There are plenty being raised in Cayman...
My family has been in Walton County since at least the 1700's. I haven't been to the beach in years tho.
Absolutely true.
The thing that really aggravated me about the airport expansion was the tons of debris (cement. rocks, dirt etc) that was hauled out to the Altamont dump site (~25 miles each way) for disposal. Then they applied for an airport runway expansion, which would mean filling in part of the bay.

Soup anyone?
It was a San Francisco Garter snake, which is an endangered species. The major difference between it and a common garter snake is a red stripe and it is slightly smaller. If it disappears from the planet, there are millions of common garter snakes that will fill it's place in the food chain. Tree-humping-bunny-huggers pi$$ me off.
They can use the turtle shells as a nice helmet...maybe it'd keep the sun from BLEACHING THEIR BRAINS!
This is me on the S. Walton County beaches, taken around 1974.
No wonder it's endangered. It's probably gay.
Nice beach.
I've got a really good recipe that I've never been able to use...
