In recent years we have been reminded numerous times about the destructive force of Mother Nature. It is insane to consider removing one of the few remaining natural barriers that protect us. It is time to think about what is best for all of the area's residents, not just a select few.

WE as the stewards of our environment must stop the rape and pillage of the developers.

Development is ruining the environment here! Dollars should not outway science.

The mangroves are essential. Kill them here, what is next?

Please protect the existing wetlands and mangroves and deny any and all efforts to build a wall or anything that will harm this environment.

We need to increase not decrease wetland buffers

Because the mangroves are our only defense against storms and the surge!

Many people worked hard to protect the last of our waterfront wetlands As a resident for 26 years I've seen what the massive development of Manatee county has done- devastate bird populations, erode flood control and estuaries & bring gridlock to roads. We used to see dolphins and manatee but the continued shoreline development has eroded the habitats needed for sealife to survive or thrive. Don't allow what was so hard fought to protect be destroyed by big money.

Know the difference between a gabion wall and a seawall. Protect us from sneaky, greedy developers.

The project’s full cumulative impacts have not been adequately reviewed. If permitted as requested, this development could set a dangerous precedent for replacing natural wetland buffers with walls and fill. A development of this size should not proceed while significant questions remain about sea-level rise, mangrove migration and adaptation, stormwater runoff, flooding, wildlife habitat, water quality, and archaeological resources. These are not minor details. They impact entire communities.

We live near the proposed development and fear further destruction of mangroves and wetlands buffer that protect our homes. Also, further development of another 2500 homes will further stress our already strained infrastructure, resources, traffic congestion, etc.

Manatee County needs to protect the last bit of undeveloped shoreline along Sarasota Bay. We need wetland buffers and this project would be detrimental to the sensitive ecosystem.
