Connectio
November 2019 Dear Valued Members and Friends,
What a year this has been! In September 2018 we announced SCCF’s new CEO and we spent the fall celebrating Erick Lindblad’s extraordinary 33-year tenure as a mentor and leader. Ryan took the helm in January 2019, and the ensuing months have featured a very successful transition and the emergence of new ideas and energy – including an update to SCCF’s strategic plan. We are entering the future bravely and thoughtfully and want to share several themes that will guide SCCF in that future.
Doug Ryckman and Ryan Orgera
COMMITMENT - Erick and the extraordinary SCCF staff shaped a culture of love for their jobs and appreciation of each other. Our dedicated team members are committed to SCCF’s mission and pour their hearts into all of its work. We are extremely proud of our people and the values they continue to demonstrate every day. VIGILANCE - SCCF has fought to protect our islands for over 52 years. We have been highly successful, preserving over 1,850 acres, educating innumerable citizens and visitors, and advocating for nature in Fort Myers, Tallahassee, and Washington. The SCCF RECON Network is our islands’ first line of defense in monitoring coastal water quality, and our sea turtle and shorebird programs nurture fragile wildlife populations. These are just two examples of the first-rate work being done across all of our program areas. SCCF’s compass will always point to the conservation of the Sanibel and Captiva ecosystems as our “True North” and highest priority. FORESIGHT - At the same time, we need to recognize that our islands are part of a larger system and that our greatest threats come to us from outside our islands: blue-green algae, Red Tide, wetland loss, unfettered development, and ultimately climate change and sea level rise. To address these external threats, we will advocate for science-based policies and actions that anticipate and deal with these challenges at their source. We will choose our battles carefully but will be unafraid to take on issues that appear distant but are ultimately critical for our island and neighboring communities, including humans and critters. GRATITUDE - We are excited for SCCF’s future. We are fortunate to live in this extraordinary place, and are honored that our members, supporters, volunteers, and friends entrust us to keep it special. We hope you enjoy this annual report. Most importantly, please view it as an introduction to the future, as well as a grateful look at the past. Thank you for being part of our commitment to conservation. We could not do this critically important work without you. Sincerely,
ons
Ryan Orgera, Ph.D. Chief Executive Officer
Douglas Ryckman President

POLICY CONNECTIONS The Natural Resource Policy department connects SCCF’s science to the protection and conservation of our region’s natural resources. We work with the SCCF Marine Laboratory to monitor, interpret, and communicate water quality conditions and trends, advise on problems, and craft public policy solutions. We work with our sea turtle and shorebird programs to address human impacts such as light pollution from inland cities that cause disorientations and threaten nesting species. We seek to build a chorus of voices by building consensus across communities. One loud voice is the most effective tool. In addition to environmental organization peers, we developed relationships and partnerships with local Chambers, Realtors, League of Cities, Mayors and our Business Roundtable members. This strategy helped to provide broad support for Everglades restoration projects and funding at the state and federal levels.

MARINE LABORATORY Studying Water Quality and Algae Blooms The Marine Lab teamed up with University of Florida (Dr. Ed Phlips) and North Carolina State University (Dr. Natalie Nelson) to study the Caloosahatchee and harmful algae blooms. The project is funded by the National Science Foundation under the RAPID program, which awards projects with an immediate need; last summer’s algae blooms were the justification. The goal is to determine if there was any connectivity between blooms occurring in the Caloosahatchee and those occurring in the Gulf of Mexico. We are using traditional microscopy, nutrient analysis, RECON (River Estuary & Coastal Observing Network) data, and the Lab’s FlowCam to describe, model, and analyze the 2018-2019 phytoplankton blooms. Two student interns from University of Iowa are developing independent projects and being mentored as part of the project.
OYSTER RESTORATION The Lab has applied for permits for an additional 20 acres of oyster reef restoration. Highly successful restoration projects since 2009 include a total of four acres in Clam Bayou, San Carlos Bay and Tarpon Bay. Improved oyster reefs are not only good for the ecosystem but also for making our coasts more storm-resistant. Water quality sampling in the Caloosahatchee and Gulf of Mexico.
Using Science to Improve Water Quality on Sanibel Based on the research and recommendations developed with the City of Sanibel Natural Resources staff, the SCCF nutrient management plan has been used as a scientific basis for several large projects: 1. The City will be upgrading its wastewater treatment plant, reducing the amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus contained in the reclaimed water used to irrigate the island’s golf courses. 2. Jordan Marsh, a new filtration marsh, was constructed using City property and SCCF conservation land to reduce nitrogen loads in the Sanibel Slough. Monitoring by the Marine Lab is ongoing.

