Franklin County Commissioners refuse to lower airport lease

County Commissioners have rejected a request to lower the lease for their Fixed Base Operator at the Apalachicola airport.

The Company that manages the airport, called Crystal Air, has asked that its rent be cut in half from 5000 dollars a month to 2500 dollars.

In return, the county would get control of the corporate hangar which is about 10 thousand square feet plus 1500 square feet of office space.

The Fixed Base operator makes money by selling fuel, and renting space at the hangars at the airport as well as by providing services like aircraft maintenance, car rental and flight training.

He is currently about halfway through a 5 year lease.

Airport manager Alan Pierce recommended that the county take the offer but county commissioners were not convinced.

Commissioner Pinki Jackel said maybe the county should take a portion of the fuel sales as part of the rent payment.

Commissioner Noah Lockley was even more direct and said the county should start looking for a new Fixed Base operator now because the current one has not fulfilled its duties promises for the airport.

The board also complained that its engineering firm is not doing as much as it can to promote the airport and bring new users to the site.

The board unanimously rejected any cut in the airport lease; Commissioner Sheryl sanders said the owner of crystal air should come to the county commission to discuss this personally in the future.

The board also agreed to begin the search for a new engineering firm for the airport that they hope will take a more active interest in the airport.

This could be a record year for Florida tourism

Florida is on pace for a record year for tourism.

According to VISIT FLORIDA's preliminary estimates 24.0 million visitors came to Florida between April-June, an increase of 3.0 percent over the same period in 2013. 

That’s the largest second quarter for tourism Florida has ever experienced. 

Visitor spending is also up.

VisitFlorida said tourists spent nearly 36 billion dollars between January and May, 7 percent more than 2013.

VISIT FLORIDA estimates that 2.8 million overseas visitors and one million Canadians came to Florida during the second quarter, while Floridians took just over 3.7 million in-state pleasure trips during the same time.

Attorney General Pam Bondi Warns Consumers of Utility Bill Scams

TALLAHASSEE, Fla.—Attorney General Pam Bondi advises Floridians to be wary of utility bill scams. In recent utility scams, someone calls and claims to be a representative of a utility company and tells the customer that their utility bill is overdue and payment must be received or services will be shut off immediately. Scammers use devices that alter the caller ID to look like a utility customer service number. Payments are requested in uncommon ways, such as wiring the money, prepaid cards or gift cards. The latest targets of this scam include restaurants and other businesses that can’t afford to have their utility services abruptly shut off; however individual consumers are just as likely to be targeted. 

Consumers can protect themselves from utility scams by following these tips:

· Never provide personal information over the phone or through email;

· If contacted by a suspicious person claiming to be the customer’s utility company, the customer should contact his or her utility company and notify them of the recent communications and check the billing status of their current account; and

· Report any suspicious activity to Attorney General Pam Bondi’s Fraud Hotline by calling 1-866-966-7226 or by visiting MyFloridaLegal.com.

Rubio Welcomes New Disaster Assistance To Restore Apalachicola Bay Fishery

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) today welcomed the announcement made by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to disburse $6,310,216 of new disaster assistance funding aimed to restore the oyster fishery in Apalachicola Bay Florida.

On August 12, 2013, a federal fisheries disaster was declared for the oyster fishery along the northwest coast of Florida due to excessive drought conditions in Apalachicola Bay and elsewhere in the Florida Panhandle that have caused the regional economy to suffer significantly. Historically, the Apalachicola Bay region has produced 90 percent of Florida’s oysters and 10 percent of the oysters supplied to the entire country.

“I welcome today’s long-awaited announcement to provide disaster assistance to Apalachicola Bay. This news is much-needed relief for the small business owners and families who were severely impacted by this disaster,” said Rubio. “During my trip to the region last year, I saw firsthand how essential a thriving oyster industry is to Florida’s Panhandle, and I am happy to see that we will finally start getting Florida’s oyster industry back on track.

