International Coastal Cleanup 2008

Thanks to Nanette Holland O'Hara, Public Outreach Coordinator, Tampa Bay Estuary Program for providing the following regional information:   FYI. See below for info regarding Coastal Cleanup in September. Dates vary according to county.   For Hillsborough County cleanup sites, please contact Keep Hillsborough Beautiful at  www.khcbonline.org  to sign up for this event.   Pinellas County residents may contact Keep Pinellas Beautiful at www.Keeppinellasbeautiful.org   Manatee County folks can sign up at http://www.manateebeautiful.com/               International Coastal Cleanup 2008 ____________________________________________________________________________   Mark Your Calendars! For all of you who faithfully volunteer for the Great American Cleanup, mark your calendars! The next Great American Cleanup will be held on Saturday, April 18, 2009.    Quick Links Become a Member Our Other Programs More About Us     Come join us for Coastal Cleanup 2008 !   Volunteers are needed to spend a day at the beach on Sept. 20 for the 21st Annual Coastal Cleanup in Hillsborough County .   The International Coastal Cleanup is the world's largest single-day volunteer effort to help protect the ocean and its wildlife. Each year nearly a half a million volunteers around the world spend a few hours removing trash and debris from beaches, lakes, rivers and other waterways.   Last year, 3,455 volunteers cleaned 107 miles of shoreline and collected 67,782 pounds of trash in Hillsborough County alone. Imagine what impact it could have globally with much of that trash finding its way to our waterways and into ocean currents, which would carry it thousands of miles away potentially impacting our marine life. In Hillsborough County , volunteers found birds and fish entangled in fishing line. According to the Ocean Conservancy, trash in the ocean kills more than one million seabirds and 100,000 marine mammals and turtles each year through entanglement and ingestion. In 2007, The Ocean Conservancy reported that volunteers found 237 ocean animals entangled in fishing line, plastic bags, six-pack holders and rope. "You can help make a difference and prevent tragedies like these from occurring by participating in the world's largest coastal cleanup effort," said KHCB Christine Commerce, Executive Director. "Yes, you are one person or one company but your combined efforts with thousands of volunteers can make an impact not only locally but globally."   The event will take place from 8 a.m. to noon at locations throughout Hillsborough County . A list of these locations along with a registration form can be found at www.khcbonline.org .

Wildlife 2060: What's at stake for Florida?"

When people compare a map of Florida as it is currently to a map reflecting predicted development by the year 2060, there is usually a gasp. The amount of anticipated development is stunning, and the byproduct is the loss of wildlife as the lands they inhabit become urbanized. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) tackled the challenge of predicting what may be in store for wildlife 50 years from now if growth trends continue. The results are available in the FWC publication "Wildlife 2060: What's at stake for Florida?" This document looks at the future of Florida's fish and wildlife resources in a practical and objective way. The FWC report is based on a study, "Florida 2060" conducted by 1000 Friends of Florida (www.1000friendsofflorida.org <http://www.1000friendsofflorida.org/> ), a not-for-profit organization that monitors growth in the state. "As the state agency whose mission is to manage fish and wildlife resources for their long-term well-being and the benefit of people, it is our responsibility to predict what could happen to the resources we have been charged to conserve. It is what people expect of us," said Ken Haddad, executive director of the FWC. "Our scientists and managers have 'crunched' the numbers for the Wildlife 2060 report and assessed what might happen to fish and wildlife if growth continues on its same course." The report provides specific examples of how Florida's species could be impacted by growth. Recent predictions indicate the state's human population may double to 36 million in the next five decades. The amount of urbanized land in Florida also is expected to double. To accommodate the increase in population, the report projects that by 2060, roughly 7 million additional acres of Florida land will be developed. "The development of 7 million acres represents a substantial loss of habitat and exceeds the size of Vermont," said Dr. Thomas Eason, conservation initiatives coordinator for the FWC. "Continuing the current trend clearly would be detrimental to wildlife, but it also would be detrimental to people. Fishing, hunting, bird-watching, all kinds of outdoor activities, which brought many of us to Florida in the first place, would be greatly diminished. This affects our quality of life and our economy." The revenue from hunting, fishing, wildlife viewing and boating brings billions of dollars to the state annually. Wildlife 2060 illustrates how continuing the past patterns of urban sprawl could result in fragmented natural places. "Natural habitats could become islands in a sea of development," Eason said. "Corridors for some animals to move about the state will be cut off by roads, subdivisions and shopping malls." Another prediction is that human-wildlife encounters will increase. As development encroaches on what was habitat for wild animals, people and wildlife will come face-to-face. Many animals will be displaced by human development, and humans will have to learn to live with those that remain. Large predators such as panthers, bears and alligators will pose great challenges for people living with them. Though the state faces a daunting situation, the executive director of the FWC doesn't believe the battle is lost. "On the contrary, I have confidence that Floridians will band together to ensure that we do the right thing for our fish and wildlife while boosting our economic growth and quality of life," Haddad said. "But, we must bring the best out in people to reach solutions, and we must bring virtually all interests to the table to make that happen." Rodney Barreto, chairman of the FWC, encourages everyone to do all they can to change what is happening.          "Get involved in land-use planning and decision-making, and become good stewards of the land," Barreto said. "Become educated about what to vote for and encourage your policymakers to support initiatives that help wildlife, provide incentives for private land conservation and encourage smart growth.  I am confident the future for our wildlife is bright." The FWC hopes the report motivates Floridians to look at growth more wisely and inspires people to get involved to keep the quality of life that diverse wildlife and healthy habitat provide.
