Monroe County Commissioner Craig Cates hosted a town hall meeting Wednesday on Stock Island to discuss the development of the Boca Chica Mooring Field. Residents and stakeholders interested in the future of Boca Chica Basin were encouraged to attend.

“This was a great opportunity to meet with the residents of Stock Island and present the positive impacts of the mooring field, the upland facilities, and address any concerns,” said Cates.

Community members were able to talk directly with Cates, Monroe County Marine Resources Senior Administrator Brittany Burtner, and other project planners and local officials about issues caused by long-term unmanaged anchoring, the benefits of managed mooring fields, the conceptual design of the mooring field and upland site, and the mooring field management plans.

To address boating impacts associated with unmanaged anchorages in the Florida Keys, Monroe County is working to develop and manage a system of public mooring fields, including the Boca Chica Mooring Field. The intent is to eliminate abandoned and derelict vessels, ensure compliance with the Clean Vessel Act, minimize benthic damage, and provide a safe, secure harbor for transient and long-term recreational vessels.

This is a picture of the very first automobile to travel from Florida City to Key West entirely by car! Imagine how long and bumpy that ride was! After 23 years of operations, the Florida East Coast Railway company went bankrupt following the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935. This presented a fantastic opportunity for the State of Florida as they were able to purchase the entire railroad with all of its land, easements, and bridges for just $640K which equates to a mere $13.8 million dollars in today’s money. To put better into perspective how cheap that is, the State of Florida just paid $41 million dollars to repair a 2.2 mile span of the old 7 mile bridge, JUST to repair it!

We are in Wall SD. At Wall Drug's. Quite a place. It opened in 1931 and has been here ever since. They keep it going by giving out ice to a weary and thirsty travlers which is still done today. We had ice cream it sounded better than water.
