Anna Maria Adventure | HUGE SURPRISE | Tons of Sea Life!

Hey everyone and welcome to the channel! We now live close to Anna Maria Island and figured I'd go chase some sea life with the drone this morning. What a treat I stumped upon & a beautiful surprise with the sea life there.
Please stick around as I'll be uploading more video content of locations around Florida :)

For those interested in the boat harassing the rays. I have reported this to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission . I couldn't get a great view of the tag on the boat but I do hope the boaters will be found. Thanks for watching the video.

[@MsGhurd]

Thank you...that was a great concern of mine.

[@sherryboland6154]

That was awesome! Too bad the boater felt the need to plow through the middle of them. Hope he didn't hit any of them. But to see that many rays was incredible! Thanks for sharing!

[@justinnadeau]

Thank you soo much :) I reported the boaters to the proper authorities.

[@bryonyking1]

Beautiful video! Pity about the idiot in the boat. So disrespectful.

[@justinnadeau]

Thanks soo much 🙏🙌 Ohh yeah that boater knew what they were doing and it was wrong. 😑

[@VincentWYedlin]

Boater should be arrested.

[@DashdownMusic]

how cool!!! Bean Point!!!

[@justinnadeau]

Great spot! Very well known for Tarpon fishing too.

[@Roswell01Area51]

A Rays vs. Marlins World Series would cause another aggressive encounter!

[@johnroy9654]

that is SEVERAL thousand sting rays. No wonder restaurants love to sell "Scallops - Monterey"

[@carolyn_s]

That was an unbelieve sight to see!! It must be mating season for them. Do you know what kind of shark that was?

[@justinnadeau]

Thank you Carolyn! I wish I did, it’s hard for me to know the exact species of sharks. Could be al bull shark but someone can fix me if I’m wrong 😂

[@bryonyking1]

Beautiful video! Pity about the idiot in the boat. So disrespectful.

[@whatcameradoyouhave]

great shots! what an encounter 🤯

[@justinnadeau]

Thanks my brotha 🙌 Such a cool experience 🙏

[@lauradalessio1824]

Amazing!! The rays- beautiful!! Thanks for the view!!

[@justinnadeau]

Thanks soo much! Glad I could capture it all on the drone 🙏

[@early419]

absolutely beautiful sight!

[@justinnadeau]

I was lucky to be there at a really good time 🍀

[@PapaElegua]

I’ve seen schools of those spotted Eagle rays over here on the East Coast before when I was out surfing. It’s a pretty amazing sight when you see the white flashes as their wings tip up and they swim past. Cool video!!

[@justinnadeau]

That would be cool to see while surfing. They have super bright belly’s! Thanks for watching 🙏🙌

[@kaybrewer268]

The boater that thought it was cool to kill rays with his boat while he sported around in the them should’ve been shot out of the water. Then FWC should’ve arrested his stupid ass or what was left of it. Did my droner try to get his license number from the side of the boat?

[@justinnadeau]

Hi Kay. Thanks for your comment. I did report the boater to FWC with as much information as I could. I zoomed in trying to get the tag so I hope this helps them find out who did this.

[@obewan2010]

Yup , a Nat Geo moment ! Thanks Justin !

[@justinnadeau]

Thanks for watching 🙌🙌

[@johnroy9654]

Hundred thousand stingrays, and that shark could not get one! That shark needs to go to McDonald's for a filet-o-fish.

[@justinnadeau]

HAHAHHA horrible hunter! McDonald's might be the best bet for him.

[@moi01887]

Someone should fillet the guy piloting that boat.

[@wendycain7225]

Do you know if the shark managed to catch a ray?

[@moi01887]

@@wendycain7225 The vide states that it didn't.

[@wendycain7225]

@@moi01887 Oh sorry, I didn't watch or read the comments properly. What an amazing place you live in! Thanks for sharing

[@nancyhebert9042]

Amazing video you have here!!

[@justinnadeau]

Thanks soo much Nancy :)

[@Tinapal-r5s]

OGM. That was absolutely breath-taking to watch. As for the boater, there are JERKS everywhere. I hope they find them.

[@justinnadeau]

Thanks soo much! Had a great time filing this video. Hopefully, one’s internet the future will have great views as well. I hope soo too 🤞

[@cynthiamariastriker5203]

Thank God you reported them that was bull crap they needed to be reported they need to go to jail that is just wrong for doing that.

[@vanessaiannetta938]

So swimmers need to extra careful this time of year not to step on one while walking into water? That's a lot of stingrays!!!! wow.

[@justinnadeau]

Always on a lookout but they move pretty quickly. They don’t get close to the swimmers at all, at least this group didn’t.
