SUMMARY:Beth Appleton's Art+Science: A Creative Exchange Exhibit Reception
DESCRIPTION:~ What Inspires Us? The Hidden Wonders of Apalachicola Bay ~ \nApalachicola National Estuarine Research Reserve will host “Art+Science: A Creative Exchange” with artist Beth Appleton at the Reserve’s Nature Center located at 108 Island Drive in Eastpoint. The exhibition represents an explorative and exciting collaboration that connects science and art\, the microscopic world and the arts in our dynamic estuary. The exhibit will run from Friday\, March 10\, 2023\, through Saturday\, June 10\, 2023. \nInspired by Florida’s beautiful coastal environment\, local artist Beth Appleton began a new series of works in 2012 when she viewed a water sample from Apalachicola Bay under a high-powered microscope which allowed her to view the estuary’s tiniest inhabitants — diatoms and a vast diversity of micro-life in Apalachicola Bay; a sight that still inspires her latest works. Her works are expressed as microphotography\, cut paper works\, videos and digital assemblages. Appleton explains\, “I continue to be amazed by the mystery and beauty found in a drop of water.” \nThe public is invited to an opening reception on Friday\, March 10\, 2023\, 5:00 – 8:00 p.m. The exhibition can be viewed\, free of charge\, at the Reserve’s the Nature Center Tuesdays-Saturdays\, 9:00am-4:00pm\, March 10 through June 10\, 2023. For additional information call (850) 670-7700.

SUMMARY:Apalachicola River and Floodplain
DESCRIPTION:The Apalachicola River has been called “the Lifeblood of the Bay.” Come learn about the ecology\, culture\, and history of the Apalachicola River and floodplain\, and the impact interstate relationships play in the control of the river. After the in-class portion\, we will embark on a journey up the river aboard the ANERR research vessel Henry Lee to get an up-close look at some of the floodplain ecosystems and distributaries of the river. This class is free; however\, reservations are required. For more information\, please contact Anita Grove at (850) 670-7708 Anita.Grove@FloridaDEP.gov \nhttps://apalachicolariverfloodplain2023.eventbrite.com \nThis class is intended for adult education purposes\, so we kindly ask that people registering be 16 years or older.

SUMMARY:SciCafe: Providing Freshwater Inflow to the Apalachicola Estuary
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Steve Leitman will discuss his work with the Apalachicola Bay Systems Initiative regarding freshwater inflow into the Apalachicola Estuary. He will review the capacity of the ACF reservoir system to alter the magnitude\, timing\, frequency and duration extreme flow events into the estuary both under the current Water Control Manual as well as changes which could be made to the current operating rules to address ecological issues associated with freshwater inflow.

SUMMARY:Oyster Ecology
DESCRIPTION:Learn about the role oysters play in the health of Apalachicola Bay. Discover what makes the bay so ideal for growing oysters\, what gives our oysters their distinct flavor\, and how oyster bars benefit the ecosystem. We will also look at what possibly made the oysters collapse and what is being done to restore them to Apalachicola Bay. After spending some time in the classroom\, participants will get the chance look at its these creatures under a microscope. This class is full of opportunities to learn more about the animals that live in our bay and along the tidal flats.

SUMMARY:SciCafe: Restoring Lateral Connectivity in the Apalachicola River Floodplain: An Adaptive Management Approach
DESCRIPTION:G Matt Kondolf\, professor at University of California Berkeley\nAlong most US rivers\, floodplains have been cut off from their rivers by dikes\, but the Apalachicola River is flanked by a largely intact forested floodplain\, supporting biodiversity and ecosystem productivity.  The river’s 400-mi long network of sloughs formerly supported important populations of juvenile fish and other organisms and provided terrestrially sourced nutrients to the Bay. An ill-conceived program of navigational dredging in the second half of the 20th century disrupted formerly stable riverbed and banks\, suspending large quantities of sand\, some of which deposited in sloughs\, forming bars that now block flow of water. As the river has stabilized in the 20 years since dredging stopped\, the Apalachicola Riverkeeper is implementing three pilot projects to remove dredging-related sand deposits and clear trees recently downed by Hurricane Michael\, to reopen sloughs to water circulation. Testing the conceptual model that reopened sloughs will have sufficient water velocity to self-maintain (as they no longer receive unnaturally large influxes of sand)\, the pilot projects are carefully monitored. If successful\, the approach may be applicable to other sloughs in the system. To register for the virtual workshop\, go to https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/2087346286683675403. You will receive a link after you register. \nhttps://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/2087346286683675403
