HURRICANES What is a hurricane? A hurricane is a tropical cyclone with a defined circulation and sustained winds of 74 miles per hour (65 knots) or greater in the North Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico, and the eastern North Pacific Ocean. This same tropical cyclone is known as a typhoon in the western Pacific and a cyclone in the Indian Ocean.
Where can I get real-time advisories for hurricanes/tropical storms? Travel advisories at www.VISITFLORIDA.com provide visitors with real-time information from local tourism officials and links to advisories from these state and national sources: • www.nhc.noaa.gov • www.nws.noaa.gov
What months are considered hurricane season? The Atlantic hurricane season is officially June 1 to November 30. The peak of the season is from mid-August to mid-October.
Should we cancel travel plans during hurricane season? VISIT FLORIDA clearly understands that some people have concerns about the possible impact a hurricane could have on a planned vacation. It is always wise when making travel plans during hurricane season to check with airlines, hotels, car rental companies, etc. to find out how they inform their guests when a hurricane is approaching, what actions they plan to take, and what refund policies they have in place. Once again, it is important to point out that a direct hit to any one particular destination by a major hurricane is an extremely rare event.
What do travelers do if they are in Florida and a hurricane is approaching? The safety of Florida's visitors is a priority to everyone who works in the tourism industry. VISIT FLORIDA works closely with the Florida Division of Emergency Management, local tourism offices throughout the state, as well as local, state and national media to ensure visitors have access to accurate and timely information that will help them make the most informed travel planning decisions possible. Visitors are encouraged to go to VISITFLORIDA.com to follow the latest weather and travel updates, in addition to staying tuned to local television and radio stations. If visitors are asked to evacuate from coastal areas, please follow the instructions of the emergency response officials.
What regions around the globe have hurricanes? Hurricanes develop over tropical or subtropical waters around the world. There are seven tropical cyclone areas (basins) where storms occur: • Atlantic basin (North Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea) • Northeast Pacific basin (from Mexico to the dateline) • Northwest Pacific basin (from the dateline to Asia) • North Indian basin (including the Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea) • Southwest India basin (Africa) • Southeast Indian/Australian basin • Australian/Southwest Pacific basin
Why are hurricanes named? Who names them? The National Hurricane Center is responsible for naming tropical cyclones in the Atlantic basin. Hurricanes are named to provide ease of communication and reduce confusion between forecasters and the general public regarding forecasts, watches and warnings.
What is the "eye" of the storm? What are rain bands? The hurricane's core is called the "eye." The winds closest to the eye, typically averaging about 60 miles from the center of the storm, are the strongest and bring the most potential for damage. Rain bands, or outer spiral bands, are the bands of clouds and thunderstorms that trail away from the eye wall in a spiral fashion and are capable of producing heavy bursts of rain and wind. The spiral bands also make hurricanes appear to cover a

much larger area with damaging winds than they really do. This is the reason why damage during strong storms does not cover the entire area the storm passes over. How are hurricane categories determined? What do they mean? The strength of hurricanes is rated using the Saffir/Simpson scale in the United States. This scale assigns a storm to one of five categories based on its wind speed. Category one is a minimal hurricane and category five is the strongest. Using this scale helps estimate the potential property damage and expected coastal flooding from a hurricane. Categories are determined by Maximum Sustained Winds as follows: • Category 1. 74-95 mph • Category 2. 96-110 mph • Category 3. 111-130 mph • Category 4. 131-155 mph • Category 5. 156+ mph
TROPICAL STORMS/DEPRESSIONS What is a tropical disturbance? A tropical disturbance is an organized system of clouds and thunderstorms without a defined circulation.
What is a tropical depression? A tropical depression is an organized system of clouds and thunderstorms with a circular wind circulation and maximum sustained winds less than 39 mph.
What is a tropical storm? A tropical storm is an organized system of strong thunderstorms with defined circulation and maximum sustained winds of 39 to 73 mph.
What is the difference - tropical storm watch, tropical storm warning, hurricane watch, hurricane warning? A tropical storm watch is issued when tropical storm conditions, including winds from 39-73 mph, pose a possible threat to a specified coastal area within 48 hours, and a warning when tropical storm conditions are expected within 36 hours or less. A hurricane watch is issued when hurricane conditions are expected within 48 hours, and a warning when a hurricane with sustained winds of 74 mph or higher is expected in a specified coastal area in 36 hours or less. If a warning or watch is issued, visitors should begin preliminary preparations for potential landfall and stay tuned to radio and TV for official weather and evacuation updates.
In what ways do hurricanes and tropical storms actually help Florida's environment? According to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, hurricanes and tropical storms: • Help to scrub harmful algae from coral reefs • Prune dead limbs from trees allowing sunlight to penetrate the forest floor • Deposit sand atop and on the backside of barrier islands, which elevates them, keeping islands from becoming a sand bar • Moderate global temperature • Produce rain that helps refill the aquifer • Increases the water flow in natural springs • Rehydrates dried out wetlands that benefit wildlife • Downed trees are good for the scrub jays, increasing the endangered species' habitat.
RED TIDE What is a Florida red tide? A red tide is a higher-than-normal concentration of a microscopic alga (plant-like organisms). In Florida, the species that causes most red tides is Karenia brevis (K. brevis). This organism produces a toxin that can affect the central nervous system of fish. At high concentrations (called a bloom), the organisms may discolor the water. However, red tides are not always red. They can appear greenish, brownish, and even purple in color. The water can even remain its normal color during a bloom.

