I attended a resource protection course for Florida Bay boaters today along with Captain Gus Ramirez and Captain Glenn Warington at the Green Turtle Hammock located in Islamorada.
The course is designed to teach boaters how to safely navigate the Bay's shallow waters and illustrates simple actions that can reduce the extent of fish and seagrass habitat damage. The course was very informative with information on preventing seagrass damage, catch and release techniques, identification of birds and mammals and much more.
The course can be taken online at: www.ecomariner.org
