Fifteen thousand years ago, when humans first settled in Florida , the Gulf of Mexico was one hundred miles further to the west. In this era, hunting and gathering was the primary means of subsistence. This could only take place in areas where water sources existed for hunter and prey alike. Deep springs and catchment basins, such as Warm Mineral Springs, were close enough to the Sarasota area to provide camp sites, but too far away for permanent settlements. As the Pleistocene glaciers began to melt, a more temperate climate began advanced southward. Sea levels began rising; they ultimately rose another three hundred fifty feet, resulting in the Florida shoreline of today. Sarasota is the home of Florida West Coast Symphony, founded by Ruth Cotton Butler in nineteen forty-nine, and its Sarasota Music Festival which draws students, musicians, professors, and lovers of chamber music from around the world for a three-week event; Sarasota Ballet; Sarasota Opera; Florida Studio Theater, The Sarasota Players; and other musical, dance, artistic, and theatrical venues. Sarasota is home to Mote Marine Laboratory, a marine rescue, research, and aquarium; Marie Selby Botanical Gardens; G-Wiz Museum , a science museum; Sarasota Jungle Gardens , which carries on early tourist attraction traditions; as well as many historic sites and neighborhoods. Colleges in Sarasota include New College of Florida, a public liberal arts college; Keiser College of Sarasota, a private college; Ringling College of Art and Design, a school of visual arts and design; and a satellite campus of both Eckerd College and University of South Florida . Community colleges include Sarasota County Technical Institute and Manatee Community College . Sarasota also is home to Ed Smith Stadium, where the Cincinnati Reds, Cincinnati 's major league baseball MLB team, trains in spring for the upcoming season, and is home to the minor league Sarasota Reds. Before nineteen ninety-seven, the city had a long association with the Chicago White Sox; both through spring training and through Sarasota 's minor-league team, which was once known as the Sarasota White Sox. This predates the construction of Ed Smith Stadium in nineteen eighty-nine.
