  • Seagrass in Pine Island Sound and Matlacha Pass
    Seagrass in Pine Island FISH, WILDLIFE, & Sound and Matlacha Pass HABITAT PROTECTION Summary Pine Island Sound basin also encompasses Matlacha Pass and San Carlos Bay. This area is known for its extensive seagrass beds. Pine Island Sound receives tidal flushing from nearby Boca Grande, Captiva, and Redfish Pass and contains Pine Island Sound Aquatic Preserve. Matlacha Pass and Aquatic Preserve (divided from Pine Island Sound by Pine Island itself) and San Carlos Bay are influenced by inputs from the Caloosahatchee River and Punta Rassa Pass to the south. Seagrasses present include Turtlegrass (Thalassia testudinum), Shoalgrass (Halodule wrightii), Manateegrass (Syringodium filiforme), Stargrass and Paddlegrass (Halophila sp.)1. Propeller scarring and freshwater from the Caloosahatchee River continue to impact seagrass beds throughout the region. Seagrass Measures Water Quality and Improves Estuary Health Over 2.2 million acres of seagrass have been mapped in estuarine and nearshore Florida waters. Many economically important fish and shellfish species depend on seagrass beds during critical stages of their life. Seagrass beds also contribute to better water quality by trapping sediments, storing carbon, and filtering nutrients from stormwater runoff. Florida had historical declines in seagrass acreage during the 20th century. Seagrass requires clean water and ample sunlight to grow. Because seagrass thrives in clean and clear water- it is used by agencies and local governments as a way to measure water quality. This is done in two ways: Mapping changes in seagrass acreage and location over time with aerial photography (spatial coverage). This is valuable for estimating seagrass locations, acres and broad changes over time. On-the-ground monitoring of changes in species composition, estimation of bottom cover in a seagrass bed (abundance), and maximum depth in which seagrass can grow due to light availability and water clarity (deep edge).

    Wednesday Update March 10, 2021 Welcome to the bi-weekly Wednesday Update! We'll email the next issue on March 24. By highlighting SCCF's mission to protect and care for Southwest Florida's coastal ecosystems, our updates connect you to nature. Thanks to Mike Puma for this photo of a tri- colored heron (Egretta tricolor) taken on Sanibel. DO YOU HAVE WILDLIFE PHOTOS TO SHARE? Please send your photos to [email protected] to be featured in an upcoming issue. SCCF Partners with Conservancy to Hire Water Analyst To further a commitment to regional water quality and Everglades restoration through a unified front, SCCF and the Naples-based Conservancy of Southwest Florida have partnered to hire a hydrological modeler. “We better fulfill our west coast mission by pooling our resources and streamlining our efforts,” said SCCF CEO Ryan Orgera, Ph.D. “Doing so, we were able to hire a highly qualified data analyst who will move us more efficiently towards water quality solutions.” On March 16, Paul Julian, Ph.D., will begin working as a hydrological modeler for SCCF and the Conservancy of Southwest Florida. ​The goal of this partnership is to address an important need for modeling expertise and data analysis in Southwest Florida. Work products will be shared between the two non-profits, which have led conservation efforts in Lee and Collier counties for more than five decades. For the past ten years, Julian worked as the Everglades Technical Lead for the Florida Department of Environment Protection (FDEP). In that role, he gained deep understanding of the dynamic Greater Everglades Ecosystem by performing water quality compliance calculations, supporting federal and state restoration planning efforts, developing water quality nutrient models, and mining and analysis of environmental data.

    Friends of the Randell Research Center June 2012 • Vol. 11, No. 2 A Tour of the Islands of Pine Island Sound: A Geological, Archaeological, and Historical Perspective Part 1 in a series: The Geology of Pine Island Sound and Wilson Cut by Denége Patterson Wilson Cut is the only boat channel connecting the shallow waters of Pineland with the deeper waters of Pine Island Sound. In 1925, Graham and Mary Wilson bought proper ty at Pineland, built up the shoreline with material from midden mounds at Pineland plus off -shore sediment, and constructed their home. Today it is known as the Tarpon Lodge. At about the same time, Graham Wilson hired local men to dig a boat channel. A resident of Pineland, Ted Smith, worked on that channel as a young man. He said, “We dug nine feet of solid rock out of that channel, to make the channel thirty feet wide. Under that nine-foot layer of rock we dug up pine trees that big around [indicating about three feet] with bark on them.” Where did the trees come from and how long were they there? How much time does it take for nine feet of limestone to solidify? Perhaps we can fi nd a clue by looking at the geology of Pine Island Sound. Charlotte Harbor and Pine Island Sound (Drawing by W. Marquardt). THE GEOLOGY OF PINE ISLAND SOUND Visitors to the Calusa Heritage Trail at Pineland are treated About 14500 B.C. the water level of the Gulf of Mexico was to a magnifi cent panorama of Pine Island Sound from the summit low, and the dry land mass of Florida was twice as wide as it of the Randell Mound.

  • Florida Circumnavigational Saltwater Paddling Trail Segment 12 Pine Island/Estero Bay
    Florida Circumnavigational Saltwater Paddling Trail Segment 12 Pine Island/Estero Bay Emergency contact information: 911 Lee County Sheriff’s Office: 239-477-1000 Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission 24-hour wildlife emergency/boating under the influence hotline: 1-888-404-3922 Begin: Cayo Costa State Park End: Lovers Key/Bowtie Island Distance: 57.5 miles Duration: 5 days Special Considerations: Extreme caution should be taken in paddling to and from Cayo Costa and in crossing the various passes. Due to currents and boat traffic, these open water crossings should only be attempted by experienced paddlers in favorable weather conditions along the bay side. As with most South Florida segments, boat traffic can be heavy, especially on weekends. Advance reservations are recommended for motels and campgrounds, especially during holidays and the spring season. Introduction Paddlers will have the option of utilizing one of two main routes as part of the Great Calusa Blueway. One route extends east from Cayo Costa and runs around Pine Island through Matlacha Pass. The other hugs the inside of North Captiva, Captiva and Sanibel islands. Both routes are highly scenic, providing opportunities to view numerous species of wading birds and other wildlife. For the purposes of this guide, we will focus primarily on the Matlacha Pass option for long-distance paddlers because overnight accommodations are reasonably priced and the waters are generally more sheltered once you reach Pine Island. Early Calusa Indians built canals and temple mounds in the region. Houses were built atop some of their early shell mounds on Pine Island. Ponce de Leon is believed to have visited in the early 1500s, and he was followed by various European explorers.
