SUMMARY:Volunteers needed for oyster shell bar projects at MacDill
DESCRIPTION:Tampa Bay Watch is suspending all scheduled volunteer projects\, environmental education field trips\, and special events at least through the month of April since our number one priority is the health and safety of our supporters\, volunteers\, and staff. We will continue to monitor and reassess the situation with hopes of resuming our programs in May. Please check our website for further updates. \nClick here to read a statement from Peter Clark\, our President and Founder\, on Tampa Bay Watch’s response to the Coronavirus. \nHelping hands are needed to assist in building a series of oyster shell bars at MacDill AFB on the mornings of March 5\, 6\, 19\, & 20. The project involves shoveling fossilized shell into mesh bags and transporting the bags to the shoreline. It is pretty physical labor with oyster shell bags weighing around 30 pounds each. The goal is to restore lost habitat systems to the bay\, prevent further erosion of the shoreline and improve water quality through natural biological filtration.\n\nThe deadline for volunteer registration is one week prior to the project to allow time for security clearance\, so you’ll be pre-approved for entry.\n\nClick a date below to register as a volunteer for this event:\n\nMarch 5\, March 6\, March 19\, and March 20

SUMMARY:Archaeology of the Anclote River Region
DESCRIPTION:Archaeology Talk: \nInvestigations into the Archaeology of the Anclote River Region \nInvestigations into the Archaeology of the Anclote River Region \nPhyllis E. Kolianos\, M.A.\, RPA\nAlliance for Weedon Island Archaeological Research and Education\, Inc. \nWithin Central Peninsula Gulf Coast\, the archaeology of the Anclote River is understudied and underreported relative to other population centers. In the late 1800s\, S. T. Walker and F. H. Cushing noted the importance of the mounds and pre-Columbian sites on the banks of the river\, and both investigated the Safford (Ormond) Mound\, 8PI3\, near the upstream riverine system\, a reused burial mound dating over 1\,500 years. Almost 20 years of investigations into the archaeology of the Anclote River region reveal some important results that support recent research at other major sites and suggest shifting population settlements and sea-level change. \nPhyllis received her BA and MA degrees from the University of South Florida in Applied Anthropology\, and in 2009 received the Distinguished Alumni Award from the USF\, Department of Anthropology. In her past position with Pinellas County\, she supported the archaeological programs and activities at Weedon Island Preserve and was instrumental in the establishment of the Alliance for Weedon Island Archaeological Research and Education\, Inc. (AWIARE) and their research station at the Preserve. Kolianos has worked for many years with the investigation and recording of area sites\, and has been active with public archaeology projects\, grants\, and archaeological research projects involving Weedon Island’s cultural resources and other lands within Pinellas County. Her most recent and on-going project is the archaeology of the Anclote River region. \nRegistration: https://www.eventbrite.com/o/weedon-island-preserve-cultural-and-natural-history-center-1250121017
