  • Your Guide to Eating Fish Caught in Florida
    Fish Consumption Advisories are published periodically by the Your Guide State of Florida to alert consumers about the possibility of chemically contaminated fish in Florida waters. To Eating The advisories are meant to inform the public of potential health risks of specific fish species from specific Fish Caught water bodies. In Florida February 2019 Florida Department of Health Prepared in cooperation with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and Agriculture and Consumer Services, and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission 2019 Florida Fish Advisories • Table 1: Eating Guidelines for Fresh Water Fish from Florida Waters (based on mercury levels) page 1-50 • Table 2: Eating Guidelines for Marine and Estuarine Fish from Florida Waters (based on mercury levels) page 51-52 • Table 3: Eating Guidelines for species from Florida Waters with Heavy Metals (other than mercury), Dioxin, Pesticides, Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), or Saxitoxin Contamination page 53-54 Eating Fish is an important part of a healthy diet. Rich in vitamins and low in fat, fish contains protein we need for strong bodies. It is also an excellent source of nutrition for proper growth and development. In fact, the American Heart Association recommends that you eat two meals of fish or seafood every week. At the same time, most Florida seafood has low to medium levels of mercury. Depending on the age of the fish, the type of fish, and the condition of the water the fish lives in, the levels of mercury found in fish are different. While mercury in rivers, creeks, ponds, and lakes can build up in some fish to levels that can be harmful, most fish caught in Florida can be eaten without harm.

  • Annual Report of Activities Conducted Under the Cooperative Aquatic Plant Control Program in Florida Public Waters for Fiscal Year 2012-2013
    Annual Report of Activities Conducted under the Cooperative Aquatic Plant Control Program in Florida Public Waters for Fiscal Year 2012-2013 Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Invasive Plant Management Section Submitted by: FL Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Invasive Plant Management Section 3900 Commonwealth Blvd. MS705 Tallahassee, FL 32399 Phone: 850-617-9420 Fax: 850-922-1249 Annual Report of Activities Conducted under the Cooperative Aquatic Plant Control Program in Florida Public Waters for Fiscal Year 2012-2013 This report was prepared in accordance with §369.22 (7), Florida Statutes, to provide an annual summary of plants treated and funding necessary to manage aquatic plants in public waters. The Cooperative Aquatic Plant Control Program administered by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) in Florida’s public waters involves complex operational and financial interactions between state, federal and local governments as well as private sector companies. FWC’s aquatic plant management program mission is to reduce negative impacts from invasive nonindigenous plants like water hyacinth, water lettuce and hydrilla to conserve the multiple uses and functions of public lakes and rivers. Invasive plants infest 96% of Florida’s 451 public waters inventoried in 2013 that comprise 1.26 million acres of fresh water. Once established, eradicating invasive plants is difficult or impossible and very expensive; therefore, continuous maintenance is critical to keep invasive plants at low levels to

  • 2011 Everglade Snail Kite Nesting Summary
    2011 Everglade Snail Kite nesting summary Troubling news in the Everglades region and Lake Okeechobee Kites suffered greatly in their critical habitats Lake Okeechobee and WCAs this year due to abnormally low water levels. There were 28 successful nests in Lake Okeechobee and the Everglades region in 2011. These areas are much larger than the Kissimmee Chain and are needed to sustain the long-term population viability of Kites, yet held far fewer nests. Photo Courtesy of Chuck Hanlon These shallow habitats are susceptible to short and long term impacts from droughts, like The Everglade Snail Kite (Kite), one of only three those in 2001, 2007, 2008, and now, 2011. Total System-Wide Performance Measures for the Lake Okeechobee’s littoral zone was bone dry in late Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan, has May 2011. Photo Courtesy of Paul Gray experienced an astonishing population decline in the past dozen years, decreasing from 3400 individuals to less than 700 today. Population models predict that if current trends continue, this iconic Florida species could become functionally extinct in a matter of 20 to 30 years. Because of the Kite’s low population, a successful Kite nesting season is crucial for the survival of the species. The 2011 nesting season for the Everglade Snail Kite had mixed results. Kites had a fairly successful year in the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes region. However, the news in the two most important nesting areas, Lake Okeechobee and the water conservation areas (WCAs) in the Everglades region, remains troubling. Table 1 depicts a preliminary assessment should take researchers until March 2012 to of the results, pending an official summary that complete.

Acknowledging all the help we received is not possible. Thus we necessarily restrict this list to certain people who contributed in significant ways. The SFWMD can be commended for their expansive research and monitoring programs around Lake Okeechobee. Dr. Karl E. Havens (now at the University of Florida) and Dr. Susan Gray of the SFWMD’s Lake Okeechobee Division have been indispensable in conducting research and disseminating results about the lake and its environment.

The three-day workshop facilitated that discussion and identified ways that the area can proactively plan for growth while preserving the community’s heritage and unique qualities. Residents were offered the chance to discuss these growth pressures, offer feedback on opportunities and values, identify an overall vision, work hand-in-hand with illustrators to develop concepts for integrating growth and development opportunities, and ultimately create an illustrative plan framework physically embodying this vision.
