Beach parking at Alligator Point, and to a lesser degree St. George Island, remains a big issue for Franklin County
Beach parking at Alligator Point, and
to a lesser degree St. George Island, remains a big issue for
Franklin County and the county commission is now looking at long-term
solutions for the problem.
Sheriff AJ Smith raised the issue at
Tuesday's County Commission meeting, asking if the county could hire
parking attendants for the two locations so that deputies would not
have to spend so much time dealing with parking issues.
The county has already allowed local
towing companies to roam and remove vehicles parked illegally without
getting deputies involved – but it's not enough.
The sheriff said we are seeing record
crowds, and every weekend recently feel like Memorial Day.
He said it is a waste of deputies time
to write tickets because there are other crimes going on at the
beaches that they should be dealing with like littering, indecent
exposure, drunk driving and trespassing.
He estimated it would cost around 10
thousand dollar to have two people working through the summer, mainly
on weekends during daylight hours.
The county, however, doesn't have the
money for it but said they would approach some of the civic groups to
see if they could help pay for the service.
The commission also considered using
TDC funds for the program, but that's not an allowed used for Tourist
Development dollars.
Commissioner Noah Lockley expressed
frustration at that and pointed out that the TDC is in charge of
bringing tourists to the county but when visitors get here they have
no place to park.
The board also rejected using money
from their reserve for contingency fund, because of fears that that
money will be critical during hurricane season.
The sheriff said he will have to make
parking violations a low priority for the time being.
Meanwhile county staff will begin
looking at the issue and compiling information for a workshop where
they hope to come up with a long term solution to the beach parking
problem.

State biologists are asking for the public's help in monitoring wild turkeys this summer
State
biologists are asking for the public's help in monitoring wild
turkeys this summer.
The
Sunshine State is home to healthy wild turkey populations.
They
occur throughout Florida and prefer open forests and forest edges and
openings.
The
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission conducts the summer
wild turkey survey each year to learn more about annual nesting
success, brood survival, and distribution and abundance of wild
turkeys.
The
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is asking the
public to report all wild turkeys they see during your normal daily
activities from June 1st to August 31st.
They
are interested in sightings of hens with and without young as well as
male birds from all regions of the state, including rural and
developed areas.
You
can report wild turkey sightings on-line at myfwc.com.

Gone Coastal: When releasing deep-water fish, the right tools mean everything

When releasing deep-water fish, the right tools mean everything
It’s that time of year when you may be fishing for snapper and grouper. Continue your role as a conservationist when releasing fish by looking out for signs of barotrauma and being prepared to respond. Barotrauma is a condition seen in many fish caught at depths greater than 50 feet caused by pressure changes leading to an expansion of gases in the swim bladder. Signs of barotrauma include the stomach coming out of the mouth, bloated belly, distended intestines and bulging eyes.

Barotrauma can cause damage to internal organs and can be fatal unless appropriate steps are taken. It’s important to know in advance what tools are available and how to use them to help fish return to the bottom and increase their chances of survival.
Descending devices take fish back down to a depth where increased pressure from the water will recompress swim bladder gases. They fall into three categories: mouth clamps, inverted hooks and fish elevators. With proper set-up and practice, descending devices can be easy to use and make a big impact on the survival of released fish. Learn more about descending devices and how to use them at MyFWC.com/SaltwaterFishing by clicking on the “Descending Devices” playlist.
Descending devices return fish to a depth where gases in the body cavity can recompress.
Venting tools are sharpened, hollow instruments that treat barotrauma by releasing expanded gas from the swim bladder, enabling the fish to swim back down.
Please note, items such as fillet knives, ice picks, screwdrivers and gaffs are not venting tools and should never be used to vent a fish. Venting a fish incorrectly may cause more harm than good.
To properly vent, lay the fish on its side (on a cool, wet surface). Venting tools should be inserted 1-2 inches behind the base of the pectoral fin, under a scale at a 45-degree angle, just deep enough to release trapped gasses. Never insert venting tools into a fish’s belly, back or stomach that may be protruding from the mouth. Learn how to vent properly by visiting https://youtu.be/jhkzv1_2Bpc.
Venting tools should be inserted 1-2 inches behind the base of the pectoral fin, under a scale at a 45-degree angle, just deep enough to release trapped gasses.
Descending devices and venting tools should only be used when fish show one or more signs of barotrauma and cannot swim back down on their own. It is essential to work quickly when using these tools and return the fish to the water as soon as possible. Anglers should choose the device and method they are most comfortable with and that best fits the situation.
Anglers should also use proper gear when fishing for reef fish. Non-stainless steel inline (non-offset) circle hooks with the barb crimped down often hook in the mouth rather than the gut, making it easier to release fish. Dehooking tools also help quickly release fish so you can get back to fishing for that big one in no time. Using the right tools and acting quickly will make a big difference in the survival of fish you release. To learn about reef fish gear rules for circle hooks and dehooking tools, visit MyFWC.com/Marine and click on “Recreational Regulations,” then click “Gear Rules” under the Reef Fish tab.
Non-stainless steel inline circle hooks with the barb crimped down and dehooking tools should be used to help quickly release fish and increase their chances of survival.

The Franklin County Dixie Youth league has the go-ahead to start playing ball.
The Franklin County Dixie Youth league
has the go-ahead to start playing ball.
Franklin County Commissioners have
signed off on the League's plan to reopen the baseball and softball
season for local children.
At this point the games will only be
played in-county against other teams from around the county.
There have been some discussions about
out-of-county play, but nothing has been decided yet, and that would
require further approval.
Parents will have to sign a COVID-19
waiver to allow their children to play.
There will also be a waiver to protect
the county from any legal action.
It will be up to the league to insure
that the restrooms and other locations remain clean and people will
have to adhere to social distancing guidelines.
As commission chairman Noah Lockley
said, “The COVID is still out there.”
The county may also have parks and rec
workers attend the games, at least initially, to insure that all
guidelines are being met.
