Four County Beaches Awarded National Blue Wave Certification .......
Siesta, Lido, Venice and Caspersen beaches were all recognized by the national Clean Beaches Council as Blue Wave Beaches for the 2007-2008 season because they meet rigorous standards for sustainable management of beach resources and amenities.
Among the criteria the council considers for certifying a site as a Blue Wave Beach are water quality, beach and inter-tidal conditions, habitat conservation, public information and education and erosion management.
Since 2003, Siesta and Venice beaches have been certified through the Blue Wave Campaign.
In 2004 Caspersen Beach was certified, followed by Lido Beach in 2005.

Siesta Key Farmers Market

SRQ TALK.........

"I want to have something that's got an old-school Siesta Key feel." --Siesta Key resident and business owner Bryan Eible. Eible is launching "Don't Panic. It's Organic," a Sunday-morning farmer's market in the Siesta Key Village.

Old School Siesta Has a Farmer's Market (With Organic Produce Here, and Natural Products There) It's getting harder and harder to think of an excuse for missing a local farmer's market, especially now that Siesta Key is going to host its own market on Sunday mornings.Foxy Lady owner Bryan Eible is spearheading the efforts to start a market in the Siesta Key Village area from 6 to 10am every Sunday with organic foods and natural products.Eible has the go-ahead from the Siesta Key Village Association, and he hopes to hold the first market in July. Eible, who grew up on Siesta, said he wants to bring the key back to its roots. "When I moved here, in 1972, Siesta Key was all about the environment and hippies. It was groovy," he said. "Now it's kind of turned into a bar scene. I want to give the locals a reason to come to the village."
