Arnade: The Tampa Bay Area from the Aborigines to the Spanish THE TAMPA BAY AREA FROM THE ABORIGINES TO THE SPANISH By Charles W. Arnade The history of the extended Tampa Bay area, ranging from Citrus County through Sarasota County and including the inland counties of Sumter, Polk, Hardee, DeSoto, and possibly Highland, has not been completely told or even well summarized. Maybe it cannot yet be written because much primary research still remains to be done. Furthermore, the amount of misinfor- mation, including unsubstantiated legends, is great and continues to be repeated in spite of new historical evidence. This is aggravated by the presence in the area of a great number of retirees who, in their search for a hobby, take to amateur anthropology, archaeology, history, and even geology. Amateurs can be most helpful if they know the guidelines and techniques of professionals. A prime example of a first-rate historical production by a nonacademic is Frank Laumer's Massacre! about the Seminole War in today's Sumter County.1 However, we have innumerable publications by amateurs - usually printed by vanity presses - which add nothing to better knowledge of our past, but rather detract from efforts to further good history.

  • EDA Grant for Florida Startups Yields Lakeland Group Investment
    EDA Grant For Florida Startups Yields Lakeland Group Investment Seeds sown by Tampa Bay Wave and Upsurge Florida lead to investment in Wave member technology company, JustProtect. Tampa, Fla. (July 9, 2020) – Seeds planted by a grant from the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) to promote investor awareness and seed funding activity in Florida have recently blossomed into a significant investment in the Tampa- based regulatory compliance assessment technology company, JustProtect (https:// justprotect.co). The recent, undisclosed six-figure investment was made by newly-formed Lakeland-based Lakeland Venture Investments (LVI) and establishes new community ties between the emerging tech ecosystem in Lakeland and Tampa Bay. Notably, LVI’s investment is the first significant Tampa Bay area investment to be born out of the 2018 EDA grant, made to technology accelerator Tampa Bay Wave (https://www.tampabaywave.org). The EDA grant, alongside Orlando’s StarterStudio (https://www.starterstudio.org) and with support from the Vinik Family Foundation, Tampa Electric, University of Central Florida and Kirenaga Partners, kick-started what has now been branded the Upsurge Florida initiative to promote early stage technology investments along the I-4 corridor, from the Space Coast to the Gulf Coast (https://www.upsurgeflorida.org). Since last fall, Upsurge Florida has held a series of in-person accredited investor roadshow presentations, forming hundreds of new accredited investor connections, including one between longtime community leader and entrepreneurship advocate, Chip Webster and Allen Clary, a presenter at the event and Director of Investor Relations at Tampa Bay Wave, ultimately leading to an introduction to LVI founder, Wesley Barnett.

  • Chapter 3. Origin and Evolution of Tampa Bay 37
    Chapter 3. Origin and Evolution of Tampa Bay 37 Chapter 3. Origin and Evolution of Tampa Bay By Gerold Morrison (AMEC-BCI) and Kimberly K. Yates (U.S. Geological Survey–St. Petersburg, Florida) TAMPA BAY HAS AN UNUSUAL geologic history when compared to many other estuaries in the eastern U.S. (Brooks and Doyle, 1998; Hine and others, 2009). It lies near the center of the carbonate Florida Platform (fig. 3–1), and is associated with a buried “shelf valley system” (including a paleo-channel feature located beneath the modern Egmont Channel) that formed in the early Miocene, about 20 million years ago (Ma) (Hine, 1997; Donahue and others, 2003; Duncan and others, 2003). Since that time the area has been subject to substantial fluctuations in sea level and alternating periods of sediment deposition and removal. These events have produced a complex distribution of siliciclastic and carbonate-based sediments within the bay, its associated barrier islands, and the inner Florida shelf (Brooks and Doyle, 1998; Brooks and others, 2003; Duncan and others, 2003; Ferguson and Davis, 2003). Sinkholes and other karst features in the underlying carbonate strata, which are common throughout the west-central Florida region, have been important factors underlying the development of both Tampa Bay (Brooks and Doyle, 1998; Donahue and others, 2003) and Charlotte Harbor, a geologically similar estuary located about 100 mi to the south (Hine and others, 2009). In the case of Tampa Bay, the underlying shelf valley system consists of multiple karst controlled subbasins (separated by bedrock highs) that have been filled by sediments, some of which were deposited fluvially (Hine and others, 2009).

  • Assessment of Manatee Monitoring Programs in Tampa Bay
    Tampa Bay National Estuary Program Technical Publication #13-96 ASSESSMENT OF MANATEE MONITORING PROGRAMS IN TAMPA BAY Brad Weigle, FMRI Research Scientist and staff of the FMRI Marine Mammals Program ABSTRACT Manatee monitoring programs for Tampa Bay, coordinated by scientific staff at the Florida Department of Environmental Protection’s Florida Marine Research Institute in St. Petersburg, were reviewed to examine the status of individual projects along with the adequacy and availability of data for management purposes. Evaluations of data and recommendations for program changes were solicited from management staff using a confidential questionnaire. In comparison to other regions of the state, manatee data for the Tampa Bay area were rated highest for completeness and availability. Ideas to improve access to additional data and to shorten the time between data acquisition and availability were included in responses. A CD-ROM containing manatee GIS data including statewide mortality locations and aerial survey results along with habitat base maps was tested and demonstrated to resource managers as part of the assessment project. INTRODUCTION Endangered Florida manatees, Trichechus manatus latirostris, are year round residents in the Tampa Bay area. Programs to monitor the Tampa Bay manatee population are coordinated by staff of the Marine Mammals Program (MMP) at the Florida Department of Environmental Protection’s (FDEP) Marine Research Institute (FMRI) in St. Petersburg. Since its inception in Fiscal Year (FY) 1984-85, the MMP staff has grown from four initial members: a program manager, a sign contract manager, a research biologist, and a secretary. The management portion of the MMP moved to FDEP headquarters in Tallahassee during 1990, leaving the research staff program in St.
