		<title>Waste Everywhere I Look</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
My morning plan for a hike in the coastal hammock was foiled elegantly by the rain. Florida doesn&#8217;t usually have rainy days of fog and mist and hours of falling water.  We&#8217;re much more inclined to sudden cloud bursts and passionate thunderstorms with lightning strike theatrics and the thunder ad-libbing its lines.  They&#8217;re too full [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;What&#8217;s Sustainable About Feeding Chicken to Fish?!&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
It was well over a year ago that I first heard Dan Barber, an immense figure in the foodie and chef sustainability circles, expound the virtues of foie gras &#8220;with integrity&#8221;.  At this year&#8217;s TED he spoke on a topic even closer to home &#8211; sustainable seafood &#8211; and a particular fish that he [...]]]></description>

		<title>Manatees (and New Data) Continue To Come In</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The cold weather continues to gravely effect wildlife populations in the state of Florida, especially in the case of manatees. SeaWorld Orlando brought in another cold stressed juvenile today and Tampa&#8217;s Lowry Park Zoo and the Miami Seaquarium have also been quite active in the past two weeks coordinating with Fish and Wildlife to locate, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rise Above Plastics</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Surfrider Foundation went extreme with their newest PSA video on marine debris for their new Rise Above Plastic campaign.  The animation might seem outlandish with its sea of plastics so large it supports the weight of a sperm whale like a swimming pool raft.. but, given all the trash I&#8217;ve been cleaning up for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Entangled In the Mangroves&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Today I met up with a good friend, and sometimes editor,  to do a test run for the One Ton Landed cleanups near Titusville.  In our brilliance we decided the night before to bring out our kayaks and gear to try for a short paddle and sight additional cleanup spots (as well as look [...]]]></description>

		<title>White Sharks Swim South to Florida In the Winter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
White sharks in Florida?  I used to answer this question with a quip: &#8220;maybe at the Jaws cruise in Universal Studios.&#8221;  (Oh teachers and their sense of humor.) These big predators aren&#8217;t exactly the most common of finds off of our coastlines if you go by what is popularly known of them from most [...]]]></description>

The dedicated folks over at the Sarasota Dolphin Research Program are regularly out watching their research pods and groups for behavioral studies on their social interactions and also to learn more about bottlenose dolphin life history.  On occassion, they also get involved in rescue operations.
In mid February a team with SDRP noticed one of their [...]]]></description>

		<title>For Me, This Isn&#8217;t Business, It&#8217;s Very Personal</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
It has not been an easy last few weeks in my world.  Following the recent tragedy in Florida I find that the public backlash concerning conservation, environmental education, zoos and aquariums, has rocked me to the core.  While I know a large section of the American public does support zoos and aquariums, I was totally [...]]]></description>
