Red Tide still showing up along Northwest Florida coast
 (Having trouble viewing this email? View it as a Web page.) Blooms of the Florida red tide organism, Karenia brevis, are present in, along, and offshore of Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, Walton, Bay, and Gulf counties in Northwest Florida and in, along, and offshore of Pinellas, Manatee, Sarasota, Charlotte, and Lee counties in Southwest Florida. Due to sampling gaps, no results are available for Santa Rosa and Walton counties. However, a bloom is present in these regions, as evidenced by discolored water, fish kills, and respiratory irritation. No satellite images were available this week due to cloud cover. Karenia brevis was detected in background concentrations in one sample collected alongshore of Escambia County and one sample collected offshore of Pasco County; low to medium concentrations in 4 samples collected in and alongshore of Okaloosa County; very low to high concentrations in 12 samples collected in and alongshore of Bay County; and background to medium concentrations in 2 samples collected inshore of Gulf County.Karenia brevis was not detected in, along, or offshore of Franklin, Dixie, or Hernando counties. No samples were analyzed this week from Santa Rosa, Walton, Wakulla, Jefferson, Taylor, or Citrus counties. FWC continues to receive widespread reports of extensive fish kills. To date, 77 reports from Northwest Florida have been recorded from numerous locations including Navarre, Okaloosa, and Santa Rosa beaches, Destin Harbor, Destin Marina, Destin Pass, West Bay, St. Andrew Bay, Pratt Bayou, Shalimar Yacht Basin, Rosemary and Panama City beaches, East Bay River, Eastern Lake, Fort Walton Beach, Pensacola Bay, Powell Lake, Pensacola Beach, and Navarre Beach Pier. Respiratory irritation has also been reported in the majority of these locations and is possible throughout the area where red tide is present. Karenia brevis was detected in background to very low concentrations in 2 samples collected in and alongshore of Pinellas County; background to low concentrations in 25 samples collected in and alongshore of Manatee, Charlotte, and Lee counties; and background to high concentrations in 24 samples collected in and alongshore of Sarasota County. One sample collected alongshore of Collier County also contained background concentrations of K. brevis. Karenia brevis was not detected in a sample collected alongshore of Monroe County. No samples were collected in Hillsborough County this week. Respiratory irritation and fish kills were reported from some beaches in Southwest Florida this week. Forecasts by the USF-FWC Collaboration for Prediction of Red Tides show little net movement of bloom patches over the next three days. This information, including maps and reports with additional details, is also available on the FWRI Red Tide website. The website also provides links to additional information related to the topic of Florida red tide including satellite imagery, experimental red tide forecasts, shellfish harvesting areas, the FWC Fish Kill Hotline, the Florida Poison Information Center (to report human health effects related to exposure to red tide), and other wildlife related hotlines. To learn more about various organisms that have been known to cause algal blooms in Florida waters, see the FWRI Red Tide Flickr page. Archived status maps can also be found on Flickr. The FWRI HAB group in conjunction with Mote Marine Laboratory now have a facebook page.

Florida to consider changes to Box-R Ranch management plan
The
State of Florida is looking for public input into the 10 year management plan
for the Box-R Wildlife Management Area just west of Apalachicola.
The Box-R Wildlife Management Area includes over 11
thousand acres in Franklin and Gulf counties.
The area was once known as the Box-R Ranch.
The Wildlife Management Area is used for a number of outdoor
activities including hunting, fishing, kayaking, and horseback riding.
It is also a good location for bird watching and wildlife
viewing with bird and animal species including wood storks and white ibis as
well as alligators and otters.
The
10-year management plan spells out how the property can be used, including any
amenities that might be provided.
Hunting and fishing regulations are
not included in this plan, because they are addressed through a separate public
process.
There
will be a public hearing on the draft management plan on Thursday,
November 5th at the Franklin County Courthouse in
Apalachicola.
The public will then be able to comment on the draft land management
plan and offer suggestions.

220 sea turtle nests found on St. George Island this year
The Sea
Turtles patrol on St. George Island has just released its final summary for the
2015 Sea turtle nesting season and said overall we saw a lot more turtle nests
this year than last.
There were 212
loggerhead sea turtle nests on St. George Island this year – that’s up from 123
last year.
There were 240
nests the year before that.
There were
also 8 green turtle nests on the island this year.
Nearly 200 of
the nests produced hatchlings and almost 17 thousand sea turtles successfully
and made their way from St. George Island to the Gulf of Mexico.
The Sea Turtle
patrol said 5 nests were completely washed away this year, and 5 were destroyed
by coyotes.
Of the nests
that successfully hatched, 21 were affected by man-made lights – disorienting hundreds
of Hatchlings.
On the
positive side, people are showing a growing interest in how to protect the
turtles.
Over 1000
people turned out for one of the free sea turtle presentations offered at the
Apalachicola National Estuarine Research Reserve during this year’s nesting
season.