The R/V Norma Campbell We used our new research vessel, the R/V Norma Campbell, to study an unprecedented dead zone, an area of water devoid of oxygen in the Gulf, related to Red Tide, dying fish, and stratification. Other uses of the Norma Campbell include sea turtle rescues and transporting and maintaining the RECON sensor network and offshore wave buoy.
Our research vessel enables us to service this offshore wave buoy
Red Tide and Sea Turtles From July to November 2018, Sea Turtle Coordinator Kelly Sloan and Marine Lab Scientist Dr. Rick Bartleson dissected 60 sea turtles that died that summer to examine their stomach contents and test for brevetoxins (the Red Tide toxin), including sending samples for grant-funded specialized analysis by a NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) chemist. The most common prey items of the Kemp’s Ridley and Loggerhead sea turtles were crustaceans and molluscs (pen shells, ark shells, whelks, tulip snails, horse conchs, fighting conchs, moon snails, and sharks eyes). Preliminary tests of brevetoxin levels in gut contents, livers, and some muscle and blood samples revealed high levels in the majority of the samples. Kelly Sloan presented preliminary results at the International Sea Turtle Symposium in Charleston in February 2019. The samples that tested the highest were extracted and sent to NOAA for further analysis. Link to the Marine Lab’s publication list www.tinyurl.com/sccfml
A New Lab Facility The Marine Lab moved into a new facility, constructed in partnership with the J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. The new building was built to a LEED Gold standard, and new lab equipment helps our scientists better understand the marine environment at microscopic and elemental scales.
Water Quality within the Refuge Ten years of monitoring water quality within the J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge has allowed us to link changes in Refuge water quality to discharges from the Franklin Lock in the Caloosahatchee. We have also been able to see how new culverts and changes in impoundment management have changed water quality conditions in the Refuge.

Florida Box Turtle Project
WILDLIFE & HABITAT MANAGEMENT New Tractor and Skid-Steer
Diamondback Terrapin Project
A big highlight of the last year was the capital campaign and purchase of a John Deere skid-steer and a larger John Deere tractor to replace our smaller existing tractor. We can now work in more rugged areas, pull out small trees, move vegetation around, and mulch it if necessary. The ability to quickly clear invasive vegetation will improve our success with new plantings and make the removal of regrowth of invasive and exotic vegetation easier. Also, we will be able to clear fire lines and trails much faster after tropical storm events.
SCCF’s research on the imperiled diamondback terrapin (Malaclemys terrapin) has interested other researchers in the state, including the Herp Taxa Coordinator for Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) in Tallahassee, who will assist with our study while also learning our techniques. SCCF is one of the highest contributors to the statewide genetic study on the species that will likely lead to its total protection in the state. Wildlife & Habitat Management Director Chris Lechowicz was asked to be a Florida state representative for this species with the Diamondback Terrapin Working Group (DTWG) at the regional meeting in Jacksonville this year. During the Red Tide event in the fall of 2018, several deceased terrapins washed up as well as marine turtles, island terrapins that likely were affected by Red Tide brevetoxin. However, mainland terrapin populations at our research sites appeared to be unaffected.
SCCF has been conducting population studies on the Florida box turtle (Terrapene carolina bauri) for well over a decade. Over the last year, we have used radio telemetry to better understand their habitat preference, refuge substrates, and home range. We track box turtles fitted with radio transmitters in order to uncover their seasonal movements and preferred refuge areas. Knowledge about their movements and preferred microhabitats will help us to make better land management decisions, especially when mowing, hardwood removal, and controlled fires are being planned.
Pine Island Sound Eastern Indigo Snake Project The Eastern Indigo snake (Drymarchon couperi) is in serious trouble in Florida, with isolated populations around the state: the only remaining coastal Florida population is on three islands in Pine Island Sound. This ongoing SCCF project is currently the only permitted research in Florida being conducted as part of the Orianne Society federal permit. Continued education of island residents and visitors has been key to the high success of our mark-recapture study. Our resident permittees and reports of sightings by the public has likely given these very rare, docile reptiles more of a chance at sustaining populations in perpetuity.
Controlled Fire As part of the Sanibel Prescribed Fire Partnership (SCCF, the City of Sanibel, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, Florida Forestry, and Sanibel Fire & Rescue), we were able to perform a controlled burn on approximately 10 acres in Sanibel Gardens on June 19, 2019. The preserve is jointly owned by SCCF and the City of Sanibel. With this fire, Land Steward Victor Young earned his burn certification, which will allow him to pull controlled fire permits and lead a prescribed fire. Sanibel Fire & Rescue donated a second Type 6 fire truck (Ford F350), which will allow us to have two different brush trucks with water and a pump on controlled burns.

