Protect Sarasota Bay: Deny Beruff’s No Buffer Wetland Permit

Robin Cornish-Paniagua

This project will destroy our ecosystem and endanger existing homes of flooding.

Chris Hiser

We can’t keep doing the same thing over and over with no repercussions. The reason we all live here is for the natural beauty, if we keep letting people do this to our environment let alone our wetlands, we will have destroyed the reason to live here.

Someone needs to stand up for the environment. If not me- then who? If not now- then when?

Kevin Wessel

I strongly disagree with what he is purposing. We should leave what’s left of our shorelines untouched.

Fred Crider

Water is the lifeblood of Florida plain and simple

Without a buffer, as the sea level continues to rise, the mangroves have nowhere to go and will not be able to adapt. The result squeezes out the over-2-mile stretch of mangroves until they die off. It will not happen with a 50-foot buffer, the minimum

Timothy Nolan

Very tired of seeing beautiful coastline disappear

Larry Beggs

We must protect what lil environment we have left

Kim Mannweiler

We need to protect our natural coastline and the Cortez Kitchen corridor from this endless greed!

Donna Feiola

Practices like this need to be stopped before we ruin our coastline. Don’t allow this to happen.

Aimee Schayer

Our environment is being destroyed by developers like Beruff. He has no respect for the environment whatsoever.

Steve Han

I believe in the importance of preserving our wetlands and native Florida wild places. Reducing preservation levels only serves the developers, not the people or wildlife who are already here. These areas are important in protecting our homes and coastlines. Find areas less fragile to develop!

Robert Youngblood

Mangroves are our frontline of defense against storm surge. Destroying or endangering them endangers us all. Don't not support this!
