Keep Nesting Turtles Safe

Sea turtle nesting season is officially in full swing! Headed to the beach this summer? Here’s how you can do your part to help keep them safe:

- Keep Beaches Dark: Turn off lights not necessary for human safety after sunset and remember to cover beach-facing windows that may confuse nesting turtles and hatchlings.

- No Flash: Avoid using flashlights, bright cellphones, and taking flash photos on the beach at night. These lights can disorient turtles and potentially cause them to crawl away from the ocean and put themselves at risk.

- Clear The Way: Before leaving the beach, clear away furniture, boats, toys, and any trash left behind on the sand that can potentially become obstacles for crawling turtles. Make sure knock down sandcastles and fill in holes – turtles can potentially get trapped.

- Stash the Trash: Prevent entanglements and keep our state beautiful by cleaning up after yourself and others when available.

Most importantly, keep your distance and report any sick, injured, entangled, or deceased sea turtles to FWC’s Wildlife Alert Hotline at 888-404-3922. Follow FWC Fish and Wildlife Research Institute for sea turtle nesting updates throughout the season. The next nesting count update is coming soon!

Boat Sober

FWC officers will be laser-focused on boating safety enforcement over the busy Memorial Day holiday weekend. Last year, officers across the state issued more than 4,000 warnings and nearly 900 citations for boating violations.

Just this week, an impaired operator arrested last Memorial Day weekend, pled guilty to Boating Under the Influence (BUI) and was sentenced to four months of jail time and two years of probation. He will also be responsible for paying more than $2,000 in fines, serving 50 hours of community service and will have to take a mandatory boater safety course. Don’t let this be you!

The FWC reminds all boaters to enjoy time with friends and family but do so safely and don’t forget to designate a sober operator before departing from the dock. Operating a vessel while under the influence of alcohol or drugs is illegal on all bodies of water and can lead to series injuries and consequences. In Florida, it is illegal to operate a vessel with a blood alcohol content of .08 or higher, the same as in a vehicle.

Had the honor of taking these outstanding soldiers out bowfishing, 2 first timers and 2 experienced bowfishers. Steve gave me a call and said they wanted to bowfish some rays, so that's what they did. We had some really great weather and a awesome crew to be out with.
Thank for your service and the love you have for our country!

Had a blast with Calvin Mauger and his family last night, Calvin won the vacation and bowfishing trip from the Bowfishing Association of America, where the proceeds goes towards protecting and promoting the sport of bowfishing across our country.
Almost broke another record mojarra by ¼ inch! Way to go guys!

Simone and Amber came to vacation in Weeki Wachee and decided to experience an adventure of a lifetime.
I have to say they are natural born bowfishers. They took to the sport in no time. The weather and tide was completely in our favor, and they slammed a couple gar, sheepshead, rays, a mullet and a spade fish.
By the end of the trip it was all smiles.

I'm looking forward to having the privilege to take them out in the future!

Great people make for really great times! Robert an avid angler, gave me a call and wanted to try out bowfishing for the first time.
The wind was kicking little hard so we headed up the Weeki Wachee, they shot some mullet and had a great time out together.

Memories last forever, opportunities dont!

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to take you all bowfishing!

Guys night out would have been a 10/10 except the last hour of the tour we had a malfunction with the lights. (Fixed) But that didn't stop this crew from having fun and catching some fish.

I can't promise a perfect tour for every trip, but I promise you'll still be happy at the end of it.
