Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation Annual Report 2017 - 2018 Launching a New Era at the Marine Lab

Marine Lab scientists moved into the new Tarpon Bay facility on August 17, 2018.

The Coast Guard-designated Oceanographic Research Vessel, the R/V Norma Campbell will launch in the fall of 2018. What’s in a Title?

Dear Valued Members and Old Friends, Titles come and titles go, but a committed and supportive relationship lasts forever. January 2019 will be here shortly, and my title as SCCF’s Chief Executive Officer will be handed to Ryan Orgera. After the successful search described in the President’s Letter, I am thrilled we found our new CEO. Ryan and I are working shoulder to shoulder to make this torch passing as seamless as possible. I would also like to announce that, once again this year, SCCF has been awarded the coveted Four Star rating from Charity Navigator, one of only four environmental organizations in Florida so honored. Although I will be moving on after 32 years from my leadership role at SCCF, please know I am retaining several SCCF titles. I will be holding onto the titles of Member and Donor. With more available post-retirement time, I even plan to add a new title – Volunteer. I look forward to lending a hand, whether it’s the occasional Hammerhead project, or supporting new initiatives for which my old fundraising chops could prove useful. There is just no way to distill down more than three decades of incredible achievements and cherished memories, so I won’t try to do so here. It has been my great honor to serve SCCF’s membership and be entrusted with carrying out its mission. For those gifts, you all have my sincere thanks and gratitude. I am also grateful that many of the most important chapters of my life took place against the SCCF backdrop. I came to work here when Ellen and I had two small children. Lars and Jenny are now all grown up and, in loving partnership with their spouses Erin and Heath, have given us five wonderful grandsons. It is my fervent hope that the challenges SCCF fights to overcome will ensure a safer and more beautiful environment for Logan, Palmer, Hunter, Mach, Archer and their generation. Looking forward, I do have a request for my fellow Members, Donors and Volunteers. Please join me in continuing to give your time, talent and treasure to SCCF. You will never find a more hardworking, talented and passionate staff – nor a more dedicated group of Trustees – and they need all our help to keep doing what they’re doing. They’ll have mine and I trust they’ll have yours. As I write this, I’m still the CEO, so I can’t end this annual report letter without asking you to use the enclosed envelope to support SCCF’s programs and operations through June 30, 2019. Ellen and I are sending our gift in right now.

Cheers,

Erick Lindblad Chief Executive Officer

1 From our President

Dear SCCF Supporters and Neighbors:

The Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2018, was a momentous year for SCCF in many ways. SCCF embarked on its second 50 years in service to the conservation of coastal habitats and aquatic resources on Sanibel and Captiva and in the surrounding watershed. We have been blessed with many wonderful volunteers and staff over the years who have executed this mission; foremost in my mind is Erick Lindblad who has for more than three decades provided outstanding and passionate leadership to SCCF as its Executive Director and now as its Chief Executive Officer. One cannot adequately put into words the debt of gratitude that SCCF and its long list of Trustees and volunteers owe to Erick. In a very real sense, Erick and SCCF grew up professionally together over the past 32 years. When one reviews last year’s Annual Report titled SCCF 50 celebrating “50 Years of Preserving Paradise,” one understands what SCCF has accomplished and what its importance is to this community of barrier islands. Although Erick would be the first to deflect the credit, all of this was accomplished under Erick’s leadership and in most cases as a result of his significant personal efforts. Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end and Erick will retire as CEO on January 1, 2019. He decided this over 18 months ago in large part so that he and his wife, Ellen, could spend more time with their five grandsons. The Board and its officers have been quietly working since his decision was announced to form a CEO Search Committee toward the goal of not finding a replacement for Erick (as that would be impossible) but rather finding his successor. The Search Committee was chaired by Vice President Doug Ryckman, who did an absolutely fantastic job at every step. Other members were Gwenda Hiett-Clements, immediate past President; Tom Rathbone, Treasurer; Linda Uhler, Secretary; two past Presidents: Paul Roth and Ron Gibson; Development Director Cheryl Giattini and myself. The Search Committee spent many hours interviewing the Trustees and senior staff to update SCCF’s strategic plan and get input into the necessary attributes of our ideal candidate. After receiving and sorting through more than 70 applications the successful candidate was chosen. You will have the opportunity to wish Erick well and meet the new CEO, Ryan Orgera, at a December 8 Bailey Homestead Preserve Open House and at the SCCF Annual Meeting on December 11 at the Nature Center. Thank you all for your support and the confidence you have provided to SCCF over the years. We could not have done it without you.

Sincerely,

John R. Morse President

Sea Turtles and Red Tide As of press time, sea turtles are still washing up dead on Sanibel and Captiva beaches. Between October 2017 and mid-September, 192 sea turtles had stranded on San-Cap beaches. Of those, 33 were alive and sent for treatment to CROW and other facilities. More about sea turtles on Page 10.

