Oral History Video: Cortez Fisherman Thomas Blue Fulford
Thomas Fulford, more commonly known as Blue, is 87 years old and has lived in Cortez Florida his whole life. Blue learned to fish at an early age, a trade which supported him much the same as it had supported many generations of Fulfords before him. During Blue's career as a fisherman, he witnessed the enactment of legislation which banned the type of commercial fishing that had sustained his family and community for over a century. Blue portrays life as a fisherman on Florida's suncoast, and how that has changed over the course of his life.

Anna Maria Island & Bradenton, FL Aerial
With its white sandy beaches and warm temperatures, for many years Anna Maria Island was considered a hidden gem, the sleepy island providing a rare slice of Old Florida. In the past decade, tourism development has been targeted as a key economic goal by island, county and state officials and millions of tax dollars have been invested to draw visitors to the island with national and international advertising and publicity efforts. Ponce de Leon named the island for Maria Anna von der Pfalz-Neuburg, the queen of Charles II of Spain, the sponsor of his expedition.
We start off over the Palm Sola Causeway (also known as Manatee Ave Causeway), flying towards Holmes Beach, one of three municipalities on the Island. The other two are Bradenton Beach on in the south part and Anna Maria on the north part of the Island.
On the north part of the Island is Rod & Reel Pier & Restaurant 875 N. Shore Dr, a popular fishing area. The main north-south road on the island is Gulf Drive, which begins on the south end of the island at the foot of the Longboat Pass Bridge from Longboat Key. Gulf Drive is the only road that runs the entire length of the island. We show a popular wedding venue & restaurant The Sandbar. For info on weddings at the Sandbar see
The southern tip of Anna Maria Island borders Longboat Key, Sarasota. Cortez Bridge (cr684) connects the mainland with Bradenton Beach. Anna Maria Island was only accessible by boat until 1921, when the wooden Cortez Bridge was constructed from the fishing village of Cortez to what is now Bridge Street in Bradenton Beach. The remaining parts of the Cortez Bridge are used as a fishing pier.
We then fly over Holmes Beach and the Manatee Ave Bridge to the Palm Sola Causeway back to downtown Bradenton.
Bradenton was incorporated in 1903, originally known as Bradentown, named after Dr Joseph Braden, whose nearby fort-like house was a refuge for early settlers during Seminole Indian attacks. In 1943 the Florida legislature merged the cities of Manatee & Bradentown to form the current Bradenton.
The South Florida Museum home of the Bishop Planetarium, sits near the Manatee River in Downtown Bradenton.
We then fly over two popular waterfront restaurants and marinas on opposite sides of the Manatee River. On the Bradenton side is Pier 22 and the Twin Dolphin Marina. On the Palmetto side is The Riverhouse Reef & Grille, also a poplular wedding venue and the Regatta Pointe Marina.
The Manatee River is a 36 mile river that forms in northeastern corner of Manatee County and flows into the Gulf of Mexico.

[Wikipedia] Maritime history of Florida
The maritime history of Florida describes significant past events relating to the U.S. state of Florida in areas concerning shipping, shipwrecks, and military installations and lighthouses constructed to protect or aid navigation and development of the Florida peninsula.
A long and flat peninsula surrounded by the Gulf of Mexico, the Florida Straits and the Atlantic Ocean, Florida has a long and rich maritime history. The size and shape of Florida, along with its natural features like reefs, shoals, water depth, currents, locations of rivers and inlets and the weather, have affected where people lived and where vessels wrecked. Florida has some of the best natural harbors in the country, resulting in the state becoming an international maritime crossroads.
Humans have inhabited Florida for at least twelve thousand years, and perhaps more. The earliest inhabitants would not recognize their home today, because the sea level is twenty to fifty fathoms higher and has covered nearly half of the Florida peninsula. Many people lived near springs and sinkholes and along rivers and near the coasts in areas like present-day Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve, relying on fresh and saltwater fish and shellfish as important parts of their diet. The archeological remains at some of the earliest places they lived now are underwater and on the bottom of rivers and springs and offshore on the continental shelf.
From at least six thousand years ago, the native people of Florida traveled the waterways and coasts by canoe, facilitating communication and trade among the tribes. About three hundred prehistoric canoes have been found in more than two hundred sites in Florida.

