SUMMARY:Online Sci-Café: Restoration of MK Ranch
DESCRIPTION:Jeff Beal\, lead Florida biologist for Ducks Unlimited\, will tell us about the MK Ranch project\, a key restoration project on the Apalachicola River. MK Ranch comprises approximately 6\,400 acres of historic tidal marsh in the lower Apalachicola River Basin and acts as a filter and storage area for water flowing from upland sites to the tributaries of Lake Wimico and Apalachicola Bay. Previous activity from the 1970s severed the river from its floodplain\, changed water flow patterns restricting freshwater flows into the estuarine system. This had downstream consequences for water quality in Apalachicola Bay. \nPlease register for Restoration of MK Ranch on March 25\, 2021 3:00 PM at: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/3864379163498082063. After registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.

SUMMARY:Apalachicola NERR Hosts Virtual Estuaries Week for 2020
DESCRIPTION:The Apalachicola NERR welcomes Franklin County to attend Virtual National Estuaries Day this September! As a measure of public safety\, National Estuaries Day at the Reserve – which usually draws 800 people – has moved online this year. The mission of National Estuaries Day is to connect people with the estuarine community that supports the life of thousands of species\, including us\, the humans that live off the bay. Annually in the past\, that mission was accomplished by inviting students\, families and experts alike to gather in one place for one day to share knowledge about the bay and enthusiasm for its conservation. This year\, we are taking the opportunity to expand the scope from just one day at the Apalachicola NERR Nature Center to a whole week around the entire Apalachicola Bay watershed. \nWhat: Virtual Estuaries Week Online Celebration and Remote BioBlitz\nWhen: Virtual Estuaries Week Activities – Sept. 19-26\, 2020\nLive BioBlitz at St. George Island State Park – Saturday\, Sept. 26\, 2020\, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. \nJoin us virtually for our celebration of the Estuary beginning on Sept. 19 by visiting our website. There will be video tours\, virtual field experiences\, downloadable/printable activity sheets\, and a weeklong digital BioBlitz that you can participate in by downloading the ‘iNaturalist’ app or ‘Seek by iNaturalist’ and uploading any species you find around the whole Reserve! \nFor details about the apps: \n\nSeek by iNaturalist\niNaturalist\n\nClick here to check up on the status of the BioBlitz. \nThere will be one day of in-person activities on Saturday\, Sept. 26. Registration on Eventbrite will be required in advance (Click here to register). The event will take place at St. George Island State Park from 9 a.m to 3 p.m.\, but your group’s participation in all activities will only take about two hours.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED: Apalachicola River & Floodplain Class
DESCRIPTION:The Apalachicola River has been called “the Lifeblood of the Bay.” Freshwater from the river mixes with salty gulf creating Apalachicola Bay\, one of the most pristine and productive estuaries in the country. The river has always played an important role in Apalachicola’s history and it is vital to our lives today. It is also a significant resource for the state of Florida\, and its freshwater flow is critical to the health and productivity of the Gulf of Mexico. \nParticipants will learn about the ecology\, culture\, and history of the Apalachicola River and floodplain\, as well as come to appreciate the impact interstate relationships play in the control of the river. After the in-class portion\, participants will embark on a journey up the river aboard the ANERR research vessel Henry Lee to get an up-close look at some of the floodplain ecosystems and distributaries of the river. \nTickets for the class are free but must be claimed in advance by visiting our eventbrite page at apalachicolareserve.eventbrite.com. If you have any further questions\, please do not hesitate to get in touch with either Anita Grove at (850) 670-7708 or by email at anita.grove@dep.state.fl.us – or with Josh Eaton at (850) 670-7701 or email him at  joshua.eaton@floridadep.gov

SUMMARY:Living Shorelines Overview for Residents
DESCRIPTION:Coastal erosion is a natural process caused by currents\, wave action\, wind\, storms and even boat wakes. The traditional methods used to harden the shoreline like seawalls and rip rap can actually often increase the rate of coastal erosion as well as remove the ability of the shoreline to carry out natural processes. \nThe Apalachicola National Estuarine Research Reserve (ANERR) will host a workshop on using Living Shorelines to combat erosion on Thursday\, February 20\, 2020\, 2:00-4:00 pm for local residents and homeowners. The workshop will discuss living shorelines vs. hardened shorelines as well as how to evaluate a shoreline by considering the physical factors such as wave energy\, prevailing wind and wave direction\, vegetation\, and soil type\, in addition to presenting living shoreline methods\, materials\, permitting\, and success stories of local living shorelines. We will also look at which types of plants are the most beneficial and visit a local living shoreline. \nThis lecture is free\, but please register in advance on our eventbrite page.
