The largest open water estuary in Florida, Tampa Bay has been a flashpoint of environmental struggles and action in recent years.
In Tampa Bay, Evan Bennett reveals that humans have been part of the bay’s ecology since the estuary took its modern form 2,000 years ago, along with the communities of fish, birds, reptiles, and mammals that proliferated in its seagrass meadows, tidal salt flats, and mangrove forests.
Bennett discusses the natural resources that drew people to settle there, the trade that encouraged development, and the shipping and industry that increased biological and ecological change.
Tombolo Books is thrilled to welcome Evan P. Bennett and Gary Mormino to discuss how Bennett’s latest ecological history deep-dive uncovers deep-rooted relationships between water, land, and people and offers hope for bringing threatened coastal spaces back from the brink.