SEA TURTLE CONSERVATION
Sea Turtle Program 2019 was an exceptional season for the Sea Turtle Program and new records were set for total loggerhead hatchlings that emerged on our islands. However, ensuring the survival of sea turtles is becoming increasingly complex in the face of coastal development, ocean plastics, habitat loss, climate change/sea level rise, and a wide variety of emerging and worsening threats. We are committed to playing a significant role in being part of the solution by expanding our scope to meet these challenges. Thanks to the support of the AWC Family Foundation, Sea Turtle Conservancy, FLRACEP (Florida RESTORE Act Center of Excellence Program) grants, and private donors, we have thriving collaborations with a variety of institutions and our impact on sea turtle conservation is growing.

We Initiated Several Significant Research Projects • In response to last year’s Red Tide, the Sea Turtle Program received a grant to launch a two-year study investigating the prolonged impacts of brevetoxins (Red Tide toxins) on nesting and hatchling sea turtles. 131 nesting females and their nests were sampled to evaluate the relationship between maternal health status, toxin levels, and reproductive success. This has never been examined in a season following an intense Red Tide bloom. • Another large-scale project is shedding new light on previously unidentified variables that may affect sex ratios in hatchling sea turtles. Twenty temperature, moisture, and groundwater level sensors were deployed in nests laid across the island to monitor their effects on hatchling development and sex ratios. Results from 2018 suggest that groundwater influence has a cooling effect on nest temperature and increases sand moisture. At high levels, groundwater and moisture correlate with lower hatch success. As of July, samples were collected from 689 hatchlings in research nests to determine sex ratios. • We teamed up with the Conservancy of Southwest Florida for a second season to document the migratory patterns of green sea turtles nesting in our area. This year, we deployed satellite tags on six green sea turtles. To track their movements, please visit: www.ocearch.org

During night surveys we interacted with over 1,500 individuals, educating them about the impacts of lights on sea turtles and other ways beachgoers can help. Additionally, we encountered 344 turtles at night, 157 of which were unique individuals. Of these individuals, 122 were seen for the first time this year and 35 turtles were previously identified in 2016 or 2017.

