Thanks for the offer, however, I just interviewed Peter Clark of Tampa Bay Watch instead. He was very knowledgeable and passionate about the Shell Key land bridge dispute. He basically repeated his theory about the beach replenishment sand being the likely culprit. Thankfully, a study has been commissioned by the county and will be finished in 18 months. I’m not sure the citizens of Tierra Verde will wait that long. Something obviously needs to be done in the interim.

Hi Christopher,

Sorry for the late reply – for some reason I was not getting notifications of post for a few weeks. If you are still working on this project, you can email me from the contact page and I will be happy to talk with you about it. I would also be interested to share your findings on our site. Thanks!

Hi Debi,

Yes, you can get all the shells you can carry. 🙂

I’m a student a UF taking a summer class in Natural Resource Conflict and Collaboration and I’m doing a case study on the Shell Key channel closure.

I was wondering if you would be available for an interview on your views of the current situation. Please contact me.

Thank you.

Awesome! We all appreciate your enthusiasm. Please let me know if you manage to have a chat with the Commish☺

The channel opening seems a viable solution to many problems we are having. One of my neighbors is a county commissioner. Maybe I will stalk him on his evening walk to start up a conversation, and make sure he understands the importance of this first step research being a top priority. He may turn a deaf ear….but then again, maybe not. It can’t hurt to try. Thanks for enlightening me and the motivation to speak to someone about it.

All of the issues you listed are so important for the future of Shell Key. Blue Turtle Society will follow up with Tampa Bay Watch and the Pinellas County Commissioners, as well as with other Shell Key stakeholders, and we encourage everyone to do the same. Having 120 condos as next-door neighbors makes a fully flowing channel even more important.
