We need wetlands protection. Deny Carlos Beruff’s application to reduce/eliminate them!

Compromising the eco system will have long term effects and interrupt the normal migration of many birds and animals, causing many to die. We must strike a balance for future generations. The health of our planet is much more important than any sum of money. I implore you to do the right thing and to think about what mess this will leave for your children and beyond.

Opposed to Manatee County commissioners and their developer Masters long standing pattern of sacrificing Florida’s environment for their profits.

Carlos Beruff has taken full advantage of county commissioners he helped to get elected. During Aqua by the Bay construction his team "ACCIDENTLY" removed wetland acreage. The Manatee County Commissioners fined Medallion Home (Beruff) only $8,000!! Do not approve this project as all wetlands and mangroves are needed to reduce soil erosion and buffer against hurricanes and flooding.
Please Please do not approve this project as it does not benefit the county and only benefits one person.
Thank you

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.

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.

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.
