The largest open water estuary in Florida, Tampa Bay has been a flashpoint of environmental struggles and action in recent years.

It uncovers deep-rooted relationships between water, land, and people and offers hope for bringing threatened coastal spaces back from the brink.

Evan P. Bennett is associate professor of history at Florida Atlantic University. He is the author of When Tobacco Was King: Families, Farm Labor, and Federal Policy in the Piedmont.

This event is sponsored by the Rothman Family Chair in the Humanities.