The toxins from these blooms have been linked to Alzheimer's, ALS and Parkinson's diseases. SCCF policy staff moderated a panel of scientists from the documentary film,Toxic Puzzle, that established the connections between toxins and disease.

Solutions The solutions to these situations are a combination of projects and policies we continue to fight for. Everglades restoration is a fundamental solution for excess water and this past year great strides have been made in passing legislation to approve the Everglades Agricultural Area reservoir that will provide capacity to move water south out of the lake, reducing estuary discharges and providing needed water for Everglades National Park and Florida Bay (see map on Page 6).

Fixing Water Quality The common denominator in the pair of devastating blooms this year is poor water quality and it's the direct result of years of state agencies and the legislature rolling back water quality standards, cutting agency science staff and reducing enforcement. The solution is preventing poor water quality: a more cost-effective and efficient approach than trying to clean up blooms.

8 Marine Lab: Restoring Oyster Reefs Finally, we have been planning and implementing restoration projects in the waters surrounding Sanibel and Captiva. The SCCF Marine Lab leads any organization in the greater Charlotte Harbor ecosystem in the acres of oyster reef habitat restored. We have restored 3 acres of habitat in San Carlos Bay and Tarpon Bay since 2016. We also restored 0.25 acres in Estero Bay in 2018. Plans are being made for the restoration of 20 additional acres in San Carlos Bay, Tarpon Bay and Pine Island Sound by 2025 which will increase the abundance of filter-feeding oysters, which can filter 50 gallons per individual per day. This will clear water around the reefs and allow seagrass to thrive and expand.

Top: Volunteers from the Ding Darling Refuge staff helped move fossil shell to the oyster restoration site in Tarpon Bay Above: A large degraded oyster reef was restored in San Car- los Bay in 2018. A grant from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission funded a contractor to deliver 750 tons of fossil shell to the reef to provide substrate for oyster spat.

In what was once a sand bar in Tarpon Bay, the Marine Lab’s oyster restoration efforts with volunteers have cre- ated a large oyster reef (1 acre). This is one of 10 reefs restored during the past 10 years Goundwater / Devitt Pond -- Continued from lett vessels and determined the effect on invertebrates and seagrass compared to control areas with no anchoring. The staff also sampled groundwater and surface water lakes and ponds on Sanibel. This sample collection and data analysis was sponsored by the City of Sanibel in support of the Community for Clean Water program. An observation by Marine Lab Research Associate Mark Thompson was that the Devitt Pond at the Bailey Homestead Preserve was elevated in nitrogen and phosphorus. He established groundwater wells between the Donax wastewater treatment plant and the Devitt Pond and found a gradient of nutrients, suggesting that there was much more interconnectivity between ponds and lakes (and wastewater percolation ponds) than previously thought. The Donax treatment plant was funded for a major upgrade to advanced treatment removing 70% of the nitrogen before the effluent is discharged. This $7M upgrade was partially from the science and research by the SCCF Marine Laboratory on groundwater, surface water and re-use water.

The study of the location of Red Tide off of Sanibel was enhanced through our visiting scientists and the use of Wilmeth Cottage. Our research at the Marine Lab remains focused on the timing and delivery of flows to the estuary and their ecological effects. Lab staff has been monitoring the blue-green algae bloom in the freshwater Caloosahatchee from Lake Okeechobee to Shell Point that started in June 2018. A month later, the unusually severe Red Tide bloom intensified along the beaches throughout southwest Florida, killing millions of fish. Our routine studies of seagrass, algae, and oyster reefs were used to describe the condition of the estuary before during and after these events. In addition, the Marine Lab remains focused on research and restoration of marine habitats, including oyster reefs, seagrass, and mangroves. More Lab Projects on Page 14 9 Sea Turtles in 2018 The 2018 sea turtle nesting season started with great excitement when a very rare Kemp’s ridley nest was laid on April 16, the second day of sea turtle season! Sadly, this good news was soon overshadowed by an unprecedented mortality event caused by two coinciding water crises (red tide and blue green algae). Between October 2017, when the red tide bloom started, and mid September, 192 sea turtles were found stranded on the beaches or in waters surrounding Sanibel and Captiva. For perspective, an average of 30-35 strandings is typically reported in an entire year. Most (159) were dead and 33 were found alive and taken to CROW for treatment. The persistent red tide impacted an unprecedented number of sea turtles both locally and regionally, with 953 strandings documented in Southwest Florida since the start of the bloom through mid-September. Of the 192 reported on Sanibel and Captiva, 125 were mature adults or subadults (almost reproductive See Sea Turtles on Page 14 Left: Dee Serage and Nancy Riley counting the eggs of a hatched nest.

