I don't think there's any question among the scientific community that rebuilding our barrier islands is a smart thing to do, because our whole coastline is retreating.

The ultimate goal is to provide in 5 years a sound scientific basis for the management of the barrier islands here and also around the United States.

These barrier islands and barrier islands around the US are extraordinarily important. They do protect the mainland coast form the higher wave energies. They are also important in protecting bio diversity. They are important refuges for plants and animals.

The same thing is happening on the barrier islands, like Longboat Key and Anna Maria, when you have a red tide in the area, ... But the data is not at a fine enough resolution to tease out the economic impact.

Evacuations went very well ... people did come off the islands and left the coastline in a good way ... we just have to wait for this to pass through,

Common sense tells you that the more frequent these storms are the worse off we are all going to be and certainly the worse off the barrier islands are going to be.

Now the motivation is to keep the carp from coming from the other direction.

The more we have growth along our beaches and barrier islands, shelter is always going to be an issue.

These barrier islands are in many places the first line of defense for the mainland. If we have another hurricane hit, how much worse will the impact be?

We are adding some barrier walls and islands to make it easier to identify the driveways and safer to get in and out of shopping centers.

Recent hurricanes like Katrina showed it doesn't make sense to develop to that extent on barrier islands.

They have decided to increase drastic pressure against us to urge us to retreat, but such a retreating would be strategic and lead to a chain of other retreating.

17,000 islands, a huge coastline, and very little [police] resources, it is hard...to stop oil smugglers. The way to stop smuggling is to remove the root cause -- the huge subsidies.
