Description
For over 400 years, the Tampa Bay area of Florida has attracted a wide variety of visitors to its shores. Some of the first were the Tocobaga Indians, who enjoyed the bounty of the harvest from Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. The savory clams, oysters, conchs, whelks, and fish taken from the pristine waters must have been delightful as well as plentiful. But eventually all good things must come to an end, and unfortunately, their paradise was spoiled with the coming of the first white man.
