Mote documents 7th highest nesting season numbers so far

Mote Marine Laboratory & Aquarium’s Sea Turtle Conservation & Research Program (STCRP) has continued to document a dense sea turtle nesting season, while also placing two tracking tags on green sea turtles. 

STCRP monitors 35 miles of nesting beaches from Longboat Key to Venice under state permits* each year, during and just before nesting season—May 1 to Oct. 31. 

Senior Biologist & Conservation Manager Melissa Macksey stated STCRP has documented more than 2,713 loggerhead sea turtle nests, more than 40 green sea turtle nests and one Kemp’s ridley sea turtle nest so far this year. According to Macksey, this year’s numbers will be at least the 7th highest documented throughout the program’s 41-year history.


“We’re excited to see that nesting numbers are staying high like we’ve seen in the last decade. It’s great news for our local population of loggerheads,” said Macksey. “We hope to see the great nesting numbers for the rest of the season and lots of successful hatches from these nests.” Nesting season isn’t just about the hatchlings—the tiny turtles that will emerge from nests in the sand. It’s about the nesting turtles, too. 

Green sea turtles have been nesting along southwest Florida beaches in increasing numbers in recent years. This pattern presents an opportunity to tag nesting females with satellite transmitters to better understand the lives of green sea turtles in the Gulf of Mexico.


Mote satellite tagged two nesting green turtles Sweet Pea and Amelia, a day apart from each other. Both turtles are being tracked for a second time. 

Sweet Pea was the first nesting green sea turtle that Mote satellite tagged back in 2007. She was tracked to her foraging (feeding) grounds in the Marquesas Keys, Florida, where her tag stopped transmitting. Mote scientists encountered her this year, returning for her sixth nesting season in Sarasota County, and applied another satellite tag.  


Amelia was first observed nesting and received flipper tags on Casey Key in the early morning hours of June 21, 2019. Amelia was tracked to her foraging grounds in the Marquesas Keys, where she likely rubbed off her tag. Mote staff spotted Amelia nesting again on Casey Key this month and attached another satellite tag to her. She is being tracked again, thanks to divers that recovered and returned one of Mote’s satellite tags.


Senior Biologist Kristen Mazzarella explained that turtle tracking helps biologists understand a sea turtle’s activity patterns at this time of year. “We tag turtles so that we can understand nesting on the individual level and better understand nesting behavior of loggerheads and green turtles,” said Mazzarella. “The data we gather from nesting turtles helps us to determine important information like how many nests an individual turtle lays in a season, which, combined with the number of nests we count on our beaches, will help us determine how many females make up the nesting population in our area.”


Both turtles are being tracked for the second time to see if they return to the same foraging grounds. Mote encourages coastal residents and visitors to keep the beach turtle-friendly with tips on our website at mote.org/2022nesting. Weekly new nest numbers are also posted here, which allows media and members of the public to follow along throughout the season. Numbers are updated weekly by end of day Monday. 


To follow the turtles tagged by Mote, visit mote.org/seaturtletracking.

Preparation is everything, and this week a team of emergency responders conducted a drill to ensure the best response if a hurricane threatens. Key West Fire and Rescue, Monroe County Fire and Rescue, the Lower Keys Medical Center, and the U.S. Air Force Air National Guard all participated.

If Monroe County calls for a mandatory evacuation, hospital patients must be flown out to other hospitals. During the drill, volunteers posing at patients were transported from the hospital to the tarmac at the Naval Air Station Key West where they were boarded on a transport plane.

"Teamwork and practice mean that we're ready should a storm come our way," said Key West Emergency Manager Capt. Gregory Barroso. "We need to be sure we coordinate ambulance and air service to keep the patients safe under a threat of a hurricane."

The last mandatory evacuation order in the Keys was in 2017 for Hurricane Irma. But there are no guarantees, said Capt. Barroso. In 2004 there were four calls for a mandatory evacuation, and three the following year.

While emergency managers are practicing, the community is reminded to do the same. Be sure your hurricane plan is in place in case we have more than a drill this hurricane season.

Danish born, long time Key West painter Aase May’s youthful memories of museum shows in Copenhagen with early influence from Klee and Picasso and later the Impressionists, Expressionists, and Outsider Artists are reflected in her personal take of the world; the light, the dark, the beauty, in works of oil and cold wax on canvas.


The gallery reception is free and open to the public with refreshments offered.


