The true cost of losing Sarasota Bay's natural infrastructure | Opinion

My family has called Florida home for six generations. When I am out on the water or walking with my family through the wetlands and uplands that remain in Sarasota and Manatee counties, I often find myself recalling how my ancestors saw these same waters and wetlands generations ago. They focused on progress and infrastructure that facilitated development, often at the cost of natural resources. Between 1950 and 1990, Sarasota Bay lost more than 1,800 acres of wetland habitat, approximately 38% of its wetlands, largely due to dredge-and-fill activities associated with coastal development, and we’ve continued to document reductions in natural areas since then. These habitats are the nurseries that support the fish and wildlife that make Sarasota Bay special. They sustain the food web that connects our “coastal corridor” of ecosystems, our fisheries, and the wildlife that draws people to these waters. Habitats need breathing room. Unlike roads, buildings and seawalls, natural shorelines are not static. They are living systems that are shaped by tides, storms and rising water. Their ability to adapt and expand is jeopardized when development surrounds them on one side and rising waters push from the other. Scientists call this process “coastal squeeze.” The result

Clearing the way for Seaboard's future

The City of Venice is clearing the way for the next chapter of one of the community's oldest districts. Demolition recently took place at the City's former Public Works facility on Seaboard Avenue, removing structures from property that sits near the heart of the City's long-term vision for redevelopment of the Seaboard area. Seaboard has historically served as Venice's industrial district, with its growth tied to the railroad and the original John Nolen plan for the community. Today, the City is working to guide its transition into a walkable mixed-use district that can accommodate residential, commercial, retail and continued light-industrial activity. The demolition also increases the flexibility of a significant block of City-controlled property. The former Public Works site comprises approximately 2.5 acres and is adjacent to 3.3 acres of cleared property also owned by the City, bringing the combined area to approximately 5.8 acres.

Florida has reported another case of Vibrio vulnificus, bringing the state's total to 36 cases and six deaths, surpassing last year's total of 33 cases and five deaths. The latest case involved a person between the ages of 80 and 84 in Charlotte County, according to state health data . It is the county's second case this year. At least 14 people have died from Vibrio vulnificus infections in southern coastal states this year. Louisiana had reported 21 cases and seven deaths as of Nov. 10. South Carolina's health department confirmed four cases and one related death, although the total could be higher because the state doesn't require vibriosis deaths to be reported. Dozens of cases have been reported in Alabama , Mississippi , North Carolina , and Texas . Vibrio vulnificus infections are rare, but they can become life-threatening within days and cause excruciating pain as the infection eats through skin and muscle. The bacteria can enter through wounds exposed to contaminated water or through raw or undercooked seafood, particularly shellfish. Florida recorded 82 cases and 19 deaths in 2024, most after large areas of the state were flooded by Hurricanes Helene and Milton. What is Vibrio vulnificus? Vibrio
