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.
