President’s Message Now that summer is upon us, ideal growing conditions will likely to persist until October or so, necessitating that aquatic weed managers be on task! As is customary, before the onslaught of summer, University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF-IFAS) hosted their 41st annual Aquatic Weed Control Short Course, May 8-11. This year’s attendees list was 456 participants long and Dr. William Haller and Dr. Lyn Gettys did such a fantastic job of organizing and coordinating the event. If by chance, you haven’t had a chance to attend it really is worth your time.

Of course, at the upcoming June meeting for SFAPMS, we also pride ourselves on being a one-stop shop for all things aquatic weed management. To this end there will be an excellent slate of speakers, CEU’s and many members and attendees from across the aquatic weed management spectrum to exchange ideas and new products and services. So, come on up to Palm Beach County on June 29th at the Green Cay Wetlands to join the meeting! Looking forward to seeing everyone and thank you!

Regards, Scott Jackson Scott Jackson / President

SFAPMS SCHOLARSHIP SUCCESS STORY SFAPMS proudly sponsored Sam Hazamy for entry into the Florida State Science and Engineering Fair - Plant Sciences Division. This fair was held on March 29, 2017. Sam earned second place for his project on controlling invasive aquatic vegetation. He attributes his success to the continuous support of his family, teachers, school and the Florida Aquatic Plant Management Society divisions.

He has been selected by FAU High School on the Boca Raton campus of FAU as one of the 150 of 700 applicants to enroll in the 2017-2018 school year.

FAU High School serves as a dual enrollment school where students can obtain Associates Degrees prior to their high school graduation.

Sam has no doubt that he will continue to challenge himself to better the environment, the world, and himself. Sam was also nominated to enter the 2017 Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge, which is greatly coveted among students.

Congratulations Sam!