Is red tide a new phenomenon? No, it is not a new phenomenon. Red tides have been documented along Florida's gulf coast since the 1840s and probably occurred much earlier.
Can red tides be predicted? Currently, red tides can’t be predicted, but researchers are investigating the possibility. The effects of a red tide (e.g., dead fish and respiratory irritation in people) depend on the location and concentration of the red tide microorganism at a given time. The effects also depend on wind speed and direction. It is important to realize that many people still enjoy the beaches during red tides. Respiratory irritation and dead fish are not always present.
Do red tides occur anywhere else? Yes, red tide organisms occur elsewhere. Although the organism that causes Florida's red tide is found almost exclusively in the Gulf of Mexico, blooms have been found off the east coast of Florida, and a bloom was detected off the coast of North Carolina in 1987. Scientists believe the Florida Current and Gulf Stream Current carried K. brevis out of the Gulf of Mexico, around South Florida, and up to the Carolina coast. Other types of microorganisms cause different kinds of red tides (now called harmful algae blooms) in other parts of the world as well.
How is red tide related to respiratory irritation? Some people may experience respiratory irritation (coughing, sneezing, and tearing) when the red tide organism (K. brevis) is present along a coast and winds blow its toxic aerosol onshore. People with severe or chronic respiratory conditions (such as emphysema or asthma) are advised to avoid red tide areas. Generally, symptoms are temporary and disappear within hours.
Is swimming ok? Yes, for most people. However, in some people, red tide can cause skin irritation and burning eyes. Use common sense – if you are particularly susceptible to irritation from plant products, avoid red tide water. If you experience irritation, get out thoroughly wash off. Do not swim among dead fish because they can be associated with harmful bacteria.
Does cooking destroy the red tide toxin? No, cooking does not destroy the red tide toxin.
Is it okay to eat shellfish during a red tide? No, shellfish should not be eaten during a red tide. If a shellfish-harvesting ban is in effect, it is not safe to eat mollusks (e.g. clams and oysters). However, edible parts of other animals commonly called shellfish (e.g. crabs, shrimp, and lobsters) are not affected by the red tide organism and can be eaten.
Which shellfish are included in a shellfish-harvesting ban? Harvesting of bivalve mollusks such as clams, oysters, and coquinas is banned during red tides.
Is it okay to eat fish, crabs, or shrimp during a red tide? Yes, fish, crabs, and shrimp can be eaten during a red tide because the toxin is not absorbed in the edible tissues of these animals. However, if a red tide is in the area, eating distressed or dead animals is discouraged because the reason for the animal’s strange behavior or death cannot be absolutely known. It could be something unrelated to red tide.
Is it okay to eat scallops during a red tide? Yes, as long as you only eat the muscle of the scallop. Do not eat whole animals.
Where can I find more information about red tides? This information was provided by the Fish & Wildlife Research Institute, which is the official information source for Red Tide. For additional information on red tide, visit the Fish and Wildlife Research Institute web site.

