Dear Valued Members and Friends, What a year this has been!

In September 2018 we announced SCCF’s new CEO and we spent the fall celebrating Erick Lindblad’s extraordinary 33-year tenure as a mentor and leader. Ryan took the helm in January 2019, and the ensuing months have featured a very successful transition and the emergence of new ideas and energy – including an update to SCCF’s strategic plan. We are entering the future bravely and thoughtfully and want to share several themes that will Doug Ryckman and Ryan Orgera guide SCCF in that future.

COMMITMENT - Erick and the extraordinary SCCF staff shaped a culture of love for their jobs and appreciation of each other. Our dedicated team members are committed to SCCF’s mission and pour their hearts into all of its work. We are extremely proud of our people and the values they continue to demonstrate every day. VIGILANCE - SCCF has fought to protect our islands for over 52 years. We have been highly successful, preserving over 1,850 acres, educating innumerable citizens and visitors, and advocating for nature in Fort Myers, Tallahassee, and Washington. The SCCF RECON Network is our islands’ first line of defense in monitoring coastal water quality, and our sea turtle and shorebird programs nurture fragile wildlife populations. These are just two examples of the first-rate work being done across all of our program areas. SCCF’s compass will always point to the conservation of the Sanibel and Captiva ecosystems as our “True North” and highest priority. FORESIGHT - At the same time, we need to recognize that our islands are part of a larger system and that our greatest threats come to us from outside our islands: blue-green algae, Red Tide, wetland loss, unfettered development, and ultimately climate change and sea level rise. To address these external threats, we will advocate for science-based policies and actions that anticipate and deal with these challenges at their source. We will choose our battles carefully but will be unafraid to take on issues that appear distant but are ultimately critical for our island and neighboring communities, including humans and critters. GRATITUDE - We are excited for SCCF’s future. We are fortunate to live in this extraordinary place, and are honored that our members, supporters, volunteers, and friends entrust us to keep it special. We hope you enjoy this annual report. Most importantly, please view it as an introduction to the future, as well as a grateful look at the past.

Thank you for being part of our commitment to conservation. We could not do this critically important work without you.

Sincerely,

Ryan Orgera, Ph.D. Douglas Ryckman Chief Executive Officer President Connections ANNUAL REPORT FY2018-2019 | 1 Photo: Janet Kirk

Studying Water Quality and Algae Blooms The Marine Lab teamed up with University of Florida (Dr. Ed Phlips) and North Carolina State University (Dr. Natalie Nelson) to study the Caloosahatchee and harmful algae blooms. The project is funded by the National Science Foundation under the RAPID program, which awards projects with an immediate need; last summer’s algae blooms were the justification. The goal is to determine if there was any connectivity between blooms occurring in the Caloosahatchee and those occurring in the Gulf of Mexico. We are using traditional microscopy, nutrient analysis, RECON (River Estuary & Coastal Observing Network) data, and the Lab’s FlowCam to describe, model, and analyze the 2018-2019 phytoplankton blooms. Two student interns from University of Iowa are developing independent projects and being mentored as part of the project. OYSTER RESTORATION The Lab has applied for permits for an additional 20 acres of oyster reef restoration. Highly successful restoration projects since 2009 include a total of four acres in Clam Bayou, San Carlos Bay and Tarpon Bay. Improved oyster reefs are not only good for the ecosystem but also for making our coasts more storm-resistant.

Using Science to Improve Water Quality on Sanibel

Based on the research and recommendations developed with the City of Sanibel Natural Resources staff, the SCCF nutrient management plan has been used as a scientific basis for several large projects: 1. The City will be upgrading its wastewater treatment plant, reducing the amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus contained in the reclaimed water used to irrigate the island’s golf courses. 2. Jordan Marsh, a new filtration marsh, was constructed using City property and SCCF conservation land to reduce nitrogen loads in Effluent sampler, Jordan Marsh the Sanibel Slough.

ANNUAL REPORT FY2018-2019 | 3 The R/V Norma Campbell We used our new research vessel, the R/V Norma Campbell, to study an unprecedented dead zone, an area of water devoid of oxygen in the Gulf, related to Red Tide, dying fish, and stratification. Other uses of the Norma Campbell include sea turtle rescues and transporting and maintaining the RECON sensor network and offshore wave buoy. Our research vessel enables us to service this offshore wave buoy

Red Tide and Sea Turtles

From July to November 2018, Sea Turtle Coordinator Kelly Sloan and Marine Lab Scientist Dr. Rick Bartleson dissected 60 sea turtles that died that summer to examine their stomach contents and test for brevetoxins (the Red Tide toxin), including sending samples for grant-funded specialized analysis by a NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) chemist. The most common prey items of the Kemp’s Ridley and Loggerhead sea turtles were crustaceans and molluscs (pen shells, ark shells, whelks, tulip snails, horse conchs, fighting conchs, moon snails, and sharks eyes). Preliminary tests of brevetoxin levels in gut contents, livers, and some muscle and blood samples revealed high levels in the majority of the samples. Kelly Sloan presented preliminary results at the International Sea A New Lab Facility Turtle Symposium in Charleston in February 2019. The The Marine Lab moved into a new facility, constructed in partnership samples that tested the highest were extracted and sent with the J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge and the U.S. Fish & to NOAA for further analysis.

