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

Sandra Brut-Christensen

The destruction of nature for greed is disgraceful at every level. When is enough enough??

Tina Ivy

Protect our beautiful state of Florida against greedy developers

SOPHIA RYAN

Beruff has gotten away with ruining too much of the Sarasota Bay waterways already. The local commissioners and all the folks that have allowed him to do so are as much to blame as his destruction of the county's land and waters. Show them we mean what we say by voting them out this election. They are as much of the problem as the developers!

Deirdre M Van Collie

The destruction of wetlands by developers along coastal Florida is irreversible. The ecological impact on plant and animal biodiversity is incalculable. Once disrupted, it cannot be reclaimed. It needs to be halted. Over development is ruining the beautiful coast that drew so many of us to settle here and the visitors who marvel at the lovely area.

Robert Beck

This craziness must be stopped!

Protecting the environment must be of higher importance than lining pockets.

Nancy Pasquale

STOP BERUFF! he is destroying our pristine wetlands! Enogh is enough!

Pamela Woodson

Enough is enough. The degradation of the shoreline in Florida puts all ecosystems at risk. It seemingly never ends. Constant man made construction causing constant wildlife destruction. Shameful.

I am a friend of the Lorax, and I speak for the trees, animals, and those who feel as I do.

Allan Gilbert

The wetlands are a buffer against storm surge and hundreds of millions of dollars in property damage, and that's not to mention all of the varieties of creatures that use that as their habitat.

We need to protect our wetlands.

Supporter

Environmental destruction of our fragile environment must be stopped . Nature and Wildlife is such an important part of our world. We must keep some balance at least. When is enough enough?

Patricia Kittredge

I have seen land in Bradenton in the last 8 years change from cow pastures to multi level building. Seen flooding where the cow pastures protected the land from flooding. When will the commission Who are responsible for making zoning changes and allowing building on wetlands.

Linda Graumann

I'm by no means a "tree-hugger," but anyone who lives in Florida has to realize that wetlands are our first line of defense when storms hit our coastline. Allowing wetlands to be compromised for monetary gain when there are plenty of inland areas to develop is unconscionable! PLEASE, protect our communities by protecting our wetlands!!

Marilyn K Feinberg

Do not wish to have the integrity and beauty of this environment we live in comprimised any further when it isn't necessary.

Chris Lynch

This area needs to be protected.

William Heine

What’s left of wetlands and all other natural areas needs to be preserved and protected. A limit must be set now and enforced, or soon nothing will be left. The destruction is real and has real negative consequences.

Christine Shaffer

I've lived in Bradenton for more than 25 years and care about our wetlands and the wildlife that lives there. Beruff is despicable and only cares about his money.

John Huffman

It's time the voters control Manatee County not the developers
