NOAA; Oil Will Not Impact Lee County Coastline he National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration T(NOAA) has updated its map of where the BP gulf oil spill may be head- ing. It appears the crude has almost no chance of reaching the coast of Lee County or Sanibel and Captiva. But it is expected to affect much more distant areas of Florida, including the Florida Keys and Miami, according to computer model projections. Albeit less than one percent prob- ability of hitting Southwest Florida along the Lee and Collier coastlines, the same NOAA forecast from Friday, July 1 shows 61 percent to 80 percent chance of sheen, tar balls or other oil remnants coming within 20 miles of Florida’s east coast, from the Keys north to the Fort Lauderdale area, by August 18, the Associated Press reported. continued on page 40 Sanibel and Captiva beaches, like this one, are pristine and are predicted to remain so Oil-Free Sanibel Chosen For Release Of Pelicans, Gannets by Anne Mitchell large number of brown pelicans and northern gannets rescued from the oil spill along the Louisiana coast were transported to ASanibel Monday and released at an oil-free island beach. Twenty-one brown pelicans and 11 northern gannets were airlifted in transport crates aboard a U.S. Coast Guard HC-144 Ocean Sentry aircraft from New Orleans Airport to Page Field General Aviation Airport in Fort Myers. They made the trip to Sanibel in four rented vans. The birds, which had been rescued and rehabilitated after being oiled in the Gulf Coast waters, were set free before a crowd of onlook- ers at Gulfside City Park. The release was authorized and coordinated under the direction of the Unified Commands in New Orleans, Houma, Mobile and Miami with assistance from the National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Coast Guard, Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, and the City of Sanibel. Officials chose Sanibel as a release site based on three criteria, said Dr. Jenny Powers, the NPS wildlife veterinarian who accompanied the birds from New Orleans. “First is the suitability of habitat and then the oil trajectory and weather,” she said. “The release site also needs to be close to an air- port.” continued on page 40 A young pelican is released from its crate at Gulfside City Park beach, Sanibel on Monday 2 ISLAND SUN - JULY 16, 2010 Hortoons American Legion n All-Star Weekend of Fun is slated to begin Friday, July 16 Awith a fish and shrimp fry from 4 to 8 p.m. On Saturday, July 17 it’s the second annual Whiffle Ball Home Derby at 6 p.m. All ages are welcome.

Over the past few years our island vegetation has had to cope with scale outbreaks, long dry spells and most recently, an extremely cold winter. Our coconut palms were especially hard hit by the cold temperatures, and many did not survive. With the city’s current budgetary constraints, the prospect of replacing the dead palms and restoring other deteriorated areas along Periwinkle Way seemed unlikely. With the evident success of its past efforts to restore Periwinkle Way, some may have assumed the partnership’s RS Walsh Landscaping truck loaded with new palm trees mission achieved.

Sanibel Sea HSchool’s Coral Reef Week was an ambitious mix of tent camping, marine marvels, rain and a big contribution to the blood-sucking insect population of Big Pine Key. All for the love of the ocean. But campers returned happy from three nights of camping at the Big Pine Key Fishing Lodge Campground – our base camp for coral reef adventures. On the first day of our trip, we took a bumpy boat trip to the gulf stream, which is currently about five miles offshore from the Keys. Some of us had the opportunity to experience seasickness for the first time, Some of the gang on the boat trip but we all got to observe the deep blue color of the gulf stream – then we dove in and realized how clear it actually is! We practiced our free diving skills as we stared at the shafts of light as they disappeared into the abyss, overcame our fears, and floated on among clumps of sargassum, a type of floating algae that is a hallmark of the gulf stream. It is a pretty big feat to snorkel in water over 300 feet deep – some of us were treated to a glimpse of a mako sharking cruising below us. Our ultimate destination was Looe Key Reef. If you’ve never been diving at Looe Key National Marine Sanctuary in the Florida Keys, you’ve deprived yourself of one of the great American outdoor experiences. Like a big outstretched hand, Looe has the classic spur and groove reef structure. Sanibel Sea School campers swimming over the coral outcroppings spotted a Goliath grouper, barracudas, several sharks, and thousands of reef fish. We also examined the tiny zooxanthellae that produce nutrients for coral in return for protection and access to light. The zooxanthellae are responsible for coral’s bright colors. Back at base camp, we found hogfish, stingrays, and a batfish in the seagrass. And what would a campout be for 12-year-old boys without a rousing game of contact-tag football before dinner. Thursday began with a talk from Joy Tatgenhorst, a marine educator from the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. She taught us about Marine Protected Areas and coral reef ecosystems. Afterwards, we hopped on the boat for another trip to the gulf stream. There, we snorkeled with a large school of mahi-mahi, jellyfish, and a beautiful tripletail hanging out under a floating cooler lid, the only visible structure out there where no land was in sight. How many of you have ever snorkeled in the pelagic zone – where most inhabitants will never see the bottom? It was a big experience for most of us. Nearer shore, we snorkeled the patch reefs of Bahia Honda State Park to explore coral heads and communities of sea fans. We saw many sea biscuits and lob- sters, and campers collected beautiful old glass bottles from the sea floor. Some of us followed a school of seven Caribbean reef squid as they led us through their environ- ment – it was hard to tell who was leading and who was following at times. After dinner, we built campfires and roasted s’mores. Some of us braved the dark waters for a night snorkel, equipped with glow sticks and dive lights. The ocean floor was teeming with lobsters and crabs, and we saw squid, shrimp, and starfish among continued on page 15

That’s because recent rainfall has raised to lake to unsafe levels. In accordance with the 2008 Lake Okeechobee Regulation Schedule (2008 LORS), the corp adjusted water releases from Lake Okeechobee beginning at 7 a.m. on Sunday, July 11. The 12-day release has a target flow to the St. Lucie Estuary of 1,800 cubic feet per second (cfs). The new target flow to the Caloosahatchee Estuary is 4,000 cfs. as measured at the Moore Haven Lock and Dam (S-77). The releases are made in pulses that resemble the pattern of runoff resulting from natural rainfall. “Over the past 10 days, we delivered reduced releases to the St. Lucie and Caloosahatchee estuaries – 200 cfs and 450 cfs, respectively – and according to the 2008 LORS,” said Lt. Col. Michael Kinard, Jacksonville District Deputy for South Florida. “The reduced flows were due to improved evaporation/transpiration during the month of June, dryer tributary conditions, and predictions of less rainfall, even though water levels in Lake Okeechobee remained approximately a foot and a half above the preferred level. “Recent rainfall over the lake and surrounding basins, however, has raised the lake level almost six inches in one week. The forecast is for increased precipitation. These changes have prompted us to increase the releases again to protect the Herbert Hoover Dike, free-up capacity for more rain and potential tropical storms, and to keep from having to make larger releases later.” The corps strives to maintain the lake between 12.5 and 15.5 feet. Normally, at the beginning of the wet season, the lake level is on a downward trend toward the Sea pork lower end of the management range. This provides capacity in the lake for precipita- tion and basin runoff expected during the wet season. System conditions are closely monitored.
