The history of our native Calusa is fascinating. We teach this on our Kayak Tours.

"This is a remarkable example of a palm fiber fishing net from the Key Marco site, excavated by Frank Cushing in 1896. It’s well over 1,000 years old, yet you can still see the knots in the net and tell how they were tied," said archaeologist Bill Marquardt. "The coastal Indians of Southwest Florida depended on nets for their daily food and they used a variety of nets with different sized openings to catch different sizes of fish."
