FLORIDA WILDLIFE FEDERATION, and Friends of Matanzas, Inc., Appellants, v. ST. JOHNS COUNTY, Florida, and State of Florida, Department of Community Affairs, Appellees.
    No. 1D04-3511.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
    July 18, 2005.
    Rehearing Denied Sept. 1, 2005.
    Thomas W. Reese, St. Petersburg, for Appellants.
    Marcia Parker Tjoflat, of Pappas Met-calf Jenks & Miller, P.A., Jacksonville; Geoffrey B. Dobson, Dobson & Brown, P.A., St. Augustine; Debra A. Swim, Tallahassee; Shaw P. Stiller, Department of Community Affairs, Tallahassee; and Isabelle Christine Lopez, St. Johns County, St. Augustine, for Appellees.
   PER CURIAM.

The appellants have not demonstrated that their business interests are “adversely affected” by the challenged order, so as to give them standing to appeal. See Melzer v. Florida Department of Community Affairs, 881 So.2d 623 (Fla. 4th DCA 2004); O’Connel v. Florida Department of Community Affairs, 874 So.2d 673 (Fla. 4th DCA 2004). The appeal is therefore DISMISSED.

BARFIELD and HAWKES, JJ., concur; BENTON, J., dissents.
