World’s First Smart Marina
New Gulf Star Marina
Gulf Star Marina, across the Matanzas Pass Bridge from Fort Myers
Beach, has served the area’s boating needs for decades. As its new
65-foot-high, almost 28,000-square-foot building nears completion,
however, its cutting edge technology will not only be advantageous to
local boaters, with high-tech customer amenities, it will raise the bar
for the entire marina industry! Gulf Star Marina President Todd Carroll explained that his family
have been part-owners of the marina since 1991 and the sole ones for
roughly the past dozen years. “Prior to buying the old metal boat barn, I
know it was here since the early 1970s and perhaps as far back as the
1950s, when it was a fishhouse. We knew, however, for at least the last
15 years that the original structure was well past its prime and needed
replacing, so we tore that down around 18 months ago to start the new
state-of-the-art marina.” Continue reading at the Island Sand Paper.
Record Breaking Turtle Nesting Season
Fort Myers Beach broke its sea turtle nesting seasonal record on
Sunday, July 14, when Turtle Time, Inc., documented Estero Island’s 100th nest, breaking its previous mark of 99 from 2017! This achievement is a wonderful way to celebrate the 30th
anniversary of Turtle Time, a non-profit established in 1989 by Eve
Haverfield to benefit nesting marine turtles on Big Hickory Island as
well as Bonita, Bunche, and Fort Myers Beaches. “And we are not done yet,” enthused Eve! “We are now up to 110 nests
on Fort Myers Beach, with 20 of those having already hatched. Our
success is not limited to Fort Myers Beach, however, as we also
shattered the previous Bonita Beach mark of 207 nests from 2017, with
233 so far. When you add the 16 from Big Hickory Island and one from
Bunche Beach, our total of 360 easily outpaces the 2017 former record of
327!” Continue reading at the Island Sand Paper.
