CHEC Receives "Partners in Watershed Education 2008" Award

CHEC President Al Cheatham received the award on behalf of CHEC at a ceremony on November 19, 2008.  The award was made in recognition of CHEC's Charlotte Harbor / Lemon Bay SWIM Watershed Education Program, an integrated education and outreach program that features activites such as guided hikes on conservation lands, public speaking events on environmental awareness, and a 2-hour boat tour known as the "Journey Through the Estuary".  The awards ceremony is an annual event recognizing partners in the Southwest Florida Water Management District's SWIM program.

 
Shallow Water Wading Trips
Tuesday, 13 March 2007

Come Join Us On Our Wading Trips! 

This is an excellent source of learning and fun!  Participants sign up to learn about the Charlotte Harbor estuary, the encompassing water resources, and the multitude of creatures that depend on the aquatic habitat.

Waders listen to, and participate in, a short lecture about the area and wildlife.  Then, armed with dip-nets and buckets, the participants enter the Seagrass beds to find a nursery full of small and young aquatic creatures. Recent findings include, immature Amber Jack, Pipefish, Seahorses, Starfish, Black-cheeked tongue fish, Lightening Whelk, King Crowned Conch, immature Horseshoe crabs, immature Blue Crabs, and much, much more.

Charlotte Harbor trips leave from Ponce de Leon Park in Punta Gorda, call 941-575-5435 for times and dates. 

 Lemon Bay trips leave from the Cedar Point Environmental Park, call 941-475-0769 for times and dates.

Check the calendar for the next trip!
