Sanibel Captiva Conservation Foundation

The sea turtle nesting season that started just months after Ian hit ended up setting records for loggerhead turtles on Sanibel and Captiva island.

Florida's bald eagle season underway now through May 15.

People living on Sanibel and Captiva weren’t the only ones driven from their homes by Hurricane Ian’s churning storm surge.Wildlife, amphibians and birds were displaced. Some species have come back fine, others are struggling to survive while others yet remain missing-in-action.

Community partners will host the fourth annual Captiva Coastal Cleanup from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Sept. 30 at McCarthy’s Marina, located at 11401 Andy Rosse Lane on Captiva Island.

The Captiva Community Panel will meet at 9 a.m. Tuesday via Zoom to hear panel reaction to last week’s Lee County Commission vote to lift height restrictions on Captiva were lifted.

South Seas Island resort would like to rebuild higher than is currently allowed. It would also like an exception to the county's density rules. These ideas are not sitting well with some residents.

The restoration efforts at Puschel Preserve are on once again after Hurricane Ian. The progress is swift. And it’s (almost) all about the water, where it’s going, what’s using it, and how clean it stays.

South Seas Island Resort is stuck in limbo with plans to build back its hotel until the county changes its land use code

Sanibel and Captiva residents are adamantly opposed to proposed code changes that would allow South Seas Resort much more latitude on building height and density restrictions.

The group called The SanCap Citizens for a Resilient Future held a third townhall on Monday, May 15, on Sanibel. The focus this time was to assess the emergency response on the islands and the lessons learned after Hurricane Ian. Two themes emerged: pivot and evacuation.