11 Wildlife & Habitat Management Land Management Land management staff was very busy in late 2017 and early 2018 dealing with debris clean-up of SCCF properties from Hurricane Irma. Although the structures at SCCF were unharmed from the hurricane, the trails and fire lines on conservation lands were littered with trees and branches. It took many months of effort and help from some dedicated volunteers to get these trails passable again. Exotic vegetation control is a constant battle on our properties due to adjacent seed sources as well as seeds in the ground from previous invasions. Habitat management staff makes annual or sometimes biannual sweeps (on some properties) to stop the spread of exotic vegetation. Prescribed fire is another technique used to keep our native habitats healthy. Although, there were no controlled fires in 2017 on Sanibel due to unfavorable weather conditions during our burn window, we are diligently looking for burn opportunities in 2018. Approximately 100 Australian pine trees were removed or treated in place in early 2018 from the north side of the Sanibel Highlands Preserve along a waterway attached to the Sanibel River. Funds for this were provided by the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission. Charles LeBuff Assists Wildlife & Habitat Management Charles LeBuff, founder of Caretta Research (our sea turtle program predecessor) and inaugural SCCF Trustee in 1967, assisted habitat management staff this past summer by flying his drone over the Center Tract to document restoration efforts. In 2017, See LeBuff on Page 14

Turtles and Terrapins Diamondback Terrapins SCCF biologists are conducting research diamondback terrapins on lands and waterways owned by SCCF, J. N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge, and Lee County Parks and Recreation to locate, study, and help protect populations of these elusive turtles. Diamondback terrapins, brackish water turtles found in mangrove areas in southwest Florida, are habitat specialists that are threatened by crab traps (through drowning) and the international pet trade. SCCF is providing valuable information to the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission

for their statewide study on terrapin populations that may lead to their full protection in the state. Above left: Charles LeBuff maneuvering his drone. Left: Terrapin release at the Refuge

University of Florida/SCCF Ephemeral Turtle Study SCCF collaborated with Wes Boone, the Ph.D. student from the University of Florida who is conducting the study of the Sanibel rice rat, on a study of the ephemeral turtles (Florida chicken turtle (Deirochelys reticularia chrysea), Florida mud turtle (Kinosternon subrubrum steindachneri) and to some extent the striped mud turtle (Kinosternon bauri) on Sanibel. Ephemeral turtles aestivate (remain dormant underground) during the heat of summer mixed when there is little water remaining in wetlands. These turtles emerge from aestivation after the summer rains have filled in temporary (ephemeral) wetlands. Striped mud turtles (Kinosternon bauri) were the most common turtle caught in our first year of trapping as they are the least likely species of the three to aestivate. The purpose of this study is to look at population density and site use of these rarely seen turtles.

Box Turtles The SCCF Florida Box Turtle Project received funding to expand its effort to monitor box turtle populations on Sanibel with radio telemetry. In late 2018, SCCF will start collecting home range data on box turtles in three distinct habitats on Sanibel (Gulf beach ridge zone, mid-island ridge zone/interior wetland basin zone, and golf course). Box turtles are relatively small (up to 7 inches) semi- aquatic (or semi-terrestrial) turtles that have very long life spans (>100 years recorded), and somewhat small home ranges (usually less than two acres). From prior data collection, we have noticed a difference in body size (CL = carapace length) and striping (camouflage for hiding) on the carapaces of turtles from each end of the island likely A Florida box turtle races for cover as the heat due to habitat differences. starts to build in mid-morning.

With the help of permittees (who are residents on these islands), we have been able to respond to sightings quickly and efficiently to add information to our dataset while educating others that may be watching the processing of these rare and protected animals. Increased signage, t-shirts depicting the project, pamphlet handouts and educational talks have helped the cause of preserving eastern indigo snakes in Pine Island Sound. Public awareness of the project and the understanding the uniqueness of our Pine Island Sound eastern indigo snake populations will help us to sustain these remaining populations on islands in Florida.

