Sanibel Journal
Show notes for a podcast about Sanibel Island's rebuilding after Hurricane Ian.

This is a conversation I recorded today with State Rep. Adam Botana, R-District 80, about the bill he has drafted to create a Captiva Island Conservation Area. His comments are timely, because the Lee County Commissioners will discuss proposed land use changes for Captiva at their meeting tomorrow (Dec. 6) at 9:30 a.m.

City officials, residents, and Sanibel lovers from all over gathered at the foot of the iconic Sanibel Lighthouse before dawn this morning for the re-lighting of the lighthouse, which was battered by Hurricane Ian but was still standing after the storm.

It's taken five months for the official return of the rhythmic light atop the lighthouse, built in 1884.
