use the beach monitoring info to find sweet spots

[ivan salis]

we all know that the fresh sand dumped on floridas beaches buries the old productive sand that has the items we seek---we know that to being able to find the old sand raises our chances of getting good finds---but how to find these sweet spots were the new sand has washed away quickly,easily and cheaply ---use the data at ---fsu beaches and shores resource center--- thats how----by going to it and clicking on the "beach monitoring" on the left hand side a state image comes up listing all the "projects" click on one--then look at the map which has the referance markers that they use---there is also a (i kid you not) hot spot listing--it shows the "high wear areas" where the sand has been eroded away at---here a sample one---Ft. Pierce ---shows that in R34 to R37 --(south jetty and area below it)---that the 1999 sand placed on it has eroded past the pre fill stage.---they list all the projects and list the hot spots for them --its quick,fast,cheap and easy.---great for the days you can't dive but might want to do some "beach" detecting ----these high washout activity areas might have some wrecks in area near them that could be productive too.-- Ivan

thought you guys would like it --in these days of $$$ gas---running around to look at spots is costly plus waste valuible hunting time---its better to be ready to hit the ground running---hard to beat good free already done for you research-- I like to use the best "detecting tool" around ---my wits ---cuts down on wasted time and effort and locks you into the better spots --learn to think "out side" the box --- this will open a lot of new places for you and cut down on the numbers of "other" hunters you have to deal with-(here in fla there are a lot of them) anything that gives you a leg up on the other guys helps --- knowledge is king but lady luck is his queen--so its a bit of skill and a touch of luck and a lot of sweat--Ivan

Envisioning the Future of Coastal Management Project

Background

The State of Florida, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the Coastal States Organization (CSO) are planning to improve the way our nation manages its coasts. To do so, NOAA and CSO have initiated a process called “Envisioning the Future of Coastal Management.” The process consists of a series of meetings in Washington D.C. and five national stakeholder-input meetings being held in Boston, Chicago, Atlanta, San Francisco and Honolulu. Several states are also hosting meetings, and the first one in Florida will be hosted at the Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve in Naples.

Ideas gathered at these meetings will be used by NOAA and CSO in their development of core principles and options for reauthorization of the Coastal Zone Management Act. To register for the national meetings visit www.colamedia.com/cm.

Topics

This meeting is an important opportunity for you to share your ideas about the future of coastal management in the U.S.

Workshop topics will include facilitated break out sessions about:

* current and future coastal issues
* what programs and policies are working and not working
* ideas for new approaches and solutions to challenges
* setting goals and measuring success


RSVP

Attendance is on a first-come, first-serve basis until capacity is reached. A light breakfast and lunch is provided.
