NEWS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 2019 CONTACTS: Francesca Donlan, Miriam Dotson, 239-338-3500 Island-hopping along The Beaches of Fort Myers & Sanibel Find your island by land or water! LEE COUNTY, Fla. -- Most of us dream about it. A tropical vacation. Island-hopping from one exotic, off-the-grid island to another. Not a care in the world. Leaving all of your worries (and maybe even your phone) at home. If this is what you would like to turn into reality, pack up your T-shirts and flip flops and head to The Beaches of Fort Myers & Sanibel on the Gulf of Mexico. Here, you can take the time to unplug. Find your island in this Southwest Florida paradise by land or by water. In Jimmy Buffett style, you may spend days doing absolutely nothing or engaging in serious exploring of these award-winning islands. The Florida of days long past, with unspoiled white sand beaches, exotic wildlife and lush subtropical foliage, can still be found here and it is the perfect oasis where visitors can “get away from it all” and yet still be close to all of the modern amenities. Many of the area’s 100 coastal islands are uninhabited mangrove clusters, while others take visitors' breath away with their beautiful beaches. From shelling to kayaking to beautiful sunsets, visitors come to this destination and find their island creating wonderful vacation memories. Save the date! The sixth annual Island Hopper Songwriter Fest returns Sept. 20-29, 2019. The popular event brings music back to the beach with new artists and new events.

Hurricane Charley Preliminary Storm Survey II
Hurricane Charley Preliminary Storm Survey II Disclaimer: Hurricane Charley track and intensity information from our surveys are preliminary. Final official intensity and track will be determined by the National Hurricane Center. By Mark Linhares NWS Senior Meteorologist Birmingham, Alabama National Weather Service Meteorologists surveyed the extensive damage caused by Hurricane Charley. The hurricane affected a large part of Southwest and West Central Florida. The most significant damage occurred in Lee, Charlotte, DeSoto, Hardee, and Polk counties. The hurricane affected parts of Sarasota and Highlands counties to a lesser degree. Preliminary damage was estimated in the tens of billions of dollars. The hurricane damage path was similar to the path taken by Hurricane Donna on September 11, 1960. A strong feeder band associated with Hurricane Charley moved across West Central and Southwest Florida during the early afternoon hours of 13 August 2004. This band produced at least 5 weak tornadoes. Unfortunately, most of these tornadoes occurred in the same areas that sustained maximum damage from the hurricane's eyewall region. Therefore, the survey team was unable to distinguish individual paths and will rely on the time of the damage reports at this time. Future evaluation may make these paths more defined. Hurricane Charley made landfall at 345 PM EDT at Cayo Costa, just north of the barrier island of Captiva in Lee County. Hurricane Charley was a Category 4 hurricane with winds around 140 miles an hour at landfall. The survey team found the most intense damage was coincident with the eyewall region. The eyewall region moved across northern Captiva, Pine Island, and Gasparilla Island, then continued into Punta Gorda, Port Charlotte, and Cleveland.

BOCA GRANDE: THE TOWN THE RAILROAD BUILT by Jeanne P. Reidy Captain Carey Johnson, retired bar pilot, sadly shakes his head as he ponders the demise of the phosphate shipping operations at Boca Grande, Florida. It bothers him that after seventy years of being one of Florida's major deep water ports, Boca Grande should be abandoned. Captain Johnson is part of the family of pioneering seamen who opened the port and saw it develop after phosphate was discovered and mined near Bartow in 1885. A need emerged for better shipping methods than that of floating barges down the Peace River to Punta Gorda and Charlotte Harbor. This, in turn, led to the building of the railroad and the establishment of the quaint and unique town of Boca Grande on Gasparilla Island.