“While I welcome today’s announcement, I remain committed to ensuring that we eventually reach a long-term solution to this problem, including restoring water flows to Apalachicola Bay,” added Rubio. “I will continue seeking a permanent solution to this, and look forward to working toward a full economic recovery for Florida’s invaluable oyster fishery.”

Background

In September 2012, Senators Rubio and Nelson along with the entire northwest Florida Congressional delegation sent a letter to then Acting Secretary Rebecca Blank of the U.S. Department of Commerce in support of Governor Scott’s request for a fishery disaster declaration under the Magnuson-Stevens Act, which can be read here.

After the disaster was officially declared, in September 2013, Senators Rubio and Nelson sent a letter to the Chairwoman and Ranking member of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, and Science and Related Agencies expressing their commitment to securing disaster funding for Florida’s oyster fishery, which can be read here. In November 2013, Senator Rubio again signed onto a letter to Congressional leadership asking for disaster assistance funding for Florida’s oyster fishery which can be read here, and the funding was ultimately included in the FY2014 Consolidated Appropriations Act.

In August 2013, Senator Rubio attended a Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation field hearing and heard firsthand testimony from those affected by the ongoing crisis. Rubio also toured Apalachicola Bay and met with local oystermen, families, and businesses to examine the dire effects of the water shortage on Apalachicola Bay and Florida industry.

SOUTHERLAND WELCOMES DISASTER FUNDS TO APALACHICOLA OYSTER FISHERY

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Rep. Steve Southerland, II welcomed the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)’s allocation today of $6.3 million in disaster assistance to Apalachicola Bay’s oyster fishery.  Southerland has spearheaded congressional efforts to ensure North and Northwest Florida’s oystermen receive the critical relief they need in the wake of a 60% decline in the oyster fishery since 2012. 

“I am thrilled that these relief funds are now on their way to helping the hardworking people who rely on Apalachicola Bay,” said Southerland.  “While these resources represent an important victory, more must be done to save this cherished community.  I look forward to building off today’s news and continuing our fight to restore Apalachicola’s oyster industry.” 

Southerland coauthored a letter to congressional leaders last fall urging that North Florida’s oyster fishery receive disaster relief in the final FY2014 funding bill.

The funds will be made available later this week.  Primary allocations will go to:

·         $2.8 million for shelling by oystermen

·         $1.75 million for shelling by barge

·         $770,000 for processing facility updates

·         $540,000 for vocational education and training

·         $415,000 for monitoring of the Bay through Florida Fish and Wildlife Service

Apalachicola Mayor receives Golden Rule Award

Apalachicola Mayor Van Johnson accepted the “Golden Rule” International Award last week at a ceremony at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum in Grand Rapids, Michigan.  

The award was created as a way to honor leaders who best represent the Golden Rule in their everyday life, "Treating Others the Way You Want to Be Treated".

The award has been established in 120 nations around the world.

The mayor was nominated to receive award by Dr. Kevin Storr, Ph.D., who is an associate professor of physics at Prairie View A&M University in Prairie View, Texas.  

It was through following Mayor Johnson on his social media sites that Dr. Storr became acquainted with his work as mayor of Apalachicola, which in Storr's own assessment exemplifies the Golden Rule.

Johnson was first elected mayor of Apalachicola in 2007 after serving 10-years as a city commissioner.

