Drawing on plaster. At the beginning of European history in Florida mangroves were not seen favorably. They inhibit land development. Capitalist are interested in money, with the environment just getting in the nasty way. That muck and rotting vegetation at the tangled roots stinks. How can there be such beauty in Florida and such a stench around those mangroves? Waterfront property is the most valuable kind. Out with the mangroves! Plumes, alligators, bobcat and panther hides were all put on this earth for human consumption, correct?