JAG Gallery is located at the Simonton Street end of Duval Square, 1075 Duval Street with ample, free parking.  Gallery hours are Tuesday-Sunday noon to 5, Monday’s by appointment.

Nature Scenic of Eroded Rock Formations in front of Grey Overcast Sky in Castle Rock Badlands, Kansas



Colby Lysne/Getty Images

This quirky site is off the beaten path — literally. Located on private ranch land accessed by 4WD-demanding dirt roads, Castle Rock is a relic of an inland sea that once covered this part of the continent. The fragile, fossil-rich limestone pinnacles provide a near-shocking change of scenery from their Kansas prairie home.


KENTUCKY :MAMOUTH CAVE 

Interior of Mammoth Cave, Kentucky

The longest known cave system on the planet is found below the wild hills of south-central Kentucky. This UNESCO World Heritage site is a vast (as in still-being-mapped vast) limestone network of cool caverns, cathedral-like rotundas, and claustrophobic crawl spaces. Lest you think a Mammoth Cave adventure is all below ground, the lushly forested park above it offers hiking and horseback riding, plus canoeing and kayaking on its two rivers.

LOUISANA : WILD AZALEA TRAIL

Bar-crawling in Louisiana may come to mind before forest hiking. At 31 miles, the Wild Azalea Trail is the longest in the state — expect peaceful scenery of pine trees, clear creeks, gentle hills, and maybe even wild horses. Time your trek to March or April to see the namesake pale pink flowers blanketing the countryside.



MAINE : ACADIA NATIONAL PARK

With its rocky shores, crashing surf, and coastal mountain hiking trails, Acadia National Park has a special place on Maine's most beautiful places list. Get there via Coastal Highway U.S. 1 and you'll incorporate one of our other contenders. Speaking of cars, drive to the Cadillac Mountain summit before dawn for the first glimpse of sunrise in the U.S. (most of the year, that is).

Last Stand Endorses Approval of 99-Year Lease for Key West Botanical Garden

 

The board of directors of Last Stand has unanimously endorsed a YES vote on the Key West Botanical

Garden referendum question on the August 23, 2022, election ballot. It proposes to provide the Key

West Botanical Garden Society a lease for up to 99-years for the City-owned property at 5210 College Road. The referendum requires the continued use of the property exclusively for a botanical garden and arboretum, providing public access, public recreation, and wildlife habitat. 

 

Since 1936, the City of Key West has designated the Botanical Garden on Stock Island as a natural area for conservation. Under stewardship of the Botanical Garden Society, the garden has flourished and has become an important resource for Key West residents and visitors.

 

The Botanical Garden Society has a proven track record as an effective steward of the Garden. The volunteer board of directors is composed of locals with a passion for the Botanical Garden’s mission. Over the years, it has invested over $2 million in improvements to the Garden, including extensive boardwalks that give access to visitors of all abilities. The non-profit organization GuideStar has awarded the Botanical Garden Society its highest platinum rating for excellent stewardship of donations and corporate governance.

 

To open more opportunities for long-term grant funding, the Botanical Garden Society needs to demonstrate stability for the years ahead. The Key West Charter requires a referendum vote in order to enter a 99-year lease, because the proposed action is, in effect, disposition of land by the City, requiring voter approval.


An emphasis on native plant species, both in the Garden and available from the nursery store, promote habitat that is vital to threatened and endangered species. Native host plants for butterflies and tropical fruiting trees enhance the visitor experience and provide a food source for birds and other wildlife. The garden is an important stop-over spot for migratory birds. In the first six months of 2022, visitors have identified 108 different bird species in the garden.


Education programs, at the garden and online, benefit children in Monroe County from pre-K through high school. The speaker series with an adult focus and Garden Guardians programs provide learning opportunities for residents and tourists.


There is no doubt that we all benefit from the Botanical Garden. Passing this referendum will help to ensure that this vital conservation resource is available for future generations to enjoy. Last Stand is urging all Key West voters to mark YES for this referendum question on the August 23rd ballot.

We continue with Part 4 : The natural world is full of beauty, wonder, and mystery. Nature has the power to create life and the power to take it away. As this collection of photographs show, the natural world is full of surprises that can be destructive and deadly or amazing and inspiring.

As these images were collected on the world wide web, some may be post-edited or altered. User discretion is advised.


