SUMMARY:The Manasota Beach Club Monday Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nIn 2017\, Sarasota Bay Watch started a shellfish restoration initiative focused on the southern hard-shell clam (Mereneriacampechiensis). The southern hard-shell clam was once abundant in Sarasota Bay\, but today populations have dwindled to just a few locations. A single clam can filter 20 gallons of water per day. The bivalves\, along with other filter feeders\, are crucial to the Sarasota base ecosystem and water quality. \nDr. Lasso de la Vega serves as a board member and advisor to Sarasota Bay Watch\, an action-oriented grassroots\, non-profit organization dedicated to restoring coastal ecosystems through citizen participation. Sarasota Bay Watch is committed to bringing the population up by deploying more than a million clams in 2023 in restoration cells throughout the Bay. Dr. Lasso de la Vega\, holds a master’s degree in aquaculture and worked closely with Lee County Hyacinth Control District in Fort Myers FL for 30 years controlling aquatic weeds and monitoring water quality as a biologist. \n\nDr. Lasso de la Vega also holds a research doctorate in environmental education and is dedicated to teaching environmental science\, biology\, and microbiology at Southwest Florida Universities. Dr. Lasso de la Vega actively serves as a member of the Florida Sea Grant Advisory Board\, the Coastland Heartland National Estuary Partnership Technical and Citizen Committee\, and the Florida Lake Management Society. LBC members are invited to enjoy lunch and attend this upcoming lecture at the Manasota Beach Club on Monday February 19\, 2024\, by calling 941-474-2614 to reserve a spot. Tickets are $35 and includes a gourmet lunch.

SUMMARY:Eyes on Seagrass
DESCRIPTION:LEMON BAYWATCH\nUF/IFAS Extension SEA GRANT Program Eyes On Seagrass \nInvites You To\nBecome a citizen Scientist for a Day! \n9:00 – 11:00 a.m.\nSaturday\, April 13\, 2024\nCedar Point Environmental Center\n2300 Placida Rd.\, Englewood\, FL 34224 \n  \nSea grass is essential for a healthy marine environment.  It is the food source and habitat for many species of fish\, shellfish and marine animals; it enhances water clarity\, stabilizes shorelines and helps to sequester carbon and nitrogen. \nIn recent years\, there has been a significant die-off of seagrass in Charlotte Harbor and certain areas of Lemon Bay. This is primarily due to rapid algae growth that robs seagrass of adequate sunlight necessary for healthy growth. The health and habitat of hundreds of species has suffered as a result. \nEyes on Seagrass is a citizen science program developed by UF/IF Sea Grant that trains volunteers to monitor seagrass using carefully developed scientific protocols. Citizen scientists collect data on seagrass health\, sediment\, algae presence\, and water quality at numerous sites in Lemon Bay and Charlotte Harbor.  The data collected by citizen volunteers provides important information for scientists to better manage water resources and guide conservation management policy. \nThe Lemon BayWatch team invites you to a live demonstration of seagrass monitoring on  Saturday\, April 13th at Cedar Point Environmental Center.  Come see what citizen scientists can do to make an important difference in our environment! \nJOIN US!  Advance registration is required.  Register by clicking on this link:https://ufl.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0uLUpAoLPbH0h26 \nTo learn more about the Eyes on Sea Grass program\, including upcoming sampling dates\, follow-on this link: \nhttps://sfyl.ifas.ufl.edu/charlotte/sea-grant/eyes-on-seagrass/
