The Army Corps of Engineers would have you believe the erosion problems on Lido Key stem from actions of John Ringling. Not buying it. Ringling connected the Cerol Isles, but it was still just sand and responded to natural forces.
The Corps never mentions the decisions that were made to allow the construction of buildings out into what was open beach or open water in 1948.