GULF SPECIMEN MARINE LABORATORIES Join Our Mailing List In this day of budget cuts, it is easy to cut the "extra stuff." However, in my book [the Sea Mobile] is not extra stuff. It is vital and essential in raising students' awareness of the global and natural crises they will face in their lifetime." ~ Pam Bridges, 5th Grade Teacher, Seminole County Elementary School   Dear friends of the Aquarium, The Gulf Specimen Marine Lab's Sea Mobile travelling exhibit and outreach program is making a huge impact through its marine and watershed education program.    In 2013 the Sea Mobile presented programs to 106 schools in Florida and southern Georgia. More than 6,000 school children and their teachers directly experienced the marine life of the Gulf of Mexico.  74,000 adults and children enjoyed the Sea Mobile at public events.    The Sea Mobile program began with donations from the Williams Family Foundation in Thomasville, Georgia and the Florida Sea Turtle Fund. The Sea Mobile van and exhibits were constructed in 2012 and a curriculum developed, and a  talented educator hired. "The SeaMobile" The Sea Mobile delivers meaningful education to children and adults. Miles driven and thousands of hands that touch and handle exhibits, and the careful chemical and temperature requirements of live specimens are expensive to maintain. But the rewards are great.  The need to educate future generations about conservation is never greater. This is a Special Appeal to support the Sea Mobile Program.  Needs include: 1) a larger t ruck to haul the heavy aquaria and van; 2) durable, high quality microscopes ); 3) monitors for outdoor viewing; 4) development of interactive online lesson plan resources for teachers. A gift of $100 or more can make a huge difference. $500 will buy a new microscope; $700 will purchase a program for an entire school. $1,000 will purchase a new monitor. But all donations count and are welcomed. You'll be recognized as a Sea Mobile supporter on our website . For donors of $1,000 or more, we will bring the Sea Mobile to a community event of your choice. Help us educate the next generation to conserve and advocate for wildlife and the integrity of the watershed that supports human and marine life, and the regional economy.

FWC tarpon researchers seek data from north Florida anglers

FWC tarpon researchers seek data from north Florida anglers

The strength, stamina and fighting ability of a “silver king” make tarpon one of Florida’s most popular game fish. Experience the thrill! The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) wants people to reel one in to the side of their boat and help us with the Tarpon Genetic Recapture Study.

Tarpon DNA helps scientists learn more about the fish’s rich life history, from its anatomy to its catch history. Each year, willing anglers supply the FWC’s Fish and Wildlife Research Institute with DNA “fingerprint” data from tarpon and then release them to jump and challenge anglers another day. The FWRI especially needs DNA samples from fish larger than 30 inches hooked in northeast and northwest Florida.

“While we have a significant amount of information about tarpon in the southern portion of the state, we need more information about this fish in the north,” said FWC researcher Kathy Guindon. “As a result, for the remainder of this year we are shifting the emphasis of the Florida Guides Association-FWC Spirit of Tarpon DNA Sampling Challenge to waters from Brevard County and Pasco County north.”

Participants in the challenge have until mid-January 2015 to submit their samples. Winners will be announced later that month.

This study, ongoing since 2005, relies on data collected by anglers who submit samples and information about their catches using a free, easy-to-use tarpon DNA sampling kit. Volunteer anglers have submitted more than 19,600 samples to date. To obtain a DNA sampling kit, please call 800-367-4461 or email TarponGenetics@MyFWC.com. The FWRI collected 3,386 DNA samples from anglers last year, and staffers look forward to another productive year and hope to learn a lot more about this important marine fish.

“We owe the success of this project to the volunteer anglers who have contributed samples and to those who have supported us in their businesses and through outreach efforts. We look forward to receiving northern samples, as data from those areas will be critical in evaluating the full range of statewide movement patterns,” said Guindon.

Limited harvest starts Sept. 1 for snook, a premier Florida fish

The recreational harvest season for Florida’s premier game fish, snook, opens Sept. 1statewide. Unique to the region, snook are one of the many reasons Florida is the Fishing Capital of the World.

While the fishery is already more than 90 percent catch-and-release, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) encourages anglers to continue to use moderation when determining whether or not to take a snook home. Gulf snook populations were negatively impacted by a 2010 cold kill. Gulf snook numbers currently exceed FWC management goals but are still rebuilding to pre-cold-kill levels, which is one of the reasons why it is important to handle fish with care in this region and use moderation when determining whether or not to harvest one.

When releasing a snook, proper handling methods can help ensure the species’ abundance for anglers today and generations to come. To learn more about catch-and-release and the best way to handle a fish, visit MyFWC.com/Fishing and click on “Saltwater” then “Recreational Regulations.”