RIP CURRENTS What are rip currents? Rip currents are narrow, channeled water currents flowing away from the shore at surf beaches.
Where are rip currents formed? Rip currents are commonly formed at low spots or breaks in sandbars and also near structures such as piers and jetties.
How do you identify rip currents? Identifying a rip current is not always easy for the common beachgoer. The clues listed below may not always indicate the presence of rip currents, but you should be aware of this surf zone hazard for your safety. The clues are as follows: • A channel of churning, choppy water • A color change in a particular area • A line of seaweed, foam or debris moving gradually towards the sea • A break in the incoming wave pattern
When are rip currents most dangerous? As the wave height and wave period increases during high surf conditions, rip currents are more likely to be dangerous. Rip currents can be found on surf beaches every day at any time.
Do rip currents pull people under water? No, rip currents pull people away from the shore not under water. It flows horizontal in an offshore direction.
If you are caught in a rip current, what should you do? Don’t panic. Be calm and begin to swim parallel to the shoreline. When out of the current, swim to the shore. If you can’t swim out of the current, float or tread water. Face the shore, wave your hands and yell for help if it is impossible for you to reach the shore. Remember to remain calm.
Should you attempt to rescue a rip current victim yourself? No, many people die trying to save others. Immediately call 9-1-1 if a lifeguard is not available. Throw the victim a flotation device if possible.
How do you avoid rip currents? • Always be alert and precautious at the beach. The following tips will help you be safe at in the water: • Learn to swim. Many victims of rip currents are weak or non-swimmers. • Always have a swimming buddy. • Learn to swim in surf; if you’ll be in surf…It is not like swimming in a pool or lake. • Swim near a lifeguard • Check signs and flags for beach conditions. Also check with a lifeguard and obey his/her instructions. • If you are not sure, don’t go in the water
Are rip tides and rip currents different? Yes. Rip currents are commonly referred to as rip tides, but it is a major misconception. There are several terms used to identify rip currents such as: undertow and runouts. Different locations use different names, but he National Weather Service, Sea Grant and the USLA are making an effort to create common terminology so that there will be no confusion or underestimation.
For additional information on rip currents, please visit the National Weather Service, Rip Current Safety web site.

SHARK ENCOUNTERS What are the chances of a shark encounter? The chances of a shark encounter are very small compared to other animal encounters, natural disasters and ocean-side dangers. Most shark attacks are simply due to mistaken identity. Worldwide there is an average of 50-70 shark attacks every year. With a U.S. population of about 300 million, the odds of being attacked by a shark in the United States are roughly 1 in 10 million.
Where do shark encounters usually occur? Most encounters occur in or near shore waters, typically inshore of a sandbar or between sandbars where sharks feed and can become trapped at low tide. Areas with steep drop-offs are also likely sites for an encounter. Sharks congregate there because their natural food items also congregate in these areas.
How can I avoid a shark encounter? Although the relative risk of a shark encounter is very small, risks should always be minimized whenever possible in any activity. The chances of having an interaction with a shark can be reduced if one heeds the following advice: • Always stay in groups since sharks are more likely to attack a solitary individual. • Do not wander too far from shore -- this isolates an individual and additionally places one far away from assistance. • Avoid being in the water during darkness or twilight hours when sharks are most active and have a competitive sensory advantage. • Do not enter the water if bleeding from an open wound or if menstruating --- a shark's olfactory ability is acute. • Wearing shiny jewelry is discouraged because the reflected light resembles the sheen of fish scales. • Avoid waters with known effluents or sewage and those being used by sport or commercial fisherman, especially if there are signs of bait fishes or feeding activity. Diving seabirds are good indicators of such action. • Sightings of porpoises do not indicate the absence of sharks --- both often eat the same food items. • Use extra caution when waters are murky and avoid uneven tanning and bright colored clothing --- sharks see contrast particularly well. • Refrain from excess splashing and do not allow pets in the water because of their erratic movements. • Exercise caution when occupying the area between sandbars or near steep drop-offs --- these are favorite hangouts for sharks. • Do not enter the water if sharks are known to be present and evacuate the water if sharks are seen while there. And, of course, do not harass a shark if you see one!
Are sharks dangerous? Of the over 375 different species of sharks found in the world's oceans, only about 30 have been reported to ever attack a human. Of these, only about a dozen should be considered particularly dangerous when encountered. The shark species responsible for most unprovoked attacks on humans are the white, tiger, and bull. However, all sharks, large and small, are predators and could be capable of inflicting wounds if provoked. They should all be treated with respect when encountered.