Water Quality within the Refuge Ten years of monitoring water quality within the J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge has allowed us to link changes in Refuge water quality to discharges from the Franklin Lock in the Caloosahatchee. We have also been able to see how new culverts and changes in impoundment management have changed water quality conditions in the Refuge.

4 | SCCF — SANIBEL-CAPTIVA CONSERVATION FOUNDATION Florida Box Turtle Project SCCF has been conducting population studies on the Florida box turtle (Terrapene carolina bauri) for well over a decade.

Controlled Fire As part of the Sanibel Prescribed Fire Partnership (SCCF, the City of Sanibel, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, Florida Forestry, and Sanibel Fire & Rescue), we were able to perform a controlled burn on approximately 10 acres in Sanibel Gardens on June 19, 2019. The preserve is jointly owned by SCCF and the City of Sanibel. With this fire, Land Steward Victor Young earned his burn certification, which will allow him to pull controlled fire permits and lead a prescribed fire. Sanibel Fire & Rescue donated a second Type 6 fire truck (Ford F350), which will allow us to have two different brush trucks with water and a pump on controlled burns. ANNUAL REPORT FY2018-2019 | 5 Sea Turtle Program SEA TURTLE CONSERVATION 2019 was an exceptional season for the Sea Turtle Program and new records were set for total loggerhead hatchlings that emerged on our islands. However, ensuring the survival of sea turtles is becoming increasingly complex in the face of coastal development, ocean plastics, habitat loss, climate change/sea level rise, and a wide variety of emerging and worsening threats. We are committed to playing a significant role in being part of the solution by expanding our scope to meet these challenges. Thanks to the support of the AWC Family Foundation, Sea Turtle Conservancy, FLRACEP (Florida RESTORE Act Center of Excellence Program) grants, and private donors, we have thriving collaborations with a variety of institutions and our impact on sea turtle conservation is growing. During night surveys we interacted Super nester green sea turtle “Jane” laying her 5th nest this season with over 1,500 individuals, educating them about the impacts of lights on sea turtles and other ways beachgoers can help. Additionally, we encountered 344 turtles at night, 157 of which were unique individuals. Of these Photo: Janet Kirk individuals, 122 were seen for the first time this year and 35 turtles were SCCF’s Kelly Sloan and previously identified in 2016 or 2017.

Results from 2018 suggest that groundwater influence has a cooling effect on nest temperature and increases sand moisture. At high levels, groundwater and moisture correlate with lower hatch success. As of July, samples were collected from 689 hatchlings in research nests to determine sex ratios. • We teamed up with the Conservancy of Southwest Florida for a second season to document the migratory patterns of green sea turtles nesting in our area. This year, we deployed satellite tags on six green sea turtles. To track their movements, please visit: www.ocearch.org

Wilson’s Plovers on Sanibel fared much better this year with one brood Approximately 100 nests managing to successfully fledge all 3 chicks! There are also Wilson’s Plovers nesting on North Captiva on the north end, and on the SCCF property known 70 chicks fledged as Old Charley Pass. The Least Tern colony at Bowman’s Beach had a promising start with 50 birds in May, unfortunately they abandoned nesting attempts after heavy predation by crows. The birds moved to North Captiva and joined a larger colony on the newly formed beach on the north end. Shorebird coordinator Audrey Albrecht was able to get up there to rope off the colony and protect nests from accidental destruction by beachgoers. North Captiva is accessible only by boat, so regular monitoring is a challenge.

It was a full yard transformation by first removing exotic and invasive plant species and then replacing the non-native plants with native vegetation over a three-year span. The plants are still growing and filling in, but have already attracted a lot of wildlife. One species in particular are gopher tortoises; the homeowners have a total of three active gopher tortoise burrows in their yard. While I was recently watering some newly installed plants, I enjoyed watching two of the tortoises eating some of the vegetation. Being able to see the metamorphosis over the past few years is very gratifying, and even more Photos: Elise Irland so when you get the see the wildlife enjoying it as well.

We took a quick field trip to her property to check it out for ourselves and walked the trail through the wooded lot behind her home to the small patch of orchids tucked underneath some buttonwoods.

“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 efforts to protect 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
