SUMMARY:Lemon BayWatch Oyster Ambassadors
DESCRIPTION:The Lemon BayWatch Team of Lemon Bay Conservancy is pursuing their goal of improving the water quality of Lemon Bay through the use of vertical oyster gardens. \n  \nThe Lemon BayWatch “Oyster Ambassadors” will be on site at WATERWAYS Paddlesports\, 501 W. Dearborn Street\, Englewood\, FL 34223 every Thursday\, beginning January 18\, 2024  through April\, 25\, 2024\, 10:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. to provide oyster information\, answer questions\, and provide free oyster strands to residents who have registered through our site. \nVertical oyster gardens\, also known as VOGs\, are strings of recycled oyster shells collected from local Englewood restaurants.  When suspended in tidal waters\, VOGs provide the ideal habitat for young larval oysters to grow into adult oysters capable of filtering up to 50 gallons of water per day. \nThe vertical oyster garden movement has spread throughout Southwest Florida and has had a positive ecological impact.  Studies have shown that not only do they contribute to water filtration and promote cleaner water for healthy sea grass; they provide habitat for a variety of marine animals and fish. The Lemon BayWatch team is proud to be a part of this water quality initiative that will help to protect and restore the waters of Lemon Bay. \nIf you would like to be part of this important effort to improve the quality of water around your home\, register today by  clicking on this link: LBC Oyster Garden Installation Request

SUMMARY:Lemon BayWatch Oyster Ambassadors
DESCRIPTION:The Lemon BayWatch Team of Lemon Bay Conservancy is pursuing their goal of improving the water quality of Lemon Bay through the use of vertical oyster gardens. \n  \nThe Lemon BayWatch “Oyster Ambassadors” will be on site at WATERWAYS Paddlesports\, 501 W. Dearborn Street\, Englewood\, FL 34223 every Thursday\, beginning January 18\, 2024  through April\, 25\, 2024\, 10:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. to provide oyster information\, answer questions\, and provide free oyster strands to residents who have registered through our site. \nVertical oyster gardens\, also known as VOGs\, are strings of recycled oyster shells collected from local Englewood restaurants.  When suspended in tidal waters\, VOGs provide the ideal habitat for young larval oysters to grow into adult oysters capable of filtering up to 50 gallons of water per day. \nThe vertical oyster garden movement has spread throughout Southwest Florida and has had a positive ecological impact.  Studies have shown that not only do they contribute to water filtration and promote cleaner water for healthy sea grass; they provide habitat for a variety of marine animals and fish. The Lemon BayWatch team is proud to be a part of this water quality initiative that will help to protect and restore the waters of Lemon Bay. \nIf you would like to be part of this important effort to improve the quality of water around your home\, register today by  clicking on this link: LBC Oyster Garden Installation Request

SUMMARY:Lemon BayWatch Oyster Ambassadors
DESCRIPTION:The Lemon BayWatch Team of Lemon Bay Conservancy is pursuing their goal of improving the water quality of Lemon Bay through the use of vertical oyster gardens. \n  \nThe Lemon BayWatch “Oyster Ambassadors” will be on site at WATERWAYS Paddlesports\, 501 W. Dearborn Street\, Englewood\, FL 34223 every Thursday\, beginning January 18\, 2024  through April\, 25\, 2024\, 10:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. to provide oyster information\, answer questions\, and provide free oyster strands to residents who have registered through our site. \nVertical oyster gardens\, also known as VOGs\, are strings of recycled oyster shells collected from local Englewood restaurants.  When suspended in tidal waters\, VOGs provide the ideal habitat for young larval oysters to grow into adult oysters capable of filtering up to 50 gallons of water per day. \nThe vertical oyster garden movement has spread throughout Southwest Florida and has had a positive ecological impact.  Studies have shown that not only do they contribute to water filtration and promote cleaner water for healthy sea grass; they provide habitat for a variety of marine animals and fish. The Lemon BayWatch team is proud to be a part of this water quality initiative that will help to protect and restore the waters of Lemon Bay. \nIf you would like to be part of this important effort to improve the quality of water around your home\, register today by  clicking on this link: LBC Oyster Garden Installation Request

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.
