made up of mangroves and limestone if we keep destroying those we are going to eventually destroy Florida and it will no longer be not only that we're destroying the sea life and the environment around it STOP!!!!

Preserving Mangroves are crucial to the health of the gulf, our bays, and as protection against the worst effects of hurricanes!

Mangroves provide protection and beauty to the shoreline that sea walls cannot. Save the natural environment and help save the shoreline.

Preservation of wetlands should be foremost in all our minds wetlands perform a variety of functions such as controlling erosion, aiding in water filtration, and providing habitat native wildlife.

We have laws for a reason that need to be followed. Our fragile estuaries need to be saved, not destroyed for personal gains.