SeaWorld Orlando Manatee Rescue 2/14/2019
Yesterday, late on February 12, an orphaned manatee, rescued and rehabilitated by the SeaWorld Rescue Team and partner facilities in 2015, is back at SeaWorld Orlando after teams were alerted to an unaccountable weight loss in the juvenile male.
Buckeye was first rescued - orphaned and underweight - in Daytona Beach, Florida in September, 2015. He spent more than two years with the SeaWorld animal care team for extended rehabilitation and care, including round the clock attention and bottle feedings. He was transferred to the Jacksonville Zoo as part of the Manatee Rescue & Rehabilitation Partnership (MRP) in late 2017 and was returned to Blue Springs State Park in March 2018 more than 600 lbs. heavier, a healthy weight to be able to thrive in a natural environment, especially during colder winter months.
Yesterday’s rescue was a preemptive intervention, allowing SeaWorld veterinarians to conduct diagnostic testing on Buckeye to identify the cause of the weight loss. The team is hopeful that Buckeye will be cleared for return to Blue Springs State Park in the near future.
In 2018 the SeaWorld Rescue team assisted with a record number 72 manatees suffering from a variety of aliments including cold stress, red tide and entanglement. The goal with every rescue is to rehabilitate and return the animal as quickly as possible.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), South Florida Museum, Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Gardens, the Jacksonville Zoo and Sea to Shore Alliance work with SeaWorld works with the Manatee Rescue & Rehabilitation Partnership (MRP), a cooperative group of non-profit, private, state, and federal entities who together monitor the health and survival of rehabilitated and released manatees.
The SeaWorld Rescue team is on-call 24/7, 365 days a year, giving marine animals a second chance at life.

5 Creepiest Cyclops Caught On Camera 《Anyfacts》
Audiences know the moniker Cyclops as the X-Men character whose eyes are deadly. But the word Cyclops comes from Homer, first author of western literature. The Cyclops was a legendary one-eyed giant who trapped and ate unlucky sailors. Odysseus, master of tricks, fooled the giant into getting drunk, then blinded it with a flaming spear. But are one-eyed mutants purely fiction, or are there genuine Cyclops among us today? Here are 5 videos of potential real-life Homeric legends. Let's begin!
#5 - Baby, You Ain't Kiddin'
This truly freaky yet mysterious Youtube vid shows an apparent newborn baby Cyclops on a medical table being examined. Released in 2013 by The Video Mix Channel, only 39 Youtubers have commented on the video. However, the clip has undoubtedly stirred fierce debate and angry emotions. Some believe that the lack of a nose, and the lack of blinking from the baby's one eye, indicates that the upload is nothing more than fake special effects. But others maintain that the footage is of a real life, genetically deformed infant who is said to have died soon after the video was taken.
#4 - Tall Cyclops, On The Rocks
Remember, the Cyclops of legend wasn't merely a human being with one eye, but a giant who lives in a shore-side cave. This video uploaded to Youtube by the user National Trust in 2015, claims to show footage of a secret, giant door in the rocks by an Irish bay, being swung shut by a giant creature which locals have named Finn McCool. The video has some trappings of a hoax, for instance the faltering and vague news report and the fact that the camera barely peeks inside the dark doorway before it closes. But townsfolk seem convinced that something akin to a real-life Cyclops in dwelling - and sleeping - in the cliffs.
#3 - Cyclops of the Sea
Cyclops have turned up in the animal kingdom too. This video taken in Mexico in 2011 shows a young female explorer displaying her amazing find - a deceased, infant one-eyed shark that Mexican marine scientists agreed was one of a kind, or at least the first one-eyed shark to be discovered in the ocean.Many Youtubers predictably call the clip a hoax. But user OpalFirefly88 lays down a knowledge bomb, saying that the shark must have suffered from a genetic developmental disorder called holoprosencephaly, and that the carcass is indeed real. However, no one can offer an explanation for the fish's albino pigment.
#2 - Eye Spy Pepperoni
In Homer's The Odyssey, the Cyclops who is blinded by Odysseus and his men is said to exist on a diet of cheese, wine, and human beings. This modern-day human cyclops is a little more friendly, but still retains the cheese habit! In a documentary interview posted by Youtube channel The Multiverse, a woman said to have been born with no eyes demonstrates an incredible camera-eye given to her through a state-of-the-art surgery. In the clip, the girl discusses her childhood and snacks on a pizza. When a commenter suggests that the woman's artificial Cyclops-eye may be the real thing, another skeptically points out that they'll believe it - the a hover board and personal jet pack arrives in the mail next to the detergent samples.
#1 - A Cyclopean Super-Soldier
Remember the WikiLeaks Dinosaur said to have photographed in Soviet Russia? These incredible images, reported on by the YouTube channel Absolutely Incredible, are said to be evidence of a giant humanoid super-soldier bred by Cold War Moscow scientists to potentially wreck havoc on enemies from the West.The Absolutely Incredible team calculates only a ten to fifteen percent chance that the evidence is genuine, but even so the possibility is intriguing - and creepy. And even if the photographs are a hoax, you have to admit this fella would be a great final-level Nintendo bad guy. Move over Mother Brain!
