It finally made it here. The kids posted a few pictures showing the red tide fish kill here at Honeymoon Island. I thought I might see a few on the beach after seeing their post with dead fish laying in the seaweed. Here at the beach today they all appear to have been cleaned up.

The storms are so visually stunning that their appearance becomes a hallmark of summers in Florida. It’s important to note that what could be viewed as a disadvantage when comparing seasons should in fact be viewed as one of summers best qualities. These little clusters of energy can be exciting and even create completely cemetrical rainbows with the double rainbow flare. Summer storms make summer what it is, and summer in Florida wouldn’t be the same without them.

I’m just going to start with the recent work I did to reach out to the biology community. Data can be interesting. With training in research and data analysis, I started trying to take a look at data related to the highly commercialized sea turtles and other biologically related activities that are considered Continue reading No One Wants Me Here
