Pier will be turtle friendly. We realize we share the beach and
want to protect all of our natural resources. A TV monitor will
be placed on the pier showing education materials, including
information about turtles and their nesting seasons as well as
the pelican release program and Naples fishing information.

The Naples Pier, built in 1888, is one of the most visited
sightseeing and fishing attractions in southwest Florida
drawing nearly 1.1 million visitors last year. I am excited for
our residents and our visitors as I know this is something all of
our friends and families can enjoy for years and years to come.

As always, I want to ask all of you who have ideas,
suggestions or comments to contact me at 239.213.1000 or
