Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation Dear SCCF Members and Island Neighbors,

For the first time, we are mailing this Annual Report not just to our valued members, but to every home on Sanibel and Captiva.

Why? Well, we have two very good reasons to reach out further than we have in the past.

First, it’s time to reintroduce SCCF to our island neighbors. Many families, es- pecially those who are new to the islands, were drawn here by the sanctuary quality of our wildlife habitat. They may not know that, for the past 43 years, SCCF has relied on our neighbors to help acquire and preserve almost 2,300 acres of that conservation land. They may not know that our wildlife habitat management staff restore and maintain that land, while also overseeing our sea turtle and snowy plo- ver monitoring programs. They may not know that our environmental educators and native plant nursery staff teach 25,000 people annually how to be better con- servationists. They may not know that our marine research scientists and public policy staff are working diligently to protect the waters surrounding our islands. Please read this Annual Report to learn more about what we do and how it affects your island home. If you like what you read, please call or visit us so we can talk about ways you can get more involved.

Second, our fundraising campaign is as daunting in scope as it is rich in opportu- nities. Please read the attached brochure to learn more about our Honoring the Past - Protecting the Future Campaign. Please read about our hope to acquire the Bailey Homestead and the surrounding 28-acre wildlife habitat. Please read about how we plan to make it a special place for us all to enjoy. If you like what you read, please use the enclosed envelope to show your support. And if you want to learn more, we’d be happy to make a presentation to your friends and neighbors if you’ll have us.

We need island-wide support to make this happen. Please reply and be counted as an island conservationist.

Sincerely,

Bill Fenniman Erick Lindblad President, Board of Trustees Executive Director Page 2 Page

Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill Devastation caused by oil gushing into the Gulf of Page 4 Page Mexico was tragic for wildlife and the health of Gulf waters. For the first two months, all of us worried about the potential impact on the islands, and SCCF — like all islanders — prepared plans and provided assistance wherever necessary. Economy: While the spill was devastating to the impacted areas, it also spelled disaster for our economy. Already reeling from a downturn in travel and spend- ing, our local tourism industry was in peril. Kristie Anders worked closely with the Lee County Visitors & Convention Bureau staff and Miles Media, and SCCF provided reliable sources of information and public as- surances daily as island beaches were monitored. SCCF participated in the VCB’s “Still Pristine” campaign as one of the area experts.

In 2006, SCCF raised money to purchase seven RECON water quality sensors (the Lab now has eight). That same year, SCCF formalized a long- standing commitment to water quality issues with the addition to staff of a Natural Resource Policy Director. Lake Okeechobee Releases Earlier this year, as we emerged from a three-year drought, high flow issues resumed but, this year, with a twist. Heavy rains start- ed in March, dumping above-average rainfall (132% higher) during our normally dry spring months, resulting in excessive flows at a most sensitive time — the spawning of estuarine spe- cies. The result was unnaturally large volumes of water washing away this year’s crop of oys- ter spat and seagrass seeds into the open Gulf where it could not survive. These high releases also affected spawning of larval fish including snook, bay anchovy, blue crabs and shrimp.

Page 9 Protecting our Waters RECON (River, Estuary & Coastal Observing Network) Following the large-scale algal blooms on island beaches in 2005-2007, SCCF raised money to pur- chase a network of six in-water sensors to measure water quality (a seventh sensor will be installed soon). The RECON sensors provide hourly sampling of key water quality parameters across a 90-mile area, from Moore Haven by Lake Okeechobee to Redfish Pass. Since de- ployment in late 2007, a total of 135,104 records have been collected and made available (through July 2010). The data is available in near real-time on our website (www.recon.sccf.org).

Preliminary findings reveal a number of linkages be- tween the species of algae on the beach and those grow- ing on the sea floor. These relationships indicate that macroalgae species on the beaches match those found on the sea floor around the Causeway. The amount of algae is not dictated by nutrient levels alone and is as- sociated with certain bottom types and the availability of light. Typically, the largest amounts of algae on the sea floor occur in the spring. www.sccf.org Many aspects of this project have yet to be finished, including a grazing experiment to determine the role of sea urchins and other grazers on controlling the algae, stable isotope analysis of algal tissue, and a hydrody- namic model to predict the transport of algae from the sea floor to the beaches.

