Florida Department of Environmental Protection completes initial revitalization of critical salt marsh habitat

June 3, 2021 Share This Story EASTPOINT, Fla. – The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is prioritizing coastal resilience by restoring the shoreline at the Apalachicola National Estuarine Research Reserve. Together with Duke Energy Florida and nonprofits including Conservation Corps of the Forgotten and Emerald Coasts, DEP is restoring the Cat Point shoreline by working to limit erosion and rehabilitate salt marsh habitat. Recently, the team completed the first replanting of smooth cordgrass, a critical component of healthy salt marsh. As a result of the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill and associated response activities, salt marsh habitats along Florida’s Panhandle suffered adverse impacts.

A beloved fish may get the hook, as Florida gives initial approval to proposal for killing goliath grouper Sun Sentinel 1 hr ago David Fleshler, South Florida Sun-Sentinel A proposal to allow goliath groupers to be killed won preliminary approval Wednesday from the Florida wildlife commission, over the objections of many scientists, conservationists and divers. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission voted 6-1 to take steps toward lifting a 31-year ban on catching the goliath grouper, a species that can reach upwards of 600 pounds and lives among the reefs and wrecks of the South Florida coast. Although less well known than such Florida species as the alligator or panther, the goliath plays a growing role in the economics of Florida’s dive industry, with dive shops taking clients to photograph the giant fish, many of whom appear equally curious about their human visitors.