Beach Information Amelia Island's beaches have long been a source of beauty, enjoyment and wonder, and unlike many Florida beaches, Amelia Island offers virtually unlimited access to its coast. Visitors will experience an unparalleled sense of calm and peace as they stroll along the 13 miles of pristine beach. Amelia Island’s entire length along the Atlantic Coast is available for running, walking or just sitting and enjoying.
Prohibited Alcoholic beverages, littering, glass containers, overnight camping within city limits, unleashed animals, fishing line that interferes with general public use, Parking of vehicles unless in designated area. It is also unlawful for any person to bathe, swim, or wash in any body of water within the city limits, naked or insufficiently clothed.
Pets All pets are to remain leashed at all times and owner must clean up after your pet.
Horses No horses are allowed inside city limits or north of Sadler Road Beach Access at any time. They are allowed south of Sadler Road Beach Access during the months of May through October between 5pm and sunset and sunrise until 11am. During the months of November through April horses are allowed south of Sadler Road Access within designated area and remain off dunes and vegetation. Exceptions for horses on the beach are for commercial business with permits.
Sea Turtles The City of Fernandina Beach has enacted a lighting ordinance restricting artificial beachfront lighting between sunset and sunrise from May 1 through October 31. Call the Amelia Island Sea Turtle Watch at 904-583-1913 to report any disturbed or disoriented hatchlings, or any dead or injured sea turtles. www.ameliaislandseaturtlewatch.com
Lifeguards Lifeguards are stationed along main areas of beaches on Amelia Island roughly during the months between Memorial Day and Labor Day. The towers are staffed during daytime hours weather permitting. All hazard flags should not be ignored and swimming should always be done by using the buddy system.
Riptides A rip tide, or undertow, is a small but strong channel of water moving out to sea. Rip tides are characterized by darker, deeper and foamier water, sometimes with floating debris. The area where the rip is, is usually calm with a rippled surface and smaller waves. If you get caught in a rip tide, remain calm, and do not swim directly against it. Instead, swim parallel to shore until you are past the current, and then swim toward the shore.
Sea Oats and Sand Dunes Please do not pick sea oats, walk, or drive on the dunes. This is a Florida State law.
Seaweed (Sargassum) Seaweed washes ashore each summer and is a welcome visitor to Amelia Island. A naturally-occurring process, seaweed helps to preserve Amelia Island’s wide beaches by preventing erosion and extending the sandy surface of the barrier island.
Seaweed is a brown algae containing air pockets allowing it to float on the surface of the sea. Seaweed typically washes up on the beach beginning in June thanks to winds, currents, and wave action. An unpleasant look and smell sometimes results when it begins to decompose in the sun but it is a vital part of Amelia Island’s beach ecosystem. During high tide it is pushed back to the dunes where it dries and traps blowing sand, helping to build the sand dunes and providing a base for other plant life.
Seaweed is typically not removed from Amelia Island beaches. The benefits of leaving the beach in its natural state far outweigh the desire for the look of a manicured beach. Allowing seaweed to remain on the beach facilitates its re- integration into the ecosystem. Without seaweed the beaches are at a higher risk of erosion and the loss of natural habitat for many creatures.

Surfers Surfers must have their surfboards tethered to one leg while in the water.
Beach Driving Vehicles can access the beach at Seaside Park in the City limits. Within Nassau County beaches including Peters Point and American Beach, only Nassau County residents may drive on the beach. No permit required for vehicle owners who are handicapped or disabled.
Beach Flags and what they mean
Red and yellow flags indicate the area is patrolled by lifeguards. These are the safe areas to swim.
Black and white chequered flags indicate an area zoned by lifeguards for use of watercraft such as surfboards and kayaks. Never swim or bodyboard in these areas.
Solid Red flag indicates danger. NEVER enter the water when the red flag is flying, under any circumstances.
Orange windsock indicates offshore wind conditions. You should NEVER use an inflatable when the sock is flying.

Miscellaneous Information
Beach Weddings Ever dream of getting married on an Appalachian crystal sand beach, with a backdrop of the pristine waters of the Atlantic Ocean? Being with the one you love on a pristine beach with waves crashing in the distance conjures up fairytale romance at its best. Amelia Island beach weddings are as close to perfect as you can get. You do not need a permit of any kind - just choose your beach access point and start planning.
We do need to ask a few things of you - • If you use chairs, an arbor or any other set-up items, please break it down and smooth the sand out after the wedding. Because Sea Turtles nest between May 1 and October 31, we not only ask that the sand remain smooth, but also that lighting or flash photography not be used, pre-dawn or post-dusk, during this time period. • Balloons and balloon strings are not permitted on the beach. • Please substitute bird seed for rice. The birds will love you! • Alcohol, an open flame and cooking are not permitted on the beach.
For more information on Beach Wedding’s, visit www.AmeliaIsland.com/Weddings
City Special Events and Permit Information Special Event Permit applications must be received by the City of Fernandina Beach no later than 60 days prior to the actual date of the event and may be submitted as early as one year before the event.