INCREDIBLE LIGHTNING STORM OVER LAKE MICHIGAN

 Just off the Chicago shoreline, Lake Michigan, one of the five Great Lakes, is a major factor in the city’s weather patterns. The third largest of the Great Lakes and the only one located entirely in the United States, Lake Michigan is technically a large freshwater sea instead of a lake. The massive body of water intensified thunderstorms and adds fuel to them. The photographer who snapped this image had impeccable timing and was able to capture several lightning strikes in the lake in one impressive shot. 

LEN SHAPPED CLOUDS THAT CAN BE SEEN 60 MILES AWAY

People have mistaken lens clouds for UFOs and when you look at these saucer-shaped clouds, it is easy to see how that could happen. Lens clouds, lenticular clouds, and fairly uncommon cloud formations. Lens clouds are formed when air travels over a mountain that disrupts the air flow. Moist stable air causes the water vapor to condense and form these round, flat clouds. You have to admit, they look other-worldly so it is understandable that so many people think they are seeing a flying saucer when it is just a lens cloud. 

STUNNING 50 FOOT BLUE ICE MONOLITH IN THE ANTARCTIC

Some of these photographs floating around the internet claim this is a tsunami wave that was flash frozen, but that is fake news. This is actually an exciting example of the natural phenomenon of blue ice. The ice is extremely thick…so thick, in fact, that as light passes through it, the red wave lengths are filtered out so the ice only reflects back blue. Formed of compressed ice with tiny air bubbles, the giant ice monolith in Antarctica is frozen year-round, though some ice melts off the surface in the summer months. New layers are added in the winter months. 

ONE OF THE RAREST ANIMALS ON THE PLANET THE BLACK JAGUAR

It takes two spotted black jaguar parents to produce spotted black jaguar cubs. The animal’s fur is a rich golden color and the spots are a deep black. Black jaguars were once considered to be a separate animal from the standard jaguar but biologists now classify them as different colorings of the same animal. Jaguars are most closely related to panthers and leopards and all are members of the feline family of big cats, a group that also included lions and tigers. Like their other family members, the black jaguar is a skilled and dangerous hunter.

 Photographer Darren Pearson captured this incredible long exposure shot of lightning striking a tree.

Ben Franklin famously demonstrated the lightning is really electricity slicing through the air. In this image by Darren Pearson, we can really see the power of the electricity. Pearson claimed he took this shot using a long exposure on his camera which captured the movement of the electricity as it passed through the tree and into the ground. The color changes show us how the intensity of the electricity dissipated after it is grounded. Some critics on the internet claim that this image is fake and that the color and pattern of the lightning has been photoshopped. Whether that is true or not, this is still a striking image

MONROE COUNTY FIRE MARSHAL’S OFFICE REMINDERS FOR FIREWORK DISPLAYS

 

MONROE COUNTY, FL – The Monroe County Fire Marshal’s Office wants everyone to have a fun and, most importantly, a safe 4th of July weekend. Please leave firework displays to the professionals.

 

“Discharge of fireworks can lead to loss of life and property,” said Monroe County Deputy Fire Chief RL Colina. “Fireworks can burn as hot as 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit, which can cause real damage when not handled properly.”

 

All fireworks in unincorporated Monroe County must be permitted through the Monroe County Fire Marshal’s Office. The Fire Marshal’s Office has approved the following public firework displays in unincorporated Monroe County (all times are approximate):

  • July 3 - Big Pine Community Park at 9 p.m.
  • July 3 - Hawks Cay Resort at 10 p.m.
  • July 4 - Rowell’s Waterfront Park at 9 p.m.
  • July 4 - Bungalows Key Largo Resort at 10 p.m.
  • July 4 - Ocean Reef Club around 9 p.m.

 

There are additional displays in some municipalities.

 

**Reminder: If you live in the vicinity of any firework shows, you may want to soothe your pets and keep them indoors.

 

Here are a few ideas provided by the National Fire Prevention Association to get into the patriotic spirit without fireworks:

1. Glow sticks: a safe alternative to a sparkler.

2. Noisemakers: If you can’t find any, make your own.

3. Outdoor movie night: Set up a screen and projector.

4. Make a patriotic craft with the family.

5. Throw a birthday party for the USA, and don’t forget the cake.

For more information on fireworks permitting, please visit www.monroecounty-fl.gov/fireworks. Monroe County also keeps a list of permitted firework displays on this page for reference. While there are no other scheduled displays than 4th of July celebrations at this time, permits can include fireworks displays for special events like weddings.
