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!

The Vermont Community Garden Network (VCGN) is accepting applications for its board of directors. We seek skilled professionals who want to help create healthier Vermont communities with a high level of food security, food justice, and positive community development and social connections. Desirable skills and experience for board members include fundraising, finance, human resources, marketing, communications and technology.

The board is responsible for guiding the mission and purpose of the organization, strategic planning, fiduciary oversight, and evaluating the performance of the Executive Director. All board members play an active role in fundraising. The full board meets seven times a year in Burlington (with phone conferencing available) and each board member participates on at least one working committee (development, finance or governance).

The state’s 500+ community-based gardens feed tens of thousands of people in neighborhoods, schools, workplaces, housing sites, senior centers, food shelves, child and health care centers. VCGN's resources & technical assistance, grants, leadership training and food and garden education programs provide the tools and knowledge for sustainable community food production for all ages.

VCGN’s programs and partnerships help children and adults gain the confidence to play an active role in their local food system. The impact of this work is clear:
• Children who grow their own food are more likely to eat fruits and vegetables and to carry better nutritional habits into adulthood
• Gardens increase food security and self-sufficiency for housing site residents and provide unique wellness opportunities at workplaces
• Seniors and veterans gain physical, cognitive, emotional and social benefits which can reduce signs of dementia and enhance quality of life
• Everyone has increased access to healthy food and social connections

If our work inspires you and you are interested in being considered for the VCGN board, please send a letter of interest and resume to Board President Jennifer Leithead at jenblackvt@gmail.com.

Every year St. John's hosts a fall dinner with a silent auction in order to raise funds to offset tuition costs so that every child in the community can attend St. John’s School. Our school's smaller class sizes enable teachers to dedicate more time and attention on every student, thus enhancing each child's academic success. Throughout the year, parents volunteer their time and talents as teachers, administrative assistants and maintenance personnel. Prior to the fall dinner, parents seek support from local businesses they frequent. We are able to raise approximately $5,000 through the fall dinner (silent auction) and generous donations from community members. However, with the support of our online benefactors we know we could reach more children in need.
