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

Lisa Modrick

Protect Sarasota Bay, and our natural ecology, plants, fish and animals.

Pauline Riendeau

Wetlands are an important environmental necessity.

Carolyn Sheets

Having lived in Florida for 25 years, including the Florida Keys, I observed firsthand the beauty and importance of the mangrove buffers.

This area is a very important estuary and must be protected. The so- called gabion wall is a ridiculous proposal and environmentally toxic.

Paula Clark

This blatant disregard of our wetlands protections must stop before there is no undegraded ecosystem in Florida.

Karen Frederick

Save our shoreline,

Supporter

Taking care of our environment on land and in water is important to me. We need to stop the destruction of Florida.

William Vinhage

Our environment has been under siege from over-development for long enough.

Suzanne Dittrich

We must protect our Wetlands and say NO to more development

Marcia LeWand

The environment sustains life, concrete does not.

Nancy Ambrose

YOU MUST DENY this permit --- it is vital to our community and for future generations.

Susan Greenwell

Wetlands are natural and need to be protected from man-made structures. Thank you.

Donald Meilner

When Beruff first applied for the permit to develop the site, he was not forthcoming with truths about his plans. His renderings were misleading and amateurish. At that time his plan was to build a marina with access to Sarasota Bay via a ditch he wanted to dredge through sensitive waters. I believe he cares less about our environment, and much more about his income.

Mark Simpson

Science is clear on the need of wetlands for the health of our invaluable water resources. Destroying wetlands for short term commercial gain disregards all the evidence of the harm that will occur over the long term to Sarsdota Bay.

Jules Peirce

The insanity of selling out our planet and her protected & precious resources should not be up for sale to the highest bidder. If they will approve the sale of land and animals, they will also approve the sale of you & your wellbeing to the highest bidder while they remain protected. Please deny the application.

Jonna Koellhoffer

Not to mention the seawall (I don't care what he calls it that's what it is) would potentially redirect surge in a storm, putting everything north and south of it in danger of flooding. Bayshore Gardens, Trailer Estates, IMG, and Cortez Village to name a few.

Donna Mathias

We need to protect our wetlands. This shouldn’t even be a question. Look at all of the flooding that has taken place. Wetlands serve a purpose and should not be ignored.

Supporter

Save the mangroves and stop letting developers destroy our wetlands. We need these estuaries our wild life needs these estuaries. SAVE THE KITCHEN FROM DESTRUCTION!!!!

Shawn Layne

Please don’t allow yet another blow to our community and environment to be “jammed” through our system. These environmental mistakes will negatively impact generations to come.

Richard J Correnti

The GREED has got to stop!! And the extent of our natural resources is limited. They must be protected forever...not be bought!!
