NNAATTUURRAALL RREEEEFFSS

A natural reef is a raised hard surface that providesa home for encrusting creatures. Some examples ofthese creatures are anemones, bryozoans, hydroidsand sponges. Different kinds of fish are also attract-ed to reefs for shelter, protection from predators andto find food. Reefs also encourage seaweed andinvertebrates. Coral reefs support 25 percent of seacreatures and are one of the most fragile and threat-ened of the world's ecosystems. Just under a hun-dred country's natural reefs have been impaired by human activity. If this rate of deterioration contin-ues, 70 % of our planet's reefs will be annihilated within 60 years. An effect of this would be the ero-sion of coastal shorelines which in some cases would result in the disappearance of small islands. Themajor threats to coral reefs are: sedimentation caused by construction, mining and farming; dynamit-ing fishing sites; fishing with cyanide; collecting and dredging of coral reefs; water pollution; garbagedumped into the oceans; human run off; careless recreation; global warming.AARRTTIIFFIICCIIAALL RREEEEFFSS

The word "reef" usually conjures up visions of the beautiful coral reefs that can be seen in certainparts of South Florida, the Bahamas, and the Caribbean. However, coral may actually make up lessthan half of the material in a reef with other organisms binding the various components together asa habitat. Any submerged feature, including those made of rock or manmade materials may bereferred to as a reef. Reefs are primarily a habitat for a wide variety of plants and animals. Theyflourish when the surrounding seawater is relatively nutrient poor, largely because they can utilizenutrients very effectively. Their species diversity is rivaled only by tropical rain forests. Reef inhab-itants include many types of algae and several invertebrates, such as hard and soft corals,anemones, sponges and many species of arthropods, such as lobster, crabs and shrimp. An amaz-ing variety of fish is also characteristic of reefs. These organisms use this unique habitat for feed-ing, breading and sleeping. Over the last several decades, nursery habitats for many fish and shellfish have been significantlyreduced by the development of our coastal areas. The reduction of these habitats, along withincreased pressures on our remaining coastal resources, has led to tremendous decline in the marinelife population. This is why artificial reefs are so important. They provide food, shelter, protectionand spawning areas for hundreds of species of fish and other marine organisms. But artificial reefsare not just for fish. They also provide alternate areas for SCUBA divers and fisherman to use,reducing the "user-pressures" that natural reefs endure. Almost anything placed on the ocean floorcan become the hard base needed for reef development under the right conditions. Artificial reefsare manmade habitats built from various materials including rock, old ships, heavy-gauge steelstructures, and precast concrete structures They may also be constructed of a variety of prefabricat-ed reef modules, designed to attract certain types of fish or other marine creatures. To create a per-manent reef; however, the base material must not be tossed around by wave action, or rust away.Bundles of tires and appliances are no longer used for artificial reefs because they are too light andare moved around by storms. Additionally, the area selected for placement of the artificial reef mustbe relatively stable and hard, thus preventing the new reef base from sinking into the sand and ren-dering it useless.

HISTORY OF THE INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY

The Intracoastal Waterway is a 4,800-km(3,000-mile) waterway along the Atlanticand Gulf coasts of the United States.Some lengths consist of natural inlets,salt-water rivers, bays, and sounds; othersare man-made canals.

The waterway runs for most of the lengthof the Eastern Seaboard, from its unoffi-cial northern terminus at the Manasquan River in New Jersey, where it con-nects with the Atlantic Ocean at the Manasquan Inlet, to Brownsville, Texas.The waterway is toll-free, but commercial users pay a fuel tax that is used tomaintain and improve it. The ICW is a significant portion of the Great Loop, acircumnavigation route encircling the Eastern half of the North American con-tinent.

The creation of the Intracoastal Waterway was authorized by the United StatesCongress in 1919. It is maintained by the United States Army Corps ofEngineers. Federal law provides for the waterway to be maintained at a mini-mum depth of 12 ft (4 m) for most of its length, but inadequate funding hasprevented that. Consequently, shoaling or shallow water are problems alongseveral sections of the waterway; some parts have 7-ft (2.1-m) and 9-ft (2.7-m)minimum depths. The waterway consists of two non-contiguous segments: theGulf Intracoastal Waterway, extending from Brownsville, Texas to Carrabelle,Florida, and the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, extending from Key West,Florida to Norfolk, Virginia (milepost 0.0). The two segments were originallyintended to be connected via the Cross Florida Barge Canal across northernFlorida, but this was never completed due to environmental concerns.Additional canals and bays extend a navigable waterway to Boston,Massachusetts.

