Pete Gallagher's interview with Tonya Wiley Saturday was just one of his provocative ongoing commentary and interviews on environmental action in our community and Florida! This is the amazing tale of the life and death of a giant – critically endangered --Smalltooth sawfish that was found swimming, oddly, in the waters off Bay Pines recently – furthest north this species of fish has ever been seen!  The fish succumbed to a mysterious “circular swimming” disease that is affecting, not only the Smalltooth sawfish, but also tarpon, grouper and many other Florida Gulf fish – alarming fishermen, wildlife biologists and scientists across Florida. She joined singer/songwriters Zeta the Babe & "Betty," her sax, and Tom “Skid Row” Scudiero.  The Florida Folk Show airs Saturdays 10am live on 96.7 FM RadioStPete.  #floridafolkshow #sawfishreovery #tonyawiley  #environment #petegallagher #marinelife #ffseco
