Turtle nests delay temporary fix to Manasota Key Road
The Brief Hurricanes Helene and Milton washed away a section of Manasota Key Road in Sarasota County. The Manasota Key Association says a temporary road repair has been halted due to turtle nests. Sarasota County is working on a long-term fix after the road has been washed away several times over the years. SARASOTA COUNTY, Fla. - Eight months later, the debris piles remain along with downed trees and parts of homes that were crumbled by hurricanes Helene and Milton. This is the new normal for those living on Manasota Key in South Sarasota County. Getting on and off the island is a real challenge. These storms washed out a section of road north of Blind Pass Beach. Sarasota County said a temporary repair would be coming soon, but then sea turtles arrived. The Manasota Key Association now says everything is on hold. Residents have concerns about their safety. Big picture view Temporary water lines are exposed to the heat. Road closed signs in the middle section of Manasota Key. They are reminders of the strength of hurricanes Helene and Milton. "It's been very difficult for us and our neighbors," said Carmen Del Valle. Del Valle has lived on the key for 25 years. OTHER NEWS: Florida could see 'dirty rain' as large Saharan dust plume arrives in Southeast this week She and her neighbors have seen the road washed out a number of times over the years. But the Manasota Key Association said it's since been delayed. Neighbors said it's been one thing after the next. "Now we get notifications because of the sea turtle nest they cannot do the temporary road or begin the temporary repair," said Del Valle. In an email, the association said they were informed construction would not begin until 60 days after the last turtle nests appear. They estimate that could be by October. "I've done my research and realized that they can be relocated. There is no reason for the county to not relocate the sea turtle nests so they can proceed with the temporary road. To be able to at least take into consideration that the lives of the residents on this part of the island," said Del Valle. For residents living here, there is only one option on and off the island. "That's very concerning for us because you have to take into consideration that all of us living at this end of the island, the only exit we have is 3 miles away on the north bridge. God forbid we have a fire on the island midway between us and the north bridge, that's the only way we could evacuate. If there's a mechanical issue with that bridge and it goes down what do you do? If it just so happens by coincidence somebody has an emergency and the bridge is down," she said. Why It Matters It's not just the nests, there's also concerns about rubble that sits in place of the road. "If we get another bad hurricane and that debris goes onto our property. Then those of us around this area would have to pay for the cleanup once again, after spending a tremendous amount of money, thousands of dollars to clean up the debris that Helene and Milton left behind," said Del Valle. In a new hurricane season, Del Valle feels this portion of Manasota Key has been left behind. "No matter who you turn to you get an excuse, a story, a delay. It's frustrating and very concerning and also very stressful," she said. The other side In a statement to FOX 13 News, Sarasota County said: "The county has recently become aware of the sea turtle nests and our staff has been coordinating with the appropriate agency to determine next steps for the Manasota Key temporary road." Sarasota County is working on a long-term fix to Manasota Key Road. It could take upwards of four years for the permanent repairs. Sarasota County said the Florida Department of Transportation will cover the large portion of the expense.

EBANX secures In-Principle Approval for Major Payment Institution license from Monetary Authority of Singapore, amplifying global payments reach
The Payment Service Provider strengthens its global operations and accelerates APAC expansion after obtaining In-Principle Approval for a Singapore Major Payment Institution license. The APAC region represents 39% of the fintech's total processed volume SINGAPORE, Feb. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- EBANX, a leading global Payment Service Provider (PSP) specializing in emerging markets, today announced that EBANX Pte. Ltd. has been granted In-Principle Approval for a Major Payment Institution (MPI) license from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS). This license supports two types of payment services in Singapore (namely, cross-border money transfers and merchant acquisition services), enabling EBANX to strengthen its offerings within its global settlement hub, benefiting its network of over 500 global enterprise merchants. The MPI license will also further reinforce EBANX's strong footprint in the Asia-Pacific region. EBANX serves leading enterprise merchants from APAC, with 39% of its total processed volume in 2024 coming from the region. EBANX maintains offices in Shanghai, China, and Singapore, and has recently established payment operations in India. 'Receiving In-Principle Approval for an MPI license in Singapore, one of the most robust ecosystems for international payments, is a testament to EBANX's priority to meet the highest regulatory standards and provide exceptional value to our clients globally, who will now have even more capabilities enabled within our payments services,' said João Del Valle, CEO and Co-founder of EBANX, who was in Singapore last week. EBANX's story in Asia-Pacific dates back to the company's foundation in 2012: the fintech's operational hub has always been in Singapore, and when obtained, the MPI license would replace the current authorisation provided by the MAS for the company's cross-border operations in the country. The In-Principle Approval follows a series of strategic moves by EBANX in Asia, including the partnership with YES BANK and the appointment of a Country Director for its operations in India. 'EBANX has been the payments partner of choice for APAC merchants in emerging economies for 12 years now, supporting their growth through various generations of the Asian e-commerce industry, across multiple markets in Latin America and Africa,' said Del Valle. The successful partnerships continued, going beyond China and beyond online retail. EBANX serves multiple verticals from different Asian countries, and is adding new industries to the portfolio: Australian Canva (SaaS), South Korean Gravity Game Vision (gaming), besides the Chinese giants XTransfer (financial services) and Alibaba (B2B trade) are some examples. Forbes China has also recognized EBANX as one of the 30 pioneering brands in international expansion. 'This moment marks another chapter of EBANX's successful story in the APAC region and a significant step forward in our global expansion strategy. It will build upon our powerful operations in LatAm, Africa, and India and solidify our position as a trusted partner for businesses operating in emerging markets,' Del Valle added. EBANX office in Singapore To further drive strategic growth initiatives in APAC, EBANX is pleased to announce the relocation of Fernanda De Fino, Global Director of Risk and Compliance, to Singapore. In addition to her current global responsibilities, De Fino will also serve as the Executive Director of EBANX in Singapore. This appointment strengthens EBANX's physical footprint in the APAC region, which includes a multi-functional team of 25 in Shanghai. 'Singapore's robust regulatory framework and strategic location make it the ideal hub to connect EBANX's global operations in 29 countries. We are excited to contribute to its leading fintech ecosystem,' said De Fino. The office in Singapore and the executive relocation are statements of EBANX's commitment to APAC, as the company plans to continue expanding its team across the region. About the IPA from MAS An In-Principle Approval (IPA) reflects MAS' view that a license may be issued to the applicant upon the fulfillment of specified conditions and provided there are no material adverse developments affecting the applicant. An IPA does not constitute a license at this juncture. MAS reserves the right to rescind the IPA in circumstances where it considers appropriate.
