I just want to know if we can get our beach umbrella logo back!

This bacteria has a high survival rate in beach sand! Nutrients in the sand can make a perfect breeding ground! Our beaches have been polluted with dispersed oil, that has attached to sand grains, been moved by sea and wind up the beach and was deposited in a thick sedimentary layer below the...

actually, that is the best reason to have non party local elections. The election is decided in the primary, and there is always a "D" (real or not) on the ballet to keep us dems from voting! It is the reason we have no voice or representatives in the county.

So isn't the county government there to protect us.The powers have already decided that this is critically eroded beach. It does not take a scientist to see the damage that is being done. Many have called the county, but they do nothing and watch our beach being washed away! Shouldn't THEY...

Back to the issue at the beach today. I was running in the surf as a truck approached. I didn't move so he was forced out of the surf, and his look said he did not approve of me being there. Many of the people who beach walk at blue mountain are older people. They cannot negotiate the wheel...

I have been watching them race in the surf on stormy days. they have driven over every inch of beach from grayton to the retreat. You can not sit on the beach without being in DEEP wheel tracks. The erosion they have caused far exceeds the amount of sand they are moving! Will they bring sand in...

Small people often start their discussion by insulting others views. It says much about them.

I think Misty has it right. The sudden push for us to buy a bridge that we don't need is related to the need to feed a casino. No bridge, no casino!

I would take tax over toll, but there is a third option. Do we need a new bridge? I don't think so. We only need a new bridge for the development that has not happened yet. Why should we finance the ruin of our neighborhoods. If sandestin needs a bridge to their casino, let them pay for it. If...

awesome news!

There isn't much that will drag me far from the beach, But, disc golf in freeport? Hey, I am there!

Hey I,m from Jersey, jersey shore in fact. I live in blue mtn. ain't goin back. nuf said.

Merry Christmas Andy, and Seagrovegirl. I am about to ride my bike down the desserted 30a on a dawn patrol to check the surf. Seagrovegirl, if you happen across me in the street, please don't hit me with your armored car!!! j

You miss my point. I ride the path, but before Christmas and hurricanes, the traffic dies in the morning and the road belongs to the self propelled! I ain't a weenie biker, and I don't block your speeding, but you should really get a smaller car, and help save the planet, or become self...

Hey; I love before both Christmas and hurricanes, when I can ride my bike on the center line without traffic ! HA!

Well I fear rocky must have paid with his life for trespassing too close to the inn at blue mountain! The trap is now emty, but reset. So one could assume that the evil property manager has terminated rocky, after first starving and tormenting him! I guess their condo's are now safe!

The trap is from the Inn. It is a coon that was under the bridge in the dark and cold. It had dug and clawed mud all around the trap attempting to free inself. The people live in condo's. If they could get away with it, you would see traps on the beach with people from the brick yard in them...

This may be legal, but is it right? this little coon has been in a trap under the bridge at the blue lupine inn at the end of redfish circle, for at least two days! It is not the first coon to be abused before death at this location. Should living creatures be treated in this manner?

Beachsi02; your right. Surfrider will be present in support of our brief. That is a typo on my part in the thread title. It should read present! Duh!

Washington, DC (December 1, 2009) - On December 2, 2009, the United States Supreme Court will hear the case of Florida Department of Environmental Protection v. Stop the Beach Renourishment to decide whether a private property owner has the right to exclude the public from access across the...

Another article; Pinellas lawmakers lash out against offshore drilling

I wouldn't be to sure about open spaces always being here. After the R's get done selling the gulf to texas oil men, they will probably want to sell our forests to wealthy "friends" for development! Nah, your right, they wouldn't do that! Would they?

Oil spills poison the Red Sea Egyptian tourism commercials present the Red Sea as an untouched paradise where ?the sun shines 365 days a year? and the water is full of exuberant marine life. But the reality is that the beaches and marine life are being destroyed as a result of offshore oil...

Pensacola News Journal pnj.com November 3, 2009 Editorial: Ten weeks, and counting There was more bad news for proponents of offshore drilling near the Florida coast this weekend. We can only hope it isn't the kind of bad news Gulf Coast residents will face someday. The bad news: The...

Here is another example of an energy company lying to the people, destroying their dream home and lifestyle, and then claiming they are not responsible! This one is on land, in Colorado!! Just a FYI. Methane Gas in Drinking Water - KRDO.com Colorado Springs and Pueblo News, Weather and Sports

What is "clean enough"? compromise on our environment!!!

Last week at the committee meeting in tally, the "energy people" admitted that drilling will NOT reduce gas prices at all! So you can leave the soaring gas prices arguement out of this. Senator Gaetz, using typical fear tactic, cites the need to be independent of mideast oil! Ain't gonna happen...

I was talking to a friend today who moved to santa barbara. He told me that they call the oil derricks the casinos, because they are all lit up at night. He also told me that when you have an on shore breeze.... you smell them!!!! If they have their way, forget emerald coast, just say...

Protecting only the military mission is very different than protecting the ocean! So is everyone OK with drilling as long as it's in someone else's part of the gulf? Don't let em off the hook. We lose if we get drilling anywhere ! They don't need to do it. It is pure greed!

Andy; They will not tell you that a bill is coming because they DO NOT want you to Know!!!! This is an insidious campaign to ignore the wishes of the people by the legislature! It will only be by an overwelming uprising of the people that may stop it. Your and my representatives are not...

And Senator Gaetz voted against a beach sign bill, wrongly claiming that beachfront properties often extend 150 feet into the gulf!

Those who vote to defile our ocean and beaches should be held accountable for their actions. Patronis voted for drilling and I believe Marti Coley did also. Mr Patronis also voted against a beach access bill. If they fail to represent the people that live at the beach........ vote em out!!!!!!!

the Ocean Conservancy Beach cleanup was a success in Walton county. Our chapter managed the cleanup for the TDC, at 6 sites. We had 120 people turn out, and collect over 600 pounds of trash !!!!!! I had the pleasure of giving away a gift card for van shoes to a 13 year old kid named Jimmy, who...

Consider a cruise line's environmental impact before you book your next getaway. Many cruise lines offer ideal family getaways with their all-inclusive offers and kid-centric activities. However, with this convenience also comes a large tax on our environment. Ships that carry up to 7,000...

Blue Mountain was also a success. We had some Walton high school people, two Young beauty queens with crowns and sashes, and a bunch of nice caring people, including the usual blue mtn beach people. If I didn't have oldtimers, I might have remembered that I had a camera in the car, But we had a...

Have you noticed the tan sand washing ashore at present? It has not been in the surf zone long, and is course and abrasive to barefoot runners. You can see it all along the beach and the line is clearly distinguishable. As the sand in this area migrates from east to west, my guess is that it is...

If the coorporations can convince the gullible that its good for "business", then they will make our coastal water look like this article from surfrider soup. Of course they will lie as they always do, and say there are safe guards against that happening! Yea right!!! AUSTRALIAN OIL...

There should be an award presented to the lifeguard! Outstanding job! It ain't no pool out there!

Today a small group of Surfrider Foundation members worked on cleaning up the beach east of the Whale's tail along the public parking section. This beach is without question the most abused beach in Walton county! You can't even see the beachfront as it is totally blocked by chair setups! Cans...
