And what impact will a mansion or 6 on the bluff top at Naples have on the reef? Let's connect the dots while we are at it.

On Preservation Paddle Out For Naples Reef

EXCUSE ME, but I think Guner Tautrim, a sixth generation Gaviota Coast farmer is the real visionary here.
He's a very positive guy who believes we need to look at new ways to keep farming and ranching viable in this area.
As far as I can tell, Mr. Tautrim is not in favor of allowing Orange County-style subdivisions and he IS very interested in education us non-farmers about the challenges he and others face. If I am intrepreting correctly from my conversation with him, Guner believes that things MUST change on the Gaviota Coast and that we must keep these changes scaled down to an appropriate size to fit the character of the existing area. How to define "appropriate size" appears to be the real question.
I would like to hear more from Mr Tautrim rather than from the angry guy above.
I'm in favor of preserving small scale farming and ranching,
recreation, biodiversity and open space on the Gaviota Coast.
