It is mostly in front of the beach and recreation building and it is in 9 feet of water. It will be visually pleasing and environmentally sound. There are no sea grasses at the chosen location. The mooring field will be run by our harbormaster who does such a good job with the Marina now. He will run our mooring field right.

Our waterfront is our most important asset. Increased revenues to our downtown businesses will enhance downtown property taxes and benefit the entire city without upsetting the lovely character of our downtown. Boaters flock to venues not half as attractive as Gulfport. With secure mooring facilities and services in place our city will become a popular west coast venue for cruisers.

It will bring an economic boom to the Gulfport area, while serving to protect the seagrasses that are normally disturbed by standard use of anchors. Boaters want to come to areas where communities have thought of their safety and the environment in intelligent ways. Make Gulfport's mooring field the glowing example of waterfront management that Ft Myers Beach and Marathon are. Thank you for your 'Yes' vote.

Sometimes you have to set aside your personal preferences for the good of the community.

The mooring field project is such an instance. It has the potential to revitalize the waterfront and bring many more folks to Gulfport businesses.

It is inconceivable to me that any citizen or government leader could oppose something that has such great potential to improve their city.
