Jersey Trees for Life's ongoing Hedgerow Campaign started in 2007 and has since seen around 50km of native hedgerow planted island-wide, thanks in no small part to the support of corporate and public volunteer teams.

The Hedgerow Campaign was launched in 2007 and has been going strong ever since. Funded by members, sponsors and donors, Jersey Trees for Life has planted thousands of metres of native hedgerow species, comprising the likes of blackthorn, field maple, hawthorn, holly and wild privet.

The campaign operates on an annual cycle. The late autumn to winter months, from November to March, are when planting takes place. From April to September, the team shifts its focus to maintenance, with every hedgerow receiving two visits per year. Autumn months are then spent assessing land in preparation for the following campaign.

Healthy hedgerows are a vital part of our ecosystem, providing a surprisingly diverse range of benefits to wildlife, landowners and the wider community. They reduce soil erosion by acting as a barrier to water runoff while stabilising the soil surface with their roots, which help absorb water faster. This is just one of the ways in which hedgerows can serve as a means of flood mitigation, in addition to reducing silt in waterways and absorbing and transpiring soil water.

The role of hedgerows as windbreaks is another crucial factor, especially on a windswept isle like ours, as strong, cold winds can cause all manner of crop damage. Shelter keeps soil warmer too, which in turn can extend the growing season.

Increased biodiversity is naturally another major benefit, with hedgerows providing food and shelter for a vast array of birds, mammals and insects – including pollinators such as bees, which are fundamental to crop yields. Hedgerows also provide a natural habitat for predators of crop pests, leading to reduced need for pesticides.

Thanks to the campaign, an island-wide network of wildlife corridors – connected areas of habitat across human-dominated areas – has been created, helping our local wildlife to thrive.

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!
