Welcome to Florida Podcast: Dr. Beach 3-27-21

This week's episode begins with a look at why Florida's manatees are dying this winter at a rate which threatens the survival of the species. Craig Pittman's latest column for the Florida Phoenix digs in deep on the reasons, which are preventable. Craig's 2010 book "Manatee Insanity" goes even further in detailing the decades-long conservation effort in Florida to protect manatees, as well as calling out the people working against manatee protection. Our guest is Stephen Leatherman who you probably know as Dr. Beach. Each year he compiles a list of the 10 Best Beaches in the U.S., which leads to a tremendous amount of pride for those named, jealousy for those not named, and arguments among everyone.  #florida #drbeach #beaches #floridabeaches #stpetecatalyst #welcometof;orida #tampabay #radio #radiostpete