Sea Turtles -- Continued from Page 10 age), representing a significant impact on an already stressed population of animals where only one in 1,000 hatchlings survive to reach reproductive maturity at around 25-30 years of age. The 2018 nesting counts were slightly lower than last year but still well above the 22 year average. Our hatch rate was noticeably high this season and as of mid-September over 33,700 hatchlings had reached the sea from the 721 nests laid on Sanibel and Captiva (718 loggerhead, 2 green turtles, and one Kemp’s ridley). The rare Kemp’s ridley nest was a distinct highlight of our season and it produced 34 hatchlings, even after suffering impacts from Tropical Storm Alberto! The 2018 nesting staff included Technician Jack Brzoza and Intern Katie Goulder. This year’s tagging team consisted of Tagging Supervisor Andrew Glinsky and Interns Courtney Thomson and Lia Kerkes. Among their accomplishments are: 144 new individuals identified, 18 remigrants observed (turtles seen in previous years), one satellite tagged green sea turtle (Dellora), and a new project investigating the influence of groundwater on nest temperature, moisture, and potentially hatchling sex ratios. We are constantly responding to shifting challenges and our amazing team of volunteers continues to meet these changes with positivity and flexibility. In addition to our energetic team of nesting volunteers, we also trained a new group of volunteers to assist with stranding response during this particularly demanding red tide event. Our heartfelt thanks go out to all of our volunteers for their dedication and commitment to sea turtle conservation. We are also grateful for the enthusiastic support from our 127 Adopt A Beach participants, whose generous contributions kept us afloat this season as our resources were stretched thin.

Built by Navocean, the sailboat was deployed in December 2017 as part of an effort to understand the size of the patches of Karenia brevis, the organism that is responsible for Red Tide. The results showed various patches of high chlorophyll a, and allowed the research team from Navocean and Mote Marine Laboratory to demonstrate the effectiveness of the technology. Additional sampling is done by Dr. Rick Bartleson and volunteers, who collect water along the beaches to count the number of Karenia cells per liter of seawater. Many of our staff are out in the community and talking to television, magazine and newspaper journalists. During the summer of 2018, Lab and Policy staff were interviewed by local and national media to describe the unprecedented amount of stranded marine life and dead fish scattered throughout the region. We are also presenting at scientific conferences, including at the Coastal Estuary and Research Federation in Providence, RI in November 2017. We published our work in Estuaries Coastal and Shelf Science and in a collection of oyster mapping and monitoring chapters from around the state for the Florida FWC. We are looking forward to next year in our new Marine Laboratory facility and where we will be expanding our research capabilities through the acquisition of new equipment, including a nutrient analyzer and imaging flow cytometer. We also are looking forward to expanding our research to the Gulf of Mexico with our new 32’ research vessel, the R/V Norma Campbell. From all of us at the lab, Thank You for your volunteer time to help with restoration and Red Tide research projects and Thank You for those that have supported us through gifts and grants. See you at the Annual Meeting! See more Marine Lab Projects on Page 18 15 WQ

Native Landscapes & Garden Center The Native Landscapes & Garden Center offered several popular classes, tours, and workshops to over 300 participants this year! Classes focused on hands-on activities, including floral arranging with natives, honey sampling, “Make Your Own Native Container Garden,” and “Build Your Own Bee Box.” Enthusiastic participants even traveled to Sarasota for a gardening themed theatrical production called “Native Gardens.” The Native Landscapes & Garden Center hosted six interns this year, coming from all four corners of the United States. While SCCF gives all its interns hands- on training in horticulture, biology, ecology, and conservation to these recent college graduates, the interns come with their enthusiasm and willingness to work hard. Much of the Garden Center’s daily tasks would not be accomplished without their help, and their efforts are greatly appreciated! In addition to Landscaping for Wildlife housecalls, our staff designed and installed over 30 landscapes this year, regularly maintained approximately 25 private yards and City parks, and kept our two acres of demonstration gardens looking beautiful at the Bailey Homestead Preserve. Our customers purchased over 13,500 plants and over 3,500 bags of mulch or bales of pine straw...all of which is enhancing our native landscapes and increasing our support to local wildlife one yard at a time.

Our Landscaping for Wildlife housecall program is more popular than ever, reaching 55 households this past year. Members of SCCF may request a personalized consultation for their property, where Garden Center staff give recommendations for native plantings, identify unknown species, and suggest ways to improve wildlife habitat in their yards.

In the Native Landscapes & Garden Center, our biggest event of the year was named Irma! While Hurricane Irma spared our equipment and structures, we had significant damage to some of our trees and newly installed demonstration landscapes here at the Bailey Homestead. The Native Landscapes & Garden Center was closed for three weeks in order to clean up adequately, and we were extremely thankful for several dozen volunteers who came out and helped with clearing downed vegetation. With their assistance, we were then able to concentrate on chainsawing mature fallen trees as well as straightening and staking smaller trees that was essential for reopening safely to visitors.

“As the oldest locally owned and managed community bank in Lee County and on the islands, Bank of the Islands/Edison National Bank cares deeply about the natural beauty of Southwest Florida. “Especially now, when we have witnessed unprecedented challenges to our water, beaches and marine life, it is a great comfort to know SCCF stands strong in its environmental stewardship. “For more than five decades, SCCF has been a leader in fighting to keep our islands and this region so special. We are honored to be one of their partners in making that happen.” Geoffrey Roepstorff CEO, Bank of the Islands/Edison National Bank
