Yes, the Sanibel Community House is sponsoring a “Dancing with the Islands’ Stars” event on January 23, 2010 to raise funds for the 81-year-old non-profit organization that has given (and continues to give) so much to the Sanibel Community.

Restoring the Red Mangrove Population on Sanibel Island

November 13, 2009 — sandyramseth

Restore Mangrove Trees Sanibel island

There are so many distinctive features on Sanibel Island, but few more dramatic than the shrub-bush type trees with long tangled roots growing out of sort of “mucky” brown water.

These beauties are known as Red Mangrove trees and they are prevalant in several coastal areas all over Florida and the world, and are particularly well-known right here in Sanibel and Captiva.

They are known to protect coastlines from erosion, fish and birds from predators and inlands from hurricanes and other tropical storms.

They are so important to the  natural ecosystem here on Sanibel and Captiva.  Since Hurricane Charlie hit in 2004 and wiped out a large portion of the red mangrove population, a concerted efftort has taken place since then to help repopulate the island with pre-hurricane mangrove numbers.

Sabrina Lartz, a research assistant at the Sanibel Captiva Conservation Foundation, is spearheading the effort which has included more than 250 students from the area volunteering to help with the restoration project.

You can read all about it right here and contact the SCCF as well for more details.

That’s it for this week!

Have a great weekend,

Sandy and Rob
