Photo by @CarltonWard | The corner of the northern Gulf of Mexico where Hurricane Michael made landfall is known as the Forgotten Coast. My prayers are with the people, many of whom lost their homes and businesses to tornado strength winds and tremendous storm surge. I’m thinking about towns like Apalachicola, where 80 percent of households depend upon Gulf fisheries for their livelihoods, and remembering my time there during the last Florida Wildlife Corridor Expedition. In this photo, third generation Apalachicola Kendall oysterman Schoelles tongs for oysters in St Vincent Sound where one million acres of contiguous protected land extend north from the coast, providing crucial wildlife habitat while helping ensure the health of the estuary downstream. Oysters filter the bay to clean the water. In that way, Kendall and oyster men and women like him are protecting the Gulf for all of us, especially as they plant new oyster beds that also help buffer the coast against storms. I trust Kendall has weathered this hurricane. He and his family have weathered storms on the Gulf for more than a century. Hopefully he will be tonging for oysters and caring for the bay again soon. Maybe there will be a silver lining and the hurricane will have dissipated the red tide that has been plaguing the Gulf this summer, arguably exacerbated by pollution from millions of coastal residence who don't live in balance with the ecosystem the way Kendall does. But the Gulf is resilient and balance and sustainability are possible if we all pay attention and do our part. Long live the Forgotten Coast. #GulfofMexico #ForgottenCoast #FloridaWild @FL_WildCorridor @Nature_org #KeepFLWild @SeaLegacy #TurntheTide @natgeoimagecollection