Regular season closures are designed to help protect the species during vulnerable times such as cold weather and spawning. Snook are closed to harvest Dec. 1 through the end of February andMay 1 through Aug. 31 in Gulf state and federal waters, including Monroe County and Everglades National Park. In Atlantic state and federal waters, including Lake Okeechobee and the Kissimmee River, snook is closed Dec. 15 through Jan. 31 and June 1 through Aug. 31.

Management measures such as the one-fish-per-person, per-day bag limit, annual closed seasons and size limits will help continue rebuilding snook populations on both coasts.

Minimum and maximum size limits help protect juvenile and older breeding fish within the population. In the Atlantic, snook must be not less than 28 inches and not more than 32 inches total length, which is measured from the most forward point of the head with the mouth closed to the farthest tip of the tail with the tail compressed or squeezed while the fish is lying on its side. In the Gulf, they must be not less than 28 inches and not more than 33 inches total length.

A snook permit as well as a recreational saltwater license is required unless the angler is exempt from having a license. Snook may be targeted or harvested with hook and line gear only. Snagging is prohibited.

It is illegal to buy or sell snook.

Anglers can report their catch on the Snook & Gamefish Foundation’s website atSnookFoundation.org by clicking on the Angler Action link. Researchers also ask anglers who harvest the fish to save their filleted carcasses and provide them to the FWC by dropping them off at aparticipating bait and tackle store. For the county-by-county list, go to MyFWC.com/Research and click on “Saltwater,” then “Snook” (under “Saltwater Fish”) and “Snook Anglers Asked to Help with Research.”  

These carcasses provide biological data, including the size, age, maturity and sex of the catch. This information is important to the FWC in completing stock assessments on species such as snook. If you see a snook fishery violation, please call the Wildlife Alert Program at 888-404-FWCC (3922).

Visit MyFWC.com/Fishing and click on “Saltwater Fishing” and “Recreational Regulations” for more information on snook.

Public sightings of Florida panthers, bears going strong, helping FWC biologists

Public sightings of Florida panthers, bears going strong, helping FWC biologists

When someone catches sight of a panther or black bear and reports it to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), the agency’s biologists may use that sighting to help research and manage those species.

Already, the public’s willingness to report where they see panthers and black bears in Florida is having a positive impact on what is known about where these large mammals live and reproduce in the state.

Based on two years of online public reporting of panther sightings and nearly one year of online reports of bear sightings, biologists know more about what areas of Florida provide viable habitat for these species.

A total of 1,537 Florida panther sightings were reported as of June 2014, of which 275 have been verified as panthers based on photos of the animal or its footprints. This includes the first verification of a panther sighted near the Green Swamp north of Interstate 4 in central Florida. Primarily, the verified panther sightings are in southwest Florida.

There also were a total of 2,257 Florida black bear sighting reports as of June 2014, with more than 500 of those reports containing uploaded photographs. Sightings of bears were reported in 59 of the state’s 67 counties.

The FWC continues collection of panther sightings at MyFWC.com/PantherSightings, and bear sightings at MyFWC.com/BearSightings. Here people can find information about the animals, including how to identify them, what to do or not do if they see one, and a Google map making it easy to pinpoint the sighting location.

“Someone’s excitement about seeing a Florida panther or black bear may translate into important scientific information if that sighting is reported to the FWC,” said Carol Knox, the FWC’s Imperiled Species Management section leader. “The FWC is pleased that so many people are making the effort to be citizen scientists and sharing their sightings of panthers and bears. By doing so, they are contributing to conservation of Florida’s largest land mammals.”

Soon, cooler weather will be on the way and more people will be resuming their outdoor pursuits.

“We hope people going outdoors to hunt, hike or pursue other recreational activities remember to share their bear sightings with us, particularly if it is a mother bear with cubs,” said FWC bear biologist Brian Scheick.

For a list of the many FWC wildlife sightings, surveys and hotlines in which citizen scientists are invited to participate, go to MyFWC.com/get-involved/citizen-science/.
