Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The vibrant Sanibel and Captiva Islands are ecological marvels compared to Florida's many overbuilt barrier islands. Development began with the construction of the Sanibel Island Lighthouse in 1884, when only the lighthouse keeper and assistant and their families lived on the island. Noted conservationist Jay N. "Ding" Darling led the charge in preserving the islands' wildlife and natural beauty from the greed of real estate speculators and land developers in the 1930s. Former presidents like Harry Truman and cabinet-level executives worked alongside Sanibel and Captiva residents, setting up preserves and wildlife refuges to guard the integrity of the islands' unique natural blessings, abundant wildlife and aquatic stores. Charles LeBuff and Betty Anholt review the evolution of the islands' conservation ethic and how it perseveres even today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the Second Edition of a definitive semi-technical book related to the biology and conservation of the sea turtles that live in the nearby waters and nest on the beaches of Southwest Florida. Originally published as, The Loggerhead Turtle in the Eastern Gulf of Mexico, this edition has been updated to include more information about the biology and ecology of the four other species of sea turtles that share the marine environment and have life histories that in many ways are similar to that of the loggerhead turtle. This book details the results of a 30-year study on Sanibel and Captiva islands and which extended to many other of the barrier island chain along the Southwest Florida coast. Sea turtle biology, ancestry, taxonomy, physiology, diet, reproductive behavior, embryological development, and survival problems are some of the subjects discussed. Conservation biology has played an important role in safe-guarding the survival of the Endangered and Threatened sea turtles of the Gulf of Mexico. Long-term conservation efforts on the beaches of Southwest Florida have had positive results and have had a primary role in the recovery of the region's sea turtles. The historical aspects of this work are fully covered in this book as are many of the author's personal experiences as he contributed nearly a lifetime of effort and has seen his work and that of others become a success.This book contains a variety of superb images including photographs, original drawings, maps, and graphics rendered by Warren Boutchia and Mary Lou Schadt. Noted turtle specialist, Dr. Peter Pritchard wrote the Introduction.

One day, like her ancestors before her, she returns to the island guided by the stars and the circle of life, a new mother to be - after earning her Ocean Degree. Her story is a legend, that is still told today by the children that wander these sandy shores...when it is still early, just barely light and the moon and the sun wink in the dawn of the morning light.

Book excerpt: "Juan Ponce de Leon officially discovered the Sea Shell Islands, Sanibel and Captiva, in 1513 when he turned landward on the Gulf Coast of Florida and sailed south 'as far as some islands that make out to sea.' An abundant food supply attracted Indians before the Age of Discovery and their gold, gleaned from shipwrecks, brought the Spanish conquistadores, Slavers, pirates, marauding Seminoles -- all were part of the colorful, often tempestuous, history of these islands, now famous for sea shells. Mrs. Dormer's descriptions are informative and always lively, whether she's discussing and re-creating the accidental discovery of Sanibel and Captiva, making conjectures about a possible earlier visit by Amerigo Vespucci, or delving into the personal histories of some of the first permanent settlers on the two tiny isles. She makes it clear why such personages as Thomas A. Edison, Theodore Roosevelt and Edna St. Vincent Millay were drawn there as well. the present also is very real in The Sea Shell Islands as Islanders fight to keep the charms of another era against the almost insurmountable odds of explosive growth."--Publisher's description.
