We will be discussing ——The Swamp, The Everglades, Florida and the Politics of Paradise by Michael Grunwald

The Everglades was once reviled as a liquid wasteland, and Americans dreamed of draining it. Now it is revered as a national treasure, and Americans have launched the largest environmental project in history to try to save it.

The Swamp is the stunning story of the destruction and possible resurrection of the Everglades, the saga of man's abuse of nature in southern Florida, and his unprecedented efforts to make amends. Michael Grunwald, a prize-winning national reporter for The Washington Post, takes readers on a riveting journey from the Ice Ages to the present, illuminating the natural, social and political history of one of America's most beguiling but least understood patches of land.

Join us for a Holiday Leisure Lunch!

Time: Noon

Restaurant: Blue Giraffe

Address: 2075 Periwinkle Way, Sanibel

This is one of our most popular monthly activities. A group of us gather monthly for lunch and friendship at one of Sanibel’s or Captiva’s fine restaurants. We have never met a stranger. These lunches are warm and welcoming, and a great place to visit and get to know each other. Everyone orders from the menu and pays for their own meal.

RSVP by 11/18/25 by calling Erika Arnowitz at (239) 472-4775, ext. 107 or emailing her at erika@fishofsancap.org. Seating is limited so be sure to make your reservation early!

Hope to see you there!
