Life on Fort Myers Beach


FORT MYERS BEACH LOCAL NEWS STORIES

Waterways and Water Quality
The City of Bonita Springs hosted “Waterways & Water Quality” at its City Hall on Wednesday evening, October 16, before a packed room of roughly 125 people, including approximately a dozen elected officials, including Fort Myers Beach Vice Mayor Ray Murphy and Council member Bruce Butcher and District 3 Lee County Commissioner Raymond Sandelli. Bonita Springs Mayor Peter Simmons moderated the expert panel of Chauncey Goss, Board Chair of the South Florida Water Management District; Dr. Michael Parsons from the Florida Gulf Coast University Water School who is Director of the Vester Marine & Environmental Science Research Field Station and a member of Governor Ron DeSantis’ Blue-Green Algae Task Force; and Sanibel Mayor Kevin Ruane, the President of the Florida League of Mayors. Following the panel discussion, the three took part in a question-and-answer session. FULL ARTICLE & RESOURCE

Laboda on September 11. This action will most likely further delay the start of construction for the Margaritaville FMB Resort at the base of the Matanzas Pass Bridge for an undetermined period of time, until the Florida Second District Court of Appeals can consider the case.
