Not only is climate change adversely impacting those of us on land, it's warming waters around Florida taking a toll on marine life.
Our guest this episode is Kevin Sheilley, president and CEO of the Ocala Metro Chamber and Economic Partnership. Ocala is "the Horse Capitol of the World." Kevin explains how the city earned that moniker, when Florida became a horse destination, and we discuss the jewel in Ocala's horse crown, the World Equestrian Center.
World Equestrian Center offers a non-stop schedule of free horse competitions and events open to the public. If you're interested in visiting Ocala and Marion County to explore Florida Horse Country, start your planning here.
Former "Welcome to Florida" guest and best-selling author Jeff VanderMeer wrote a magnificent and thorough article for TIME magazine detailing the variety of environmental calamities in Florida and Ron DeSantis' complicity in exacerbating them.
"Welcome to Florida" is sponsored by WindstormProducts.com, the world's largest online retailer of hurricane hardware.