Florida Department of Corrections to Focus on Public Safety and Offender Supervision During Halloween
TALLAHASSEE – To enhance public safety and the safety of Florida’s families this Halloween, Florida Department of Corrections’ (FDC) probation officers will work with local law enforcement agencies throughout the state to ensure sex offenders under felony supervision do not partake in any Halloween-related activities involving minors.
During designated “trick-or-treat” hours, FDC probation officers will make personal contact and conduct surveillance in local communities. Safety efforts will also include surprise visits by probation officers, multiple residence drive-bys and increased surveillance at motels and treatment facilities that sex offenders use.
Secretary Julie Jones said, “The FDC Office of Community Corrections’ top priority is the safety of Florida’s communities. Our officer’s increased vigilanceand collaboration with local law enforcement will ensure that Florida’s children and their parents are able to enjoy a safe and peaceful Halloween.”
In addition to the increased security, sex offenders under supervision have also been given strict instructions regarding their restrictions for the Halloween holiday:
· Do not give out candy or other treats.
· Turn off porch lights, close blinds.
· No outside decorations to attract children.
· Do not answer the door to trick-or-treaters.
· Do not dress in costumes or masks.
· Do not attend Halloween parties where children will be present.
Offenders who do not remain in compliance with the terms of their supervision will be subject to immediate arrest.
Florida citizens can search for sex offenders located in or near their neighborhoods by visiting the Florida Department of Law Enforcement’s Offender Search webpage at: http://offender.fdle.state.fl.

FWC believes they have killed the black bear that attacked an Eastpoint man
Fish and
Wildlife officials believe they have captured and killed the black bear that
attacked a man in Eastpoint on October 23rd.
An FWC Spokesperson said a female black bear was trapped and
euthanized Tuesday night in Eastpoint.
Officials believe it to be the bear that attacked Charlie
Griffin at the Sportsman’s Lodge in Eastpoint.
DNA samples from the bear and from the victim have been sent off
for analysis.
It will take about a week to fully verify that the right bear
was killed.
Charlie was injured when the black bear jumped out of the
hotel’s dumpster and ran him down.
He received injuries to the arm that required stitches but he
was treated and released from Weems Memorial Hospital the same night.
In
general, black bears have a natural fear of
people but as their population grows and
more of them venture into towns they lose that fear, especially if people
actively feed them.
It
is illegal to feed bears in Florida and is likely a death sentence for the
bear.
To keep bears away from your
home, make sure to store all food and garbage in secure areas or get a bear
proof garbage can from your garbage company.
And
if you are aware of bears that may pose a danger to people or of people feeding
bears, you can call the FWC Wildlife Alert Hotline at 888-404-FWCC (3922) to
report it.

Franklin County to consider resolution opposing fracking
Franklin County commissioners will
likely pass a resolution opposing fracking when the board meets next week in
Apalachicola.
Fracking is a process used to get
oil and natural gas out of underground shale using a high-pressure water and
chemical mixture.
There is no fracking currently
going on in our area, but there is a Texas company seeking state permits to
begin seismic testing on private land in Calhoun and Gulf counties.
The testing could begin as early
as December.
The proposal has raised concerns
about the possibility of ground water contamination and even impacts on the
Apalachicola River and Bay.
State Representative Gwen Graham even
issued a letter to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection saying
that the process poses a great threat of water contamination.
Earlier this month the Franklin County
commission heard from Amy Datz with the Environmental Caucus of Florida who
spelled out some of the potential dangers of fracking in our area.
She also provided the county with
a resolution opposing fracking in Florida.
The county commission, however,
said they thought the resolution miss Datz provided was too broad because it
covered the entire state.
The commission said it would
prefer to have a resolution specifically about Franklin County and the possible
impacts local residents could see.
The board said it will vote on
the new resolution on November the 3rd.

Florida's black bear hunt ends after two days
Florida’s first black bear hunt in
over 20 years ended after only two days.
The
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said 295 black bears were
killed over those two days – 25 short of the limit.
A
large number of the bears were killed in our area.
There
were 112 bears killed in Florida's eastern panhandle, which includes Franklin
County.
That’s
nearly three times the limit of 40 that the commission had set.
The
Central Florida region's limit had been 100, and hunters topped that too,
bringing in 139 dead bears by midday Sunday.
There
were also 23 black bears killed in north Florida and 21 killed in south
Florida.
It’s estimated
there are more than 3,000 black bears in Florida, but a population survey has
not been completed in more than a decade, so the true number is unknown.
