ISLAND SUN - JUNE 11, 2010 13 Update On Clam Bayou Oyster Reef Restoration by SCCF Marine Lab Research Assistant Sabrina Lartz and Director Loren Coen, PhD early 14 tons of fossil oyster shell has been Ndeployed in Clam Bayou to create oyster reef habitat in an SCCF (Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation) Marine Laboratory restoration project that also includes man- grove planting. More volun- teers are needed for continued efforts on Saturday, June 12 and Thursday, June 17. Loading the bagged shell at Bowman’s Beach to move it closer to Clam Bayou Earlier this year, volunteers at Bowman’s Beach helped shovel fossil shell into mesh bags. On May 11 the Marine Lab staff moved over 350 bags of shell into Clam Bayou for build- ing oyster reefs using a barge (modified from an old Jensen’s Marina pontoon boat). On May 19, a biology class from South Fort Myers High School, led by Steve Wilke, helped move 139 bags of shell, along with 63 oyster recruitment trays, into Clam Bayou. Later, on May 22nd another group from AmeriCorps, partnering with Goodwill brought teens partici- pating in a service learning continued on page 17 Moving the shell Working in the water.

Snowy Plover Nesting Update s of Friday, June 4 there were five snowy plover Anests on Sanibel, with six eggs and nine chicks. All the nests are on Sanibel’s east end. SCCF (Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation) coordinates the monitoring of snowy plover nesting on Sanibel. Snowy plovers nest on the beach. SCCF stakes protec- tive exclosures around snowy plover nests. Please do not enter the staked exclosures and keep dogs out as well. When snowy plovers are not moving, they are extremely well camouflaged. If a snowy plover is flushed from its nest, it takes very little time for Snowy plover with chick photo by Hugh McLaughlin the hot sun to damage the eggs. The snowy plover is a state-listed, threatened species on Sanibel. The most recent estimate indicates that around 200 pairs of snowy plovers remain along the west coast of Florida, from the Panhandle through Cape Sable. Snowy plover nesting season runs through August, and they can nest two or three times in one season You can learn more about snowy plovers on Sanibel at the program offered on Fridays at 10 a.m. at SCCF’s Nature Center, 3333 Sanibel-Captiva Road. After a talk about snowies, the group will carpool out to the beach to learn how to spot these elusive shorebirds in their native habitat.

Oystercatchers on an existing reef in Clam Bayou.

Lab Director Loren Coen flagging locations for reefs based on the water level. Behind him are bags of shell stacked three or four high. The water was not clear enough when these bags were placed to determine final location. Coen later returned and placed flags to indicate final locations for the shell and these bags will be moved to those locations.

From page 13 Oyster Reef mission, called Project Impact, to deploy another 215 bags to a small island in Clam Bayou. Our latest endeavor was June 5, when members of the public, using several per- sonal kayaks and canoes, moved approximately 400 bags of shell. To date, we have moved approximately 1,100 bags of shell (nearly 14 tons) and 98 oyster recruitment trays. The oyster recruitment trays will be used to compare recruitment on the new reefs relative to recruitment at other natural reef locations, including Tarpon Bay. So far 51 volunteers have helped with the deployment. You can learn more on the Web site: http://www.sccf.org/content/172/Oyster- Restoration-on-Sanibel.aspx.

Based upon the behavior of the fish he studies, Jules is certain a very large comet is going to strike earth. He plans to repopu- late the planet with the help of Jo. Problem is, these two are about as compatible as oil and water. Jules isn’t exactly sure when the impending disaster is going to happen. He breaks it down to seven minutes, more or less. Once it happens the couple is trapped in his underground lab with a strange collection of supplies, including disposable diapers, and lots of Doritos. A third character, Barbara (Tera Nicole Miller), keeps banging on a drum and raising AND BETTER BURGERS and lowering levers that have some strange power over what’s happening to Jules and Jo.

Jones’ work is more Peridot and apatite cascade by Sandy Jones structured and smaller in scale, but also with huge energy and movement. Gordon commented that her hus- band would prefer Jones’ style, and Jones commented that her husband would prefer Gordon’s – hence the idea for a joint event was born. “We thought it would be interesting for people to see how two different artists use similar materials, yet with the differences in their style and their eye, end up with work that is so very different,” said Jones and Gordon. Both women are also new to being “professional” artists. “In fact, it gives me quite a thrill when someone refers to me as an artist. Bunny and I have both been making jewelry for awhile, but have only started showing in galleries. We both love being at FINE ITALIAN CUISINE Two Islands Gallery – it’s such a supportive group of artists, and really, the art is fan- tastic.
