First impressions matter!

“This first trek "imprints" their home beach into the hatchlings. Once grown, the turtles will return to lay their nests on the same beach.” https://myfwc.com/research/wildlife/sea-turtles/florida/faq/

You never know what you’re going to find during a beach cleanup. We were lucky to witness a rare daytime hatch yesterday.
*
Turtle season is active through October, so please remember to fill your beach holes…and kindly encourage your neighbors to do the same.

Found and removed a container filled with 15 gallons of fuel from the dunes at the Bear Cut preserve during a #beachcleanup with South Miami K8 School’s National Junior Honor Society last weekend.
*
Rather than carry the 90 lbs. juggie 1/2 a mile back to base camp, our pals from @biscaynenaturecenter and @miamidadecountyparks answered the call and hauled it home.
*
A diverse population of shorebirds inhabit this corner of paradise on #keybiscayne. We love observing them in their native habitat, and are thankful to the students, teachers, parents and Park Staff for their efforts.
*
21 volunteers
146 lbs. marine debris removed

Thank you @billbaggsstatepark Rangers Alex and Hugo, and turtle volunteers Rumya and Karen for coming to the rescue. Together we removed a massive bundle of #traprope from the shoreline of #capeflorida state park during a sunrise paddle on a picture perfect day.
*
Initially, I was only able to cut off about 1/4 of what turned out to be a 300 lbs. death trap. I needed help. After waving down the trusty turtle trackers on their ATV, we radioed the rangers; “We’re going to need shovels and muscle!”
*
Luckily, I brought my new @gillmarine serrated knife, and Ranger Alex skipped the gym earlier that day!

Scientists estimate that by the year 2050, 99 percent of all pelagic birds will have consumed plastic at some point in their lives.
*
Today we spotted a seagull scoop a piece of latex during a beach cleanup with @vassarclubsouthflorida. Luckily, it wasn’t a clean getaway.
*
We like watching birds, especially the variety of resident and migratory #shorebirds that call #keybiscayne home. Thank you @vassarclubsouthflorida for removing 30 lbs. of plastic and marine debris from the #bearcut preserve sanctuary today. Every piece matters.

Yep, that’s a 27” Panasonic Triple Play TV that washed ashore at #crandonpark.
*
Students, parents and staff from Coconut Grove Elementary School joined forces for a #beachcleanup with FillABag yesterday to kick off Earth Month. The intrepid crew combed through the weedy wrack line and dense dunes, removing 262 lbs. of debris from the fragile Bear Cut Preserve.
*
Besides the TV and a rusted out derelict trash bin, all the usual suspects made an appearance, including ropes, nets, plastic bottles, styrofoam and fishing lines.

A successful #greenturtle rehab and release today at @billbaggsstatepark The veterinarian team from @zoomiami was kind enough to patch her up and share her story before returning her back home on a glorious Spring day.
*
Please remember to fill your beach holes, as the #nestingseason is here! Kindly encourage friends, family, and even strangers, to do the same. It matters. And fill a bag, when you can✌🏽
*
See you out there!

Ms. Moore and the Key Biscayne K-8 Center middle schoolers showed their love for the environment over two days this week. Together they removed 178 lbs. of litter from the Village streets, sidewalks, parks, bus shelters, parking lots and swales.
*
This spirited crew of 75 teens and a few hero teachers uncovered some strange finds…as well as a few treasures. Most importantly, none of the litter recovered will end up in the waterways that surround their island paradise. Great job gang. The future is bright!
