Ocean Aid 360, CCA Florida, NOAA, and Tampa Bay Watch are partnering to present Tampa Bay's most exciting new marine debris removal initiative! The Ghost Trap Rodeo event series is organized like your favorite shallow water fishing tournaments, but instead of weighing in fish, we'll be weighing in abandoned crab traps, fishing gear, and other forms of marine debris found during your four (4) hour search - with $25,000 in fishing tackle prizes to top volunteer wranglers! - We are actively seeking volunteer wranglers and volunteer event staff.

- There will be 6 Free-to-Enter events, one per month from October 27, 2018 to March 23, 2019
- You are invited to participate in one, some, or all of the six Ghost Trap Rodeo events!
- Event T-Shirts and Refreshments will be provided for free!
- You're invited to register at OceanAid360.org to ensure enough giveaways for your team
- Event launch + weigh-in sites will be posted on the OceanAid360.org event registration page!

WHY ARE WE HAVING A GHOST TRAP RODEO? - Ghost fishing is defined as unattended fishing by lost and abandoned fishing gear (such as traps, nets, monofilament line and lures) until the gear is degraded enough to allow for escape - and it’s a real problem throughout the state of Florida. The Gulf States Marine Fisheries Commission estimates that 250,000 derelict crab traps are added to the Gulf of Mexico waters each year. In Florida, hundreds of thousands of traps are fished year around, with between 30% and 50% of those traps lost, annually, to continue ghost fishing. Tampa Bay is home to a vibrant crab fishery, for both stone crabs and blue crabs, with both recreational and commercial participants experiencing occasional trap losses - especially after named storms such as Hurricanes Irma and Michael. Today, best estimates put Tampa Bay's number of active ghost traps somewhere near 10,000 traps. These traps kill their intended species, plus a variety of unintended bycatch species; and these traps decrease our natural resources through unchecked kills (examples: stone crabs, sheepshead, rays), accidental entanglements (examples: sea turtles, manatees, saw fish), and essential fish habitat damage. The Ghost Trap Rodeo event series is an opportunity for knowledgeable local anglers and boaters to come together and launch their shallow draft vessels and paddle-craft in search of these ghost traps and other types of marine debris, to participate in citizen science (via bycatch species data inventory), for the conservation of the Tampa Bay estuary, and with the opportunity to win a great prize - like a PowerPole Shallow Water Anchoring System, a pair of Costa Polarized Sunglasses, Engel Cooler, or West Marine Gift Card! Refreshments and event apparel will be provided for free to registered volunteer wranglers!

Ocean Aid 360 is actively seeking additional support to replicate The Ghost Trap Rodeo Event Series in recognized coastal hotspots, where our innovative brand of competitive clean-up programming can reduce mortality for marine life by removing abandoned fishing gear from the environment while also educating coastal residents about the issue and working with those user groups to improve their methodology and reduce fishing gear losses which damage our shared natural resources and essential fisheries habitat.

Thank you for considering support to Ocean Aid 360, and to your marine resources!

Established in 2006, the Caletas-Arío Wildlife Reserve includes a 750-acre terrestrial zone and a 12-nautical mile marine protected area, representing one of the last remaining expansive stretches of undeveloped coastline in the region.

Home to a rich biodiversity of flora and fauna, and set among two of the most important rivers on the peninsula, the Caletas-Arío Wildlife Reserve contains lush wetlands and mangrove ecosystems, tropical dry forests and rocky reefs teeming with life, estuaries and sandy beaches where sea turtles nest in the wild.

Experience the pristine natural landscape and explore the Caletas- Arío Reserve on a 2 ½ hour hike along the forested river on route to the beach.

While we at CIRENAS work hard to conserve and manage such an important ecosystem and watershed, the Caletas-Arío Wildlife Reserve has been severely affected by the presence of commercial rice fields, rife with chemical pesticides and unsustainable water use, causing great environmental damage and threatening the long-term sustainability of the entire Nicoya Peninsula.
