摘要

Tampa BayWatch initiated a community-based habitat enhancement project with The Florida Aquarium, Tampa Port Authority (TPA), Coastal Conservation Association of Florida and local community groups to create a series of new oyster bars and plant salt marsh grasses on the shoreline of Fantasy Island in Hillsborough County, FL. These habitats were created to help stabilize the island, provide habitat for fish and wildlife resources and improve water quality in the Tampa Bay estuary. First, Tampa BayWatch, The Florida Aquarium and TPA sponsored a salt marsh planting event with Young Middle School, planting 5,000 plugs of salt marsh grasses (Spartina alterniflora) along one acre of shoreline. Salt marsh was planted shoreward of areas marked for oyster bar placement. Second, Tampa BayWatch and project partners organized an oyster-building event in which community groups and local volunteers shoveled fossilized oyster shell into buckets for easy transportation to Fantasy Island. Volunteer boaters then delivered the buckets of shell to the site where they were handed off to staff and volunteers who deposited the shell on the tidal flats. Tampa BayWatch staff later deployed concrete oyster reef units to stabilize a section of shoreline where mangroves were uprooted and signs of excessive erosion were evident. These newly created habitats will serve to stabilize the shifting shoreline and protect from erosion as well as provide valuable habitat and foraging area for many species of wildlife in Tampa Bay. This project also presented an opportunity for community volunteers and students to get involved in hands-on habitat enhancement and to learn about Tampa Bay's estuarine environment.
