(If so, you might want to lend us your support) Committee of the Islands is a hands-on watchdog and advocacy group, unique on the islands for what we strive for and what we do. Our mission is to help protect the environment, preserve the sanctuary character of our island community, and ensure the continuity of good local government, which includes taking positions on important ballot issues. And – if you’ve read this far – we do it with the help of people like you. Here are a few examples of what we mean… How The Committee Has Helped Protect Our Island

Let’s remember our history: In 1974 Lee County projected a population of 90,000 for Sanibel. Several groups of residents fought these plans and succeeded in incorporating Sanibel as a self-governing city within the county. The Committee of the Islands was then formed to preserve these hard-fought gains and act on behalf of island preservation. Help us help you to keep Sanibel Special. The effort to preserve and protect our island community is not over. It never will be. Continuing vigilance is required to keep Sanibel the unique place it is.

Along with the public, Florida Gulf Coast University students, center support- ers, members of the board of advisors, and center staff absorbed Oliver’s descriptive connections to the natural world, which were sometimes personal and at other times universal, inquisitive and inspiring. The annual event seeks to engage the pub- lic in discussions on sustainability, ethics, democracy and literature with scholars and public intellectuals. Oliver was invited to speak because her lyrical poetry has inspired a deep apprecia- tion for the wildness and beauty of nature. Her poems included those from her recent Peter Blaze Corcoran and Mary Oliver publication, A Thousand Mornings, and others from forthcoming publications. At the lecture, FGCU President Wilson Bradshaw presented Mary Oliver with the Rachel Carson Award. The center gives its highest award, in the form of a conch shell, to a recipient who embodies Rachel Carson’s contributions most relevant to the center – public policy based on sound science and ethics, active participation of an ecological- ly-literate citizenry, and appreciation of the natural world through the literary arts and The Center for Environmental and Sustainability Education celebrated another successful environmental education. fundraiser The following evening was full of food, fun and fundraising to support the center’s mission.

The vultures and condors of this hemisphere are actu- ally more closely related to the storks found in North, Central and South America, including our very own wood stork. If you look more closely at our stork, he already has a featherless head (an advantage for future carrion-feeders so they won’t get any neck-feathers all mucked-up when they stick their head inside the body cavity of a dead animal). Next, if you could somehow shorten his bill, shorten his neck, shorten his legs and – most importantly – get him to be able to eat rotten food and not get sick and die, well, you’d have yourself a “vulture.” I believe how this was able to happen is that there was a “niche” available in this hemisphere for a vulture-like carrion- feeder, but no existing species was occu- pying that niche at the time, so an exist- ing species already present in the western hemisphere gene pool slowly evolved into that niche. Now, this “evolution” did not happen overnight. The forces of natural selection usually, though not necessarily always, work slowly over time using mutations as the driving force.