Snowy Plovers 4 nesting pairs 4 nest attempts 1 nest abandoned 3 nests hatched 7 chicks hatched 4 successfully fledged
Wilson’s Plovers on Sanibel 2 nesting pairs 2 nest attempts 2 nests hatched 5 chicks hatched
Shorebirds Snowy Plover numbers are lower this year due to the death of some adults during last year’s Red Tide, as well as some birds opting to nest in other locations. Wilson’s Plovers on Sanibel fared much better this year with one brood managing to successfully fledge all 3 chicks! There are also Wilson’s Plovers nesting on North Captiva on the north end, and on the SCCF property known as Old Charley Pass. The Least Tern colony at Bowman’s Beach had a promising start with 50 birds in May, unfortunately they abandoned nesting attempts after heavy predation by crows. The birds moved to North Captiva and joined a larger colony on the newly formed beach on the north end. Shorebird coordinator Audrey Albrecht was able to get up there to rope off the colony and protect nests from accidental destruction by beachgoers. North Captiva is accessible only by boat, so regular monitoring is a challenge.

KEEPING SANIBEL NATIVE
NATIVE LANDSCAPES & GARDEN CENTER
• Performed over 50 Landscaping for Wildlife one-on-one consultations with Sanibel & Captiva residents • Sold 13,880 Florida native plants • Sold almost 4,000 bags and bales of mulch, soil, and compost
Documenting Trees on the Rauschenberg property Jenny Evans I look down at the diameter tape and say, “28.3cm.” Elise, a Garden Center intern, and I have just finished measuring the 63rd tree of the day, a Cabbage Palm (Sabal palmetto). While I record the location of the tree for mapping and measure the diameter, Elise takes down information on an iPad, including species and family, height, canopy cover, diameter, and any unique features of the tree. This is part of a collaborative project with Captiva’s Robert Rauschenberg Foundation, and we are identifying and measuring every tree on the 20-plus acres as a part of the master landscape plan for the property. To date, over 1,100 trees have been recorded!
The diameter of the tree is measured and recorded.

• Hosted 6 hardworking interns, recent college graduates from around the country who wanted to learn about Florida conservation, habitats, and native plants
Landscaping for Wildlife in Action Becca Grotrian Plant installations are a favorite part of my job with the Native Landscapes and Garden Center. I love being able to convert homeowners’ yards to a more wildlife-friendly habitat. One project in particular has been very rewarding and at times, challenging. It was a full yard transformation by first removing exotic and invasive plant species and then replacing the non-native plants with native vegetation over a three-year span. The plants are still growing and filling in, but have already attracted a lot of wildlife. One species in particular are gopher tortoises; the homeowners have a total of three active gopher tortoise burrows in their yard. While I was recently watering some newly installed plants, I enjoyed watching two of the tortoises eating some of the vegetation. Being able to see the metamorphosis over the past few years is very gratifying, and even more so when you get the see the wildlife enjoying it as well.
Finding a Rare Orchid Emily Harrington
Featuring the Willow Bustic Sue Ramos I love helping customers pick out plants for their property. Recently, a customer came in looking for plants that would attract birds and butterflies. The Garden Center has so many great options for this, such as Simpson Stopper, Snowberry, Firebush and Beautyberry. But on this particular day, the Willow Bustic (Sideroxylon salicifolium), a relatively uncommon and unknown tree, was bursting with flowers. The flowers are a nectar source for butterflies, and the berries are a good food source for birds. I was so excited to show off this gorgeous tree! This just made my day and I am pretty sure my customer was excited too because it is now planted in his front yard.
One of the resident gopher tortoises, out to find a snack in the newly converted native landscape.
Crested coralroot (Hexalectris spicata) turned out to be a rare find, undocumented on our islands since the 1980s. One day we received a call about an orchid a resident found growing in her yard. Based on the description, it seemed to be the invasive ground orchid (Eulophia graminea), but we asked for some photos. They looked very similar to the invasive Eulophia but not quite‌ So after a bit more research, we realized that the orchid she found was actually a rare, native orchid called Crested Coralroot (Hexalectris spicata) that hadn’t been documented locally since 1980. We took a quick field trip to her property to check it out for ourselves and walked the trail through the wooded lot behind her home to the small patch of orchids tucked underneath some buttonwoods. I was impressed with how much the orchids blended in with the surroundings and realized how special it was to have found them as they could have easily gone unnoticed. It was a pretty exciting day to be a plant nerd!

