“This has been a well-known problem for a really long time, that #cruise ships 🚢caused these dramatic spikes in turbidity and deterioration in water quality,” said (Arlo) Haskell/ @rlopolis of Safer Cleaner Ships / @ProtectKeyWest.
“The people of South Florida that care about protecting corals deserve an explanation from DEP / @FLDEPNews about why they've abandoned this recommendation that they put forward not very long ago.”
"Despite five requests since Aug. 20, DEP officials did not respond to emails or questions. In response to an email Wednesday, a spokeswoman said she was looking into the matter, but had not responded by deadline."🤐☹️

ICYMI: "The people of South Florida that care about protecting corals deserve an explanation," said @rlopolis w @ProtectKeyWest. I asked @FLDEPNews five times for an explanation between Aug. 20 and Sept. 4.

Write the Florida Cabinet & ask them to DENY the Pier B Cruiseport expansion, which would bring bigger cruise ships to Key West. Details & click-and-send cabinet letter in our latest newsletter here: us8.campaign-archive.com/?e=…

There’s no good reason to expand the Pier B cruiseport without an environmental impact assessment.
Someone has to step up and lead.
The Cabinet, respectfully, should deny this request to expand the cruiseport lease.
@WiltonSimpson @JimmyPatronis help us protect what’s left.

#Florida @GovRonDeSantis already overrode a popular vote against Key West cruise ships after receiving a campaign contribution from the pier operator -- now this. He works for his donors, not the people.
On Tuesday, Florida @GovRonDeSantis and elected Cabinet officers @JimmyPatronis @AshleyMoodyFL & @WiltonSimpson will vote on a recommendation by @FLDEPNews to authorize larger cruise ships at Key West’s Pier B Cruiseport, seen below, and extend the lease for 25 years.

Help @KeyWestLiterary to fully restore Elizabeth Bishop's 19th-century eyebrow house. ➡️key-west-literary-seminar.my…⬅️
"Florida Deserta" shows her poetic intrigue in Key West's architecture; the island's tin-shingled roofs are the scales of tarpon rolling beneath the water.

Here's a look at our conceptual design for the Elizabeth Bishop Garden at 624 White Street in Key West, where the beloved poet lived in the 1930s & 1940s while working on her landmark debut collection, North & South:

It was a waking dream to be given a tour of Elizabeth Bishop's house. Her poetry informed the poet I was becoming & has had a lasting impact on my heart & creative spirit. Grateful to Arlo Haskell & all the folks at the @KeyWestLiterary for a wonderful start to 2024.

It’s hard to overstate the effect of Negro League baseball.
Negro Leagues introduced baseball to Japan. Played in Latin America. They invented night baseball.
The league helped integrate America.

Another cruise ship, @CruiseNorwegian willing to flaunt Key West home rule and polluting this place. Over and over, Key West has said no to these horrible polluters and yet DeSantis overrode the will of Florida's citizens.

What a pleasure it was moderating today’s panel on environmental journalism with @craigtimes and @RebeccaRennerFL at the @KeyWestLiterary Seminar. Special thanks to the mystery guest who added this inflatable gator to the stage — it captured the theme!
