Swamp Cabbage And Fried Gator Bites Keep Drawing Road-Trippers To This Old Florida Fish Camp

Fritters made from the heart of a palm tree were never on my Florida bucket list, and then one bite changed my mind. What I expected to be a quick stop in a quiet river town turned into a whole weekend of parade floats, crispy gator tail, and a crowd cheering for racing armadillos.

Collier Mosquito Control must phase out neurotoxins | Opinion

Hurricane Idalia blew large flocks of American flamingos ( Phoenicopterus ruber ) back into Florida in late August 2023. Yet the birds have failed to recolonize in Collier County’s salt marshes and brackish estuaries — thriving nowhere locally except at the Naples Zoo. Although boat traffic flushes foraging flocks, altered freshwater sheetflow and neurotoxic pesticides deplete their invertebrate food supply. These birds rely on filter-feeding in mudflats to consume larvae, amphipods, and shrimp. Naled causes acute aquatic mortality at parts-per-billion levels, while synthetic pyrethroids deployed by the Collier Mosquito Control District (CMCD) adhere to estuarine sediment and destroy crustacean prey at parts-per-trillion levels — whereas Bti offers a one-million-fold safer alternative. First covering a six-square-mile territory in 1950 and adopting Naled during the 1960s, CMCD has expanded its spray area to 765 square miles over the last 20 years and added six turbine aircraft. The vast majority of coastal aerial treatments target salt-marsh nuisance mosquitoes ( Aedes taeniorhynchus ). Conversely, primary human disease vectors such as Culex and Aedes aegypti reproduce mainly in residential containers and inland freshwater habitats. Once Jay Kohlhagen (nonpartisan, CCMCD-3) and I take our seats on the CMCD Board in 2027, we will work to build

SW Florida home to some of the best tacos in US. Here's where

Tuesdays have always been a big deal at Maria’s Restaurant on Old 41 Road in Bonita Springs . “We (would) do 700 (tacos) an hour, 3,500 on Taco Tuesday,” said Jose Romero, who opened the aptly named Mexican restaurant with his wife, Maria, in 1992. The longtime neighborhood staple consists of the main restaurant, plus a small, one-room space right next door. That stand, with a separate entrance to the left of the restaurant, used to be Taco Tuesday territory. But crowds and demand grew. “It got bigger and bigger and bigger,” Maria said. “We had to open the main (restaurant) for it.” Even though the restaurant is big — the bar and bar area take up half of it, while the main dining room and a couple of smaller rooms are on the other side — you’re still likely to find a line out the door on most Tuesdays. Why Maria's tacos are oh-so-good The tacos are so good, in fact, that USA TODAY-Florida Network's food journalists have named them some of the best in Florida. “Tacos have always been our best-seller,” Maria said. “Al pastor is No. 1. Always.” Carnitas, chorizo, asada (for $1 more), pollo and veggie
