Well just to let you know a little about my family before I get started. They have been on Marco since it was put on the map. My grandfather helped build this mosquito infested swamp that most of you tourist consider a paradise now. Now for the fun part. It drives me nuts that people complain about these evil godforsaken gill netters. Don't you people understand they were just trying to make a living and it was taken from them. Unfortunately if you live here for three months out of the year then you can vote on things like this and the locals don't have a chance. So think next time something like this happens that it could be your children not having a Christmas because your lively hood was taken and thats all you ever knew. The "GILL NETTERS" care about the water just as much as everyone else.
Thanks,
Dylan