The Changing Face of Commercial Fishing in Charlotte Harbor: Triumph of Ice Over Salt Theodore B
The Changing Face of Commercial Fishing In Charlotte Harbor: Triumph of Ice over Salt Theodore B. VanItallie Harbor Habitat “Fishermen go where the fish are” and, by all accounts, the fish populations of Charlotte Harbor in the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries were extraordinarily abundant. One of Florida's principal estuaries, the harbor in its pristine state must have provided an ideal habitat for many species of fish. The photic zone—a relatively thin layer of water that can be penetrated by light—is an ocean's primary production area. In the photic zone, growth rate depends on the intensity of light and the supply of available nutrients. When its waters are sufficiently clear and placid, Charlotte Harbor is shallow enough to permit transmission of abundant light to the phytoplankton (minute plant life) and to the sea grasses that provide a habitat favorable to fish. Three major rivers, the Myakka, Peace, and Caloosahatchee, flow into the estuarine system, delivering the nutrients needed to replace those used up by the harbor's teeming marine life. These freshwater streams also provide the zones of reduced salinity that some fish, especially juvenile forms, require. Unfortunately, fish-nursery conditions in Charlotte Harbor are not as favorable as they once were. Ecologists report that, overall, the Harbor's sea-grass meadows declined by about 29% between 1945 and 1982. A little more than half of this reduction was found in Pine Island Sound, Matlacha Pass, and San Carlos Bay. An adverse impact on the estuary's sea grass—probably transient— appears to have resulted from dredging associated with construction of the Intracoastal Waterway and the Sanibel Causeway.

Coastal Building Codes and Hurricane Damage
COASTAL BUILDING CODES AND HURRICANE DAMAGE Carolyn A.

Wilkinson, CFA, Lee County Property Appraiser, Lee County, Florida, for data, and especially to Jim Sherron. We thank Chris Jones for his coastal engineering insights. We also thank Peter Colwell, Ed Coulson, Chris Dehring, Jim Kau, Olivia Mitchell, Harold Mulherin, Henry Munneke, and Tony Yezer for helpful comments.

JEL Classification: H59, H76, Q54 Abstract We explore whether federal and state level changes to coastal building standards are effective in mitigating losses to coastal property following Hurricane Charley. We find properties built seaward of and after the reestablishment of the Coastal Construction Control Line, and those built under the National Flood Insurance Program and located in an A-Zone, had more damage relative to similarly located structures built before these regulatory changes. We show the NFIP regulations allowed for weaker foundation requirements and lower elevations relative to the earlier county code. This likely led to greater flood damage, as supported by analysis of individual structural components. 2 1. INTRODICTION In the United States, government limits the bundle of rights associated with real property ownership through building codes, also referred to as construction codes.

Aboriginal Occupation of Gasparilla Island by Robert F
Aboriginal Occupation of Gasparilla Island By Robert F. Edic Excerpted with permission from Maritime Archaeology of Lemon Bay, Florida, Florida Anthropological Society Publications, No. 14 (Spring 1999) In 1980 I moved to Gasparilla Island. By 1982 I had found an unrecorded aboriginal shell midden on land being cleared for house .construction. By 1989 I had discovered six additional aboriginal sites on Gasparilla Island, and two more on adjacent small islands, Hoagen and Sisters keys. Some of these sites date to c. A.D. 800 - 1500 and reveal that indigenous Florida Indians used Gasparilla Island more intensively than previously known. Environment At the end of the last Ice Age, about 20,000 years ago, the sea level was lower (approximately 200 feet) and Florida's Gulf coast was about 100 miles west of its present location. By 6,000 years ago, rising sea levels had started to inundate the area that is now Charlotte Harbor. Gasparilla Island is part of a chain of barrier islands at the mouth of Charlotte Harbor. The island is of recent origin. Radiocarbon dating of shells from beach-ridge deposits suggests the island is no more than approximately 3,000 years old. An isolated artifact - a chipped-stone projectile point or knife (Bolen Plain) made from fossil (silicified) coral -found on the beach by state park ranger Anne Marie Sampley, probably dates to ca. 7,000 B.C., well before the island formed. There is a general trend for erosion and shoreline recession along the western edge of Gasparilla Island, fronting the Gulf of Mexico. Archaeological sites are lacking there, and it is presumed that erosion has removed evidence of early sites that might have existed.
