If all theme parks left Florida, what buisness would the state rely on next to fill the money loss?

[jalapeno_pretzel]

As people move due to the complexities of saltwater aquifer intrusion, coastal erosion, rising seawater temps, increasing hurricane costs, and the rising cost of insurance, they could gradually re-wild the state and turn it largely into protected wildlife habitat, and become global leaders in ecosystem protection, biodiversity, and endangered and threatened species preservation.

I mean, they certainly could. But before all the people left, they would first have to get rid of the current governor and the entire state legislature.

It's almost like people don't know what is happening in Florida.

The original post’s question makes about as much sense as asking if the moon were made of cheese, who much fondue could mankind consume? All theme parks will never leave Florida.

Not true. Theme parks might not be a thing in 50 years. If so, what then?

I prefer my moon cheese to be stringy and Central Florida to go with my earlier idea on PrisonWorld(tm)

Yes! Just like this but on an even larger scale, and maybe without allowing farming and ranching to continue in the conservation area.

Agree. I'd probably eat moon cheese on crackers (assuming it's got a mild flavor), but I'm not much for fondue, so I think I could be left out of the calculation on how much fondue humans would consume.

Maybe they could create and sell curricula.

Do people actually eat alligator and snake meat or is that just a myth?

I haven't had snake meat, but alligator is pretty popular in Florida. And they're not lying, it really does taste like chicken lol

Slap “Organic” on it and it will sell like hotcakes Edit: and throw in some of that moon cheese and we have a billion dollar idea here!

Depends on where you’re looking at. Widely publicized reports of 100+ degree water were from a sensor in Manatee bay - different conditions from ocean temps.

DisneyOma asked how the water temp was around 'my area' and that is the info I gave them. I cannot answer about Manatee Bay

But 1 degree above normal for ocean temps is a pretty big difference. Not enough to directly kill most marine life, but enough to shift their patterns, increase algae growth, and affect non-mobile life (coral bleaching).

A couple degrees up or down is pretty standard in our area depending on the summer. With how hot it's been the last few weeks, I am pleasantly surprised that the water temp is right around the average.

Hope it doesn’t get worse, but it seems the signs are not positive.

Here is a pic from menu at one of the restaurants around us.

The Salty Dog in Hilton Head serves alligator. Also Walk-On’s throughout the south.

I’ve had alligator bites in Orlando when I was there for a trade show for work. It kind of does taste like chicken. Never had snake meat or the desire to try it.

Many theme/amusement parks have come and gone in Florida.

I like the idea of Prison World surrounded by organic alligator farms.

tried alligator but it was like rubbery chicken-not a fan (this was at a chain restaurant that carried it all the time). much prefer ostrich-one of the best burgar meats.
