Growing up in Southern California, I was surrounded by coastal culture, which has influenced me in many ways. No matter whether I lived in San Diego or Ventura county, I was never more than ten minutes away from the beach. Every weekend, it seemed, my dad would take us to the beach as family so we could play in the water, build sandcastles, catch hermit crabs, see the tide pools, and most of all, spend time together. I was enchanted by all the beach had to offer. Every sandcastle built was a palace

If Marine Science was not fascinating enough, think about how interesting it is that high school students are being introduced to it at such an early age, and how this introductory science can have a measurable impact on our environment. Today’s young adults do not cease to amaze and have become the future representatives of eco-friendly living. STPS’s very own Michael Conner had the honor of lecturing these eco-beacons and green go getters about sea turtles in Ryan Cilsick’s gifted 12th grade

The Math and Science High School at Clover Hill was the most fitting program for me and I was a part of the competitively academic program

The effects of climate change may already be influencing weather patterns in southeast Florida. If temperatures rise, it is to expect that Florida’s climate zones will migrate northward, and zones of more tropical climate will enlarge, but the opposite has been the case despite record temperatures in the state because, while temperatures are higher, extremes are greater. As a result of sea level rise, coastal areas will see migration of seawater into fresh aquifers that will threaten the availability

Hollywood was the driving force for a US$6 million project to deepen the harbor inlet, widen the turning basin and build modern 35-foot piers at Bay Mable. Completed early in 1928, it is said that more than 85 percent of the residents of Broward County turned out to witness the dedication of their new port. At the same time, local women’s groups led successful efforts to replace the unpopular Bay Mable Harbor name which what they thought would be a
