Protesters fight back against Mickler's Landing closure
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. - A group of protesters is expected to voice its concerns Tuesday morning during a St. Johns County Commission meeting because of a restoration program at Mickler's Landing. Mickler's Landing is closed on weekdays through February 2020. According to the commissioners, the project forcing the beach closure includes new restrooms, showers and changing rooms at the beachfront park. However, community members say the closure is not only for these improvements. More than 5,500 people have signed the petition against the geotubes, which some say could endanger sea turtles.
