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

Barbara McCrea

We need to keep the natural ecosystem of our Florida coastlines in order to protect them from sea wave erosion. The proposed permit destroys “nature’s” protection.

Gay Rosnett

County infrastructure can’t handle more development, and we are quickly destroying what little bit of wetlands are left. Stop the greed

Robin Meiers

I want to protect our natural resources and wildlife habitats.

We need to protect our wetlands from ridiculous developers who only care about their pockets!

Thomas Chipain

Wetlands help against hurricanes and storm surge!

Brooke Elias

Corrupt politicians, developers and cronyism are plentiful everywhere, including coastal Florida counties. But our beaches and habitats - brimming with fish and birds, sand and waves - become more rare, more developed and more polluted every year. Don't let this particular developer - who has wielded his influence in destroying and developing natural beaches along both the east and west coast of Florida - have his way.

We need to protect and keep our wetlands and stop these developers from destroying our environment.

Enough Mr Beruff Wetlands belong to us all and the future health and safety of our coastline environment. Coastline development can happen without the destruction of wetlands. ACofE please protect the vulnerable from short term monetary interest.

Preserving Manatee County's ecosystem is more important than providing waterfront homes. Beruff has mowed down pristine land to build crackerjack homes, clog our roads with more people and cars. He buys our commissioners who allow him to get away with paying rediculously minimal impact fees that taxpayers are left to pay. Commissioners vote to steal homes via eminent domain for the sake of over development. Beruff keeps taking more. It has to stop.

One of the last estuaries in the bay .

We need to stop the aggressive efforts to destroy our natural areas and do a better job of controlling ongoing extreme development of our area.

Randall Miller

Protect our water, our shoreline, our animals, and our way of life!

Barb Mabie

I am tired of the destruction of our towns, wetlands, habitats, our way of life! These developers are about the almighty buck no matter what they destroy!

Corazon Sanders

Protect Sarasota Bay!

Christine Gustaw

We need to protect what little land we have left. When you destruct our land, you destruct our ecosystem.

Mark Crawford

Environmental protection is more important than ever with all the new people moving to Florida with the impacts on all levels. Poor fishing, discolored water, unbelievable traffic, raw sewage releases, limiting access to the waterways. Privatizing what was once public. Please $TOP selling out the people of this state!

Steve Lancaster

Continued habit destruction to make a millionaire richer is unconscionable. They have already decimated the mangroves before by illigal trimming.

Erin Purdy

Please preserve our wetlands! They keep our bay and gulf waters filtered and help our ecosystem survive. We have enough stress on all of our natural habitat without this. Please stop, it benefits us ALL to stop.

This coastline should be protected above all else.

Kelly Franklin

Carlos Beruff’s greed is boundless. Our wetlands are not. Protect them as required by years of science and local law.
