On Saturday February 5, locals will protest the arrival of @CelebrityCruise Constellation, scheduled to arrive at 11:30. Come down to Mallory Square, or bring your boat. Celebrity has a chance to cancel, we hope they do. We are standing up for our vote, our reef, and our town.
Tomorrow! A rally to demand action on cruise ship pollution in #RedHook! The City must fix the system, make it usable for every ship visiting Brooklyn, and, as per @alexaforcouncil’s proposal, EVERY ship must plug in EVERY time! For 17 years Red Hook has been fighting for this!
Ughhhh "On July 20th, CRF™ teams visited Sombrero Reef, a restoration site we've been working at for over a decade. What we found was unimaginable - 100% coral mortality. We have also lost almost all the corals in the Looe Key Nursery in the Lower Keys.” coralrestoration.org/post/historic-…
The citizens are suing Bar Harbor for not obeying our ban on booking anymore cruise ship passengers from mobbing our land base tourist destination. It has been decided by a 58-42% margin to limit the number of passengers to 1000 per day. But our TC continues to sign up more.

Thank you @NatlParkService for inviting me to be part of your @CherryBlossFest Parade team! I marched in this parade as a Key West High School sophomore in 1983. 40 years later, it was great be among young people from all over the US celebrating cherry blossoms!

UPDATE: This bill just advanced in the FL Senate Rules Committee. The sponsor, @NickDiCeglie, claimed a late-filed amendment resolved all Everglades concerns. It doesn't resolve ours. Undercutting citizens' ability to challenge harmful growth is bad for water and wetlands.
We need you to take urgent action against a bad Senate Bill that would disempower citizens and lead to more development and sprawl. Tell Senate Rules Committee Chair @debbie_mayfield to STOP SB 540! Click the link to find a pre-formatted letter. everglades.org/tell-sen-mayfi…

caymancompass.com/2023/03/22/eco… Across the Caribbean, there isn’t adequate data to calculate the net FX or fiscal impact of the tourism sector, yet policymakers continue to emphasize tourism. What if it’s a net FX and fiscal drain? Then we are importing poverty & exporting progress.
