To: Manatee County Board of Commissioners

Save Long Bar Pointe

Vote NO on Long Bar Pointe dredging and mangrove removal.

Why is this important?

A greedy developer, Carlos Beruff, wants to destroy a critical shoreline area in Manatee County, Florida. Long Bar Pointe provides refuge for countless manatees, dolphins, seahorses, fish, and other species. Sarasota and Manatee county residents benefit greatly from its fisheries and natural beauty.

Beruff wants to displace it with a massive condo / hotel / shopping complex. It will destroy fishing, tourism and recreation jobs, and kill irreplaceable wildlife. The Manatee County Commissioners should vote NO on Beruff's plan - even if he has tried to buy them off with huge campaign contributions.

The Commissioners will be considering Beruff's proposal at a public hearing on Aug 6. We need to have a massive petition to deliver then. So sign this NOW and then send to your friends!
