    This might be of relevant interest to Floridians, but then maybe not. Am posting as an FYI:

    Do you know...is there a problem? Do we have people just diving in and trimming mangroves that are not right on their own shoreline? I'm just glad we don't have any but you can trim to protect your own riparian view. I guess I don't grasp that people would be going into the mangrove areas and starting to trim. Someone in my presence is giggling at the position of Professional Mangrove Trimmer a bit, but I see why knowledge would be needed. I guess I'm just curious as to what suddenly led them to put on the seminar regarding a law that was passed 19 years ago.

    Thanks for informing us though and you did make us curious.
