The first victory
When Tom Singley moved his young family to Pascagoula in 1971, he bought a boat - then he went looking for a house. "I got my priorities right," he said. He had grown up enjoying the woods around Meridian, hunting and fishing and earning Eagle Scout rank. But he had never been on the Pascagoula River. "It was an amazing sight," he recalled recently. "It took me a long time to learn what we had here."
Fresh from his medical training, he also learned how politics had dictated the river's use, especially around the highly industrialized eastern channel. Growth trumped nature.

MANATEE COUNTY -- A coalition of county officials, city leaders and environmentalists are joining to push for a half percent increase of the county sales tax.
The unifying force bringing together the often opposing parties is money -- the tax is expected to raise about $18 million in its first year. The revenue collected likely would increase during the life of the 10-year tax because of inflation.
The county would get about $14 million of the first-year revenue to buy environmentally sensitive land and to build parks and sidewalks. Bradenton, Palmetto and the beach cities would divvy up the remaining $4 million, based on population.

Backcountry
Maybe it's just me, but it sure seems that many people who vacation in the Keys never actually experience them. Visitors owe it to themselves to do at least these two things before heading home:
First, spend some time enjoying our beautiful reefs. If you can swim, take part in a snorkeling trip. If you can't swim, a glass-bottom boat excursion will work. Just get out there and take in one of the most spectacular sights in all of North America, our living coral reef.
Second, a visitor to our island chain really ought to take a trip into the backcountry. You will marvel at the wildlife all around.

Feds Blunder In Bishop's Harbor Decision - from Tampa Bay Online
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has made a monumental and apparently politically inspired blunder in forcing Florida environmental agencies to resume dumping phosphate wastes into Bishop's Harbor, on the south shore of Tampa Bay.
The federal agency, crumbling to demands of a few commercial fishermen, denied a permit that would have allowed millions of gallons of wastes to be barged away from the shallow, environmentally sensitive waters of the harbor, all the way out to the depths at the edge of the continental shelf, 100 miles from shore in water from 200 to 1,000 feet deep.
Yacht expedition in Sea of Cortes one whale of a journey
SEA OF CORTES, Mexico - Seventy percent of Earth's surface is covered with water, we learn in school, and 97 percent of that water is in the oceans.
That computes to about 138 million square miles of saltwater spread around the globe - a gee-whiz fact for sure, but so what?
Consider this: Beneath the surface of the seas swim at least 4,000 representatives of the largest living species on Earth, the blue whale.
So endangered are these creatures that the random chance of seeing a mature behemoth pop its head up is about 1 in a number with too many digits to fit on the face of a calculator.

Someone told me that the Bald Eagles were vultures in tuxedos; roosting in alder trees along the river and feeding on salmon carcasses.
Located in southeast Alaska along the Inland Passage, Haines is at the same northerly latitude as Oslo, Norway. Haines is a 758-mile drive from Anchorage. Skagway is only 13 air miles away, but the road between the two is 359 miles long.
The quirkiness found in Haines reminds many people of the mythical town of Cicely from TV's "Northern Exposure." This series was filmed in Roslyn, Washington. Autos travel at speeds much slower than those in the Lower 48.
Fishing Q&A
Fishing Q&A of the Day
All of our fishing questions are answered by Ken Schultz
QUESTION: If you have to leave a hook in the mouth of a freshwater fish, will it eventually rust away or possibly work its way out?
ANSWER: It's doubtful that the hook will work itself free. Some tests have shown that bronze, nickel, and gold hooks, which are most commonly used in freshwater, will break down (meaning they will become corroded, britle, and unusable though not totally decomposed) in two to three weeks. In saltwater, these last just 49 to 54 hours. Stainless-steel and cadmium-tin hooks last for an indeterminate time in freshwater.
