The Ocean Conservancy annual Coastal Cleanup will be held on Saturday, September 20th.  37 out of 50 states are participating in the coastal cleanup (even many land-locked states).  If you are interested in participating in the coastal cleanup, please visit their website at www.oceanconservancy.org

Volunteers are needed to help clean the along the beaches, scuba diving to pick up trash, and anyone willing to donate their boats to help bring trash ashore.

If you cannot participate on the 20th, but would like to donate, you can also do that on their website.  Please visit www.oceanconservancy.org and read all about the wonderful organization.

Since we’re back in the Florida lobster season (Aug 6th - March 31st), I thought it might be a good idea to remind everybody to please follow the proper restrictions for lobstering. If you have any questions about the restrictions, please visit the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commissions website. I have posted the information in the past and it can still be viewed under the categories link (uncategorized or environmental Impact) if you wish to view it.

The Spiny Lobster regulations can be viewed at www.floridaconservation.org/marine/lobster.htm

Thanks to everybody who has been leaving comments. We really appreciate the feedback. Many of you were asking if we would be adding a forum and the answer is yes. We are looking into that right now. Hopefully we will have it in the next couple of weeks.

As of right now there is  no scheduled date posted for the sinking of the Vandenberg in Key West.  As far as I can tell they are still trying to resolve the funding issues.  If you would like to donate to the cause, please visit this website for more information - click on the donate link at the top.  http://www.bigshipwrecks.com/
