I spoke to the Honeymoon Island State Park park manager today, Mr. Peter Krulder. We spoke about surfing being banned at Honeymoon Island State Park. I formulated a series of questions to ask him on camera. Though he didn’t want to be on camera, he didn’t seem to mind when I said I would like to post his answers to the questions.

Florida Red Tide as a State of Emergency
Shocking news that the State of Florida has issued a state of emergency for the annual red tide event happening in the southwestern portion of west Florida. What makes this event so unusual? It sounds inaccurate to suggest that this has been going on for 10 months. It’s doubtful that we had a K. brevis prevalence worth noting before the water temperatures got above 85 degrees. According to one news outlet funding will go to Pinellas in addition to affected counties. Pinellas hasn’t had red tide at all this summer, and we were surfing just three days ago without any red tide. With funding in place what type of uses will it go towards? It’s likely that it will be spent on discretionary expenditures, cleanup, things of that nature, when in reality we should be putting the money into prevention. Check out the red tide state of emergency declaration.
T-Grouns in Pinellas County: Join the conversation!
These groins are really ineffective. I forgot, what side is the sand supposed to be collecting on? (Sarcasm) It’s hard to believe that another set of these is being placed on St Pete Beach as I write this. It’s just so sad that millions of dollars are going into wrecking the beach aesthetic. What ignorant, useless contraption will the county and state decide to spend millions of our money on next?! We should start a petition to get structures on the beach that we actually want there. What would you do with the 10 million dollars?
