Welcome EcoTourists

by Richard H. Stewart
PUBLISHER/EDITOR-IN-CHIEF


I LOVE THIS PLACE!

I travel the world in search of pristine environments and it never ceases to amaze me how I gravitate back here! Fact is, for a thriving, growing community, we are graced with an environment other towns and counties can only dream of having.

On one side we have the powerful Atlantic ocean with all of its ever-moving marine
creatures — and to the west, the most bio-diverse estuary in the country. Mother nature truely touched our world here.

I wanted to publish this guide for a number of reasons — to share with our residents and visitors the need to preserve this gift — to Respect & Protect it — but I believe that to do so you have to discover all of the wonderful experiences one can enjoy with our adventures in nature. Eco-tours, bird watching, the leisure passing of dolphins and, in the winter, our manatees.

Not to over look all of the aquatic activities from surfing, diving and sailing to kayaking and canoeing — and honestly, if you are not out and about in this eco-playground, you are truly missing our natural treasures.

So I say — welcome to our paradise — enjoy, savor, but most of all — help us protect this
fragile environment!

ps: a heart-felt thanks to all of the sponsoring advertisers that made this guide a reality. Without their support we could not have made it to press, and to Fielding Cooley, Executive Director of the Marine Discovery Center - for which this guide is dedicated — for his support and encouragement in the pursuit of this year-long project!