Did you know the Native Landscapes & Garden Center sells over 150 species that are native to Florida and will grow on Sanibel? And that’s only the tip of the iceberg; there are over 3,000 plants native to Florida, and less than 1/3 of them are found in cultivation. Here are some of our staff’s favorite picks; come by the Garden Center and pick out your own favorite! OUR FAVORITE NATIVE PLANTS Tough plants that grow in harsh conditions are some of my favorites. Cinnamon Bark (Canella winterana) fits this profile perfectly and has a subtle beauty as well! Blooming with small red flowers in the summer, it can tolerate dry and salty conditions, perfect for our environment! –Jenny Evans, Native Landscapes & Garden Center Manager
Cinnamon Bark Berries
White Indigo Berry (Randia aculeata) is a survivor! It is tolerant of all conditions and has a sweet smelling flower that often goes unnoticed. It also comes up on its own all over my property. – Em Hayes, Garden Center Assistant
Christmas Berry (Lycium carolinianum) has holiday spirit and is festive! Its red berries hang below the silvery leaves around Christmas, and it is colorful when a lot of plants are not. It also has a purple flower that turns into a red berry, a unique color combination not found in many plants. – Emily Harrington, Garden Center Assistant
Bacopa (Bacopa monnieri) helps with focus, clarity, and acts as a stimulant (a natural coffee replacement!). The leaves taste good, and it grows everywhere, so you can just nibble it as you go! – Sue Ramos, Garden Center Assistant
Rose Milkweed (Asclepias incarnata) is an amazing pollinator plant, and the larval host plant of monarch butterflies. – Tyler Sherwood, Garden Center Intern
10
The purple flowers of the Lignum Vitae (Guaiacum sanctum) make this my favorite! It’s endangered in the wild, uncommon in landscaping, and was overharvested for its prized wood, making it even more precious from my point of view. – Becca Grotrian, Garden Center Assistant Manager
| SCCF — SANIBEL-CAPTIVA CONSERVATION FOUNDATION
Artillery Fern (Pilea microphylla) reminds me that plants are only weeds if we want them to be weeds. Plus it’s an attractive plant! – Ben Long, Garden Center Intern
ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION The seasonal Evenings at the Homestead programs and tours of the Bailey Homestead grounds and gardens (including the Bailey family home) remain popular. Various seasonal programs like the beach walks at Bowman’s Beach continue to teach about our fragile coastal environment. Different Native Landscapes & Garden Center programs included building your own bee box and a butterfly release.
provide the children of Southwest Florida with an informative and fun way to gain experiential knowledge of the ecology of our marine environment. This enriching initiative, started in 2010 as a partnership between SCCF and Captiva Cruises, is intended to give children who might not otherwise experience being out on the water the chance to form a deeper connection to their coastal surroundings and to spark their curiosity.
NO CHILD LEFT ON SHORE Environmental Educator Richard Finkel works with students at the Sanibel School, both in-classroom and out on the Pick Preserve. Richard, who works with Captiva Cruises, coordinates No Child Left On Shore (NCLOS), a hands-on learning program that fills a vital need to
During this fiscal year we conducted 10 NCLOS field trips including youth groups of The Immokalee Foundation, Lee County Boys & Girls Club, The Quality Life Center in the Dunbar Neighborhood of Fort Myers, Gulf Middle School in Cape Coral, Pine Island Elementary School and New Horizons of Southwest Florida.
Over 200 kids were able to experience the wonders of our back bay waters and Gulf beaches thanks to the generosity of our NCLOS sponsors!

“As the oldest locally owned and managed community bank in Lee County and on the islands, Bank of the Islands/Edison National Bank cares deeply about the natural beauty of Southwest Florida. Especially now, when we have witnessed unprecedented efforts to protect our water, beaches and marine life, it is a great comfort to know SCCF stands strong in its environmental stewardship. For more than five decades, SCCF has been a leader in fighting to keep our islands and this region so special. We are honored to be one of their partners in making that happen.” Geoffrey Roepstorff CEO, Bank of the Islands/Edison National Bank
