SUMMARY:ONLINE BOATING SAFETY CLASSES
DESCRIPTION:CLEARWATER COAST GUARD AUXILIARY TEACHING BOATING SAFETY CLASSES ONLINE \nA New Way to Learn … A New Crop of Safe Boaters \nWith the advent of COVID-19\, the Coast Guard Auxiliary was advised to discontinue in-person classes for the safety of the instructors and students. The good news is that the State of Florida (FWC) and the National Association of Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA) have approved the Coast Guard Auxiliary to conduct online classes. \nThese classes are not your standard webinar sessions where the students sit at their computers and are lectured at. And they’re not animated cartoon sessions where you have to keep pressing enter to get to the next topic. \nThe Clearwater Coast Guard Auxiliary is offering “Boat America” taught by certified instructors. The next evening classes will be on four consecutive evenings on September 21\, 22\, 23 and 24 from 7pm to about 9pm.. Classes are $40 per student and include the books\, supplemental materials and course completion certificates. \nThe classes being offered by the Clearwater Coast Guard Auxiliary are conducted on Zoom with the same instructors they would have had in the classroom and includes lots of questions and answers. In addition\, because they’re on the Internet\, there’s no commuting to a classroom – the students can be anywhere in Florida! \nThe boating safety class is also a requirement for many boaters in Florida. In the Sunshine State\, anyone born after Jan. 1\, 1988\, must successfully complete a boater safety course approved by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) in order to operate any boat powered by more than 10 horsepower\, and they are required to carry their boater education card with them when out on the water along with picture ID. \nNinety members of the boating public graduated with honors from the first three boating safety classes conducted online. The instructor certified members of the Clearwater Coast Guard Auxiliary presented their Boating Safety courses online over four sessions on Zoom.  \nContact the Coast Guard Auxiliary\, Clearwater Flotilla\, for boating safety classes at: www.clwboatingsafety.com or by email at clwtr.auxboating@gmail.com or call 727-469-8895. Also\, on Facebook at #clearwatercgaux. \nThe U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary is a uniformed civilian volunteer component of the United States Coast Guard created by an Act of Congress in 1939. The Auxiliary\, America’s Volunteer Guardians\, supports the Coast Guard in nearly all of the service’s missions

SUMMARY:29th Annual Fishing Line Island Cleanup
DESCRIPTION:Join Tampa Bay Watch and Audubon Florida for the 29th Annual Fishing Line Island Cleanup. \nThe goal is to remove hazardous monofilament line from mangrove shorelines. Monofilament or “mono\,” is a fancy word for the commonly used plastic fishing line. It has great fishing utility\, but can take over 600 years to break down and poses serious threats to birds and other wildlife. Improperly discarded mono and fishing gear leads to wildlife entanglement\, accidental hooks\, and ingestion. \nThis will be a self-led event\, where participants will travel out to their designated location by personal boat/other watercraft any day between October 15-23 to target shorelines where cast line has been caught in the tree line. Volunteers will compile the recovered monofilament\, to be collected\, cleaned\, and recycled. \nThere are a variety of sites in which to participate—all critical bird nesting habitat—throughout Pinellas\, Hillsborough\, and Manatee. \n\nClick here to register to volunteer for this event.

SUMMARY:29th Annual Fishing Line Island Cleanup
DESCRIPTION:Join Tampa Bay Watch and Audubon Florida for the 29th Annual Fishing Line Island Cleanup. \nThe goal is to remove hazardous monofilament line from mangrove shorelines. Monofilament or “mono\,” is a fancy word for the commonly used plastic fishing line. It has great fishing utility\, but can take over 600 years to break down and poses serious threats to birds and other wildlife. Improperly discarded mono and fishing gear leads to wildlife entanglement\, accidental hooks\, and ingestion. \nThis will be a self-led event\, where participants will travel out to their designated location by personal boat/other watercraft any day between October 15-23 to target shorelines where cast line has been caught in the tree line. Volunteers will compile the recovered monofilament\, to be collected\, cleaned\, and recycled. \nThere are a variety of sites in which to participate—all critical bird nesting habitat—throughout Pinellas\, Hillsborough\, and Manatee. \n\nClick here to register to volunteer for this event.

SUMMARY:Red Tide Demise: Mitigation Initiative Update
DESCRIPTION:Mote Associate Vice President for Research\, Dr. Richard Pierce\, also serving as the Program Manager for Ecotoxicology Research\, joined Mote in 1981 as a Senior Scientist\, developing a research program focusing on the source\, fate and effects of toxic chemicals in the marine environment. With more than 75 published manuscripts and lectures nationally and internationally on his research\, Pierce and Dr. Cynthia Heil\, a Senior Scientist and Director of Mote’s Red Tide Institute will lead a lecture on Jan. 23. Heil\, who has more than 25 years of experience with the science and management of marine and freshwater harmful algae bloom species\, focuses on monitoring and mitigating Florida red tide along with the ecology and management of marine and freshwater HABs\, nutrients and water quality. \nTheir lecture on Florida red tide will explain its severe negative impacts on the environment\, economies and human health along Florida’s west coast\, along with the Florida Red Tide Mitigation & Technology Development Initiative put in place to combat it. The Initiative\, a result of the severe 2017-2019 red tide\, provides funding for Mote scientists to partner with other institutions and companies to conduct extensive laboratory and field research on the efficacy of a variety of potential products and technologies to mitigate the adverse effects of red tide. \nMote Members also receive discounted admission to the event.\nTickets are on sale now at mote.org/lecture.

SUMMARY:FAM Archaeology Kayak Experience
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an archaeology-focused paddle trip to an excavation site at the Weedon Island Preserve. \n\n\n\nJoin archaeologists and environmental specialists for a unique archaeology-focused paddling event. This is a one-of-a-kind event\, featuring local experts who will guide your experience of the natural and cultural history of Weedon Island.  \nThe trip begins with a paddle from Weedon Island’s fishing pier to Ross Island\, a nearby island within the Preserve’s boundary. On Ross Island\, participants will explore an archaeological site with Kendal Jackson\, a PhD candidate with the University of South Florida who works on Ross Island as part of his doctorate research. \nThis trip will be led by Rachael Kangas\, Director of the West Central division of The Florida Public Archaeology Network (FPAN)\, and Dr. Bob Austin with the Alliance for Weedon Island Archaeological Research and Education\, Inc. (AWIARE). They will make stops along the way to discuss archaeological and historical aspects of the area. In addition\, environmental specialists from ECOmersion will be on the water to interpret the Preserve’s natural areas and enhance participants’ understanding of estuaries. \n\nParticipants must be 18 years of age or older. Kayaks will be provided by ECOmersion. Those who prefer to use their own kayaks are welcome to do so\, however\, neither Sun Dolphin nor Pelican brand kayaks will be allowed.\nAttendees will meet at 7:30 a.m. at the fishing pier/kayak launch located inside the Weedon Island Preserve. This kayak trip will be moderately strenuous and is not recommended for first-time paddlers.\n\nProceeds from this program go to support ECOmersion\, AWIARE and FPAN \n>>> REGISTER HERE <<<
