Business owners and tourism experts explain how red tide affects bottom lines. They want something done about issues that make the problem worse and agree that journalists could help by how they cover these blooms.

Despite laws precluding the artificial feeding of bald eagles, and the fact that the nest is in private property, some people remain adamant that the birds need help.

They were damaged after Hurricane Ian. While whey may be open, some amenities such as restroom facilities, piers and walkovers have not been repaired or replaced at this time.

A sign professing “We miss you Harriet" was placed Sunday on the fencing surrounding the horse pasture where the nesting tree is located along Bayshore Road.

An initial investigation into feeding activities involving the nest of breeding eagles Harriet and M15 along Bayshore Road was being conducted by the Florida Fish & Wildlife Commission.

Red tide has been reported at Buck Key by Blind Pass, Gasparilla Island State Park by Boca Grande Pass, and Tarpon Bay Road Beach and Lighthouse Beach, both on Sanibel.

Feeding eagles is prohibited under state and federal law. On Sunday, one person was seen placing something at the base of the tree, where two eaglets and male M15 remain after the female Harriet left.

It focuses on hope and resilience, curiosity, excitement, and confidence in an effort to lure visitors.

The drama involving Harriet the eagle brings a warning for those trying to lure the bird back to her nest or care for her eaglets.

Ian-related deaths have been confirmed in 19 counties.
