                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 25, 2020

  Mr. ROONEY of Florida. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate my 
friend, and long-time Southwest Florida environmental Advocate Rae Ann 
Wessel on her retirement today from the Sanibel Captiva Conservation 
Foundation.
   Over the course of her entire career, and especially during her 14 
year tenure at the SCCF, Rae Ann has worked tirelessly for the 
ecosystems of southwest Florida and was major advocate for clean water 
after the harmful Blue Green Algae Blooms ravaged the precious marine 
ecosystems, estuaries, and fisheries of the Southwest Florida 
coastline, as well as being a major factor in restoring Southwest 
Florida's natural wetlands.
   On behalf of myself and the citizens of the Florida 19th 
Congressional District, and the rest of the Southwest Florida 
community, we are extremely grateful for the tireless, and resolute 
work Rae Ann has done to clean up the Environment of not only Southwest 
Florida, but of the entire State of Florida.
   I thank Rae, and we wish her a long, joyful, and blessed retirement.
