Brew at the Zoo is back, and this year Naples Zoo and Riptide Brewery have a specific focus: saving scientific data.
This year’s event is a bit modified from previous years as money raised will help replace seven trail cameras stolen earlier this year from the Big Cypress National Preserve.
“Generally what we’ve done is raise money that went to the zoo that was earmarked for panther conservation,” Riptide General Manager and Beertender Chris Johnson said. “This year we decided to opt to replace the cameras. The data that has been lost really causes an issue with research on the neurological issue that the panthers are having trouble with.”

Companion bills in the Florida house and senate are leading some environmental groups to worry it might mean more oil drilling in sensitive lands and create a burden on local governments.
The bills, titled Relief from Burdens on Real Property Rights, are written to explicitly add subsurface mineral rights, such as underground oil and gas, into definitions found within the Bert Harris Act, which protects private property rights.
Language in the bills would also further define what government actions could affect property rights under the act.
Sen. Ray Rodrigues (R-Lee County) said the idea for this bill has been on his mind since his time in the state’s house of representatives.