A combination of sampling techniques is being used to develop a more complete picture of the major influences to local water quality. Some water quality concerns have been identified, particularly after rainfall events. We are trying to deter- mine if there is a link between elevated levels of bacteria and nutrients in the bay side waters of Captiva (due to tidal and rainfall events) and occasional elevated levels in beach side waters by looking at how the water moves through passes and interacts with groundwater. Water quality information from many projects and sources has been coordinated by the Lab in order to provide a more complete picture of water quality condi- tions and dynamics in the barrier island ecosystem. The Captiva Community Panel obtained funding through the Lee County Tourism Development Coun- cil for the project, which began in October 2008 and will continue until early 2011.

Wildlife Monitoring on Preserves Protecting Wildlife Wildlife monitoring on SCCF preserves provides a report card on our restoration work. Overseen by Wildlife Habitat Management Interim Director Chris Lechowicz, all of our monitoring pro- tocols are conducted on a strict schedule according to season, rainfall, temperature and/or tides. Year-to-year variation such as heavy rainfall during the dry season or near drought conditions during the wet sea- son can alter the usual patterns of wildlife on the island. This year, our semi-annual small mammal monitor- ing efforts were negatively skewed due to high water lev- els at the trapping sites in March, when it is normally dry. Conversely, fish monitoring efforts were stalled in the early summer because the swales had dried down Since gopher tortoise hatchlings are also found at the (but August rains brought relief). beach, well-meaning visitors try to “release” them into the Gulf.

Page 28 Page On the islands, most of our alligators are found in the man-made lakes in our sub-divisions and golf courses because the lakes provide year-round deep water, plen- ty of fish, and great sun basking in the winter. These neighborhood lakes bring gators into close proximity with humans and, especially, with golf course staff. For golf course staff to have an understanding of alligator behavior makes humans and gators safer. They might be the first person to spot an aggressive gator, thus look- ing out for the safety of the neighborhoods. In June, SCCF Living with Wildlife Educator Dee From left: John McCabe, The Sanctuary Golf Club; Dee Serage arranged for alligator behaviorist, Dr. Kent Vliet Serage, SCCF; Dr. Kent Vliet, University of Florida; and of the University of Florida, to meet with golf course Kyle Sweet, The Sanctuary Golf Club. workers from The Sanctuary Golf Club, Beachview Golf and adding a new basking area after relocating a very & Tennis Club and The Dunes Golf & Tennis Club. large non-aggressive gator this past year.

Living with Alligators Sanibel is an island dedicated to living with wild- life. Knowing what to do or not to do is the key to living safely with gators: • Make sure no one feeds gators • Keep children and dogs away from www.sccf.org freshwater edges Courtesy Jeff Lysiak/Island Reporter • Never approach closer than 20 feet

Protecting Wildlife Page 29 Future Projects: Bobcats The preservation and management of SCCF lands provides quality habitat for the bobcats of Sanibel and Captiva. There has never been a negative human/bobcat or dog/bobcat encounter reported to the City of Sani- bel. Bobcats have their individual territories marked for hunting rats and rabbits throughout the islands. No one knows how many bobcats the islands support. This fall, Biologist Amanda Bryant will begin a bob- cat monitoring project. In Stage 1, scat will be collected along one kilometer transects around Sanibel; it will be washed and analyzed to provide a picture of the bobcats’ Living with Bobcats (and Housecats) diet.

As the oldest locally owned and managed bank on the islands, Bank of the Islands is proud to be SCCF's partner in conservation.

“We believe we have an obligation to support the communities we serve. In part, we do that by supporting organizations working to make their community the best it can be.

For the past four decades, SCCF’s conservation activity has helped define what makes our islands so special. We are honored to play a part in making that happen.” Geoffrey Roepstorff Chief Executive Officer