The Intracoastal Waterway has a good deal of commercial activity; barges haulpetroleum, petroleum products, foodstuffs, building materials, and manufac-tured goods. It is also used extensively by recreational boaters. On the eastcoast, some of the traffic in fall and spring is by snowbirds who regularlymove south in winter and north in summer. The waterway is also used whenthe ocean is too rough to travel on. Numerous inlets connect the Atlantic andthe Gulf of Mexico with the Intracoastal Waterway.

Non-fuming

Safe on all boat surfaces

100% biodegradable

Strongest products available

Approved DfE by the EPA

www.tritonmarineproducts.com

100% acid and caustic free

Now the technology used by the world’s leading cruise lines, U.S. Navy and Coast Guard is available to private boat owners and boat repair shops.

Triton Marine products replace the harsh acids, caustics and solvents you are using now, without sacrificing the cleaning power you want. Try the Non-Skid Deck Cleaner that cleans the decks of aircraft carriers. Or the flushes that clean the engines and water lines of the world’s largest cruise and naval ships. Triton Marine products are so safe and effective that they are endorsed by some of the industry’s premiere yacht manufacturers.

Triton Marine products include:

Triton Marine products not only clean faster and are safer than any other products on the market, they treat the boat surfaces making them easier to keep clean over time.

And because Triton Marine products are built on EMS’ patented synthetic SynTech® and SynClean® technologies, they have earned triple-zero HMIS scores and have been recognized by the EPA’s Design for Environment for safer chemistry www.epa.gov/dfe.

“Your marine descaler removed four years' accumulation of deposits from our ship’s interior piping system. The environmental friendliness of your product resulted in a cost savings in water disposal fees of $1,000. TCLP tests were conducted on the effluent and no unacceptable levels of trace (RCRA) metals were found. I consider your product to be ideal for the system cleaning on U.S. military vessels."

Lt. P.D. StukusU.S.S. Vigilant

”I used the Triton Engine Flush and it’s revolutionary. It worked 10 times faster than the dangerous acids and without any of the problems I’ve dealt with over the years.”

John DuvallCertified Silverton Marine Technician

”The EMS product outperformed all others we tested in cleaning power. There were no fumes at all, which can not be said of even the most benign cleaners we’ve tried. We consider your cleaner to be our product of choice.”

HOW TO BOAT SMART: NAVIGATION BUOYS

Buoys and markers are the "traffic signals" that guide vessel operators safely along somewaterways. They also identify dangerous or controlled areas and give directions andinformation. As a recreational boat or PWC operator, you will need to know the lateralnavigation markers and non-lateral markers of the U.S. Aids to Navigation System.

LLAATTEERRAALL MMAARRKKEERRSS

These navigation aids mark the edges of safe water areas; for example, directing travelwithin a channel. The markers use a combination of colors and numbers, which mayappear on either buoys or permanently placed markers.

CCoolloorrss aanndd NNuummbbeerrssThe colors and numbers have the same meaning regardless of the kind of buoy or markeron which they appear.

BBuuooyy aanndd MMaarrkkeerr CCoolloorr aanndd NNuummbbeerr DDeessccrriippttiioonnssRReedd CCoolloorrss,, RReedd LLiigghhttss,, aanndd EEvveenn NNuummbbeerrss:: These mark the edge of thechannel on your starboard (right) side as you enter from the open sea or headupstream. Numbers usually will increase consecutively as you return from theopen sea or head upstream.

GGrreeeenn CCoolloorrss,, GGrreeeenn LLiigghhttss,, aanndd OOdddd NNuummbbeerrss:: These mark the edge of thechannel on your port (left) side as you enter from the open sea or headupstream. Numbers usually will increase consecutively as you return from theopen sea or head upstream.

RReedd aanndd GGrreeeenn CCoolloorrss aanndd//oorr LLiigghhttss:: These are placed at the junction of twochannels to indicate the preferred (primary) channel when a channel splits. Ifgreen is on top, the preferred channel is to the right. If red is on top, the pre-ferred channel is to the left. These also are sometimes referred to as "junctionbuoys."

BBuuooyy SShhaappee DDeessccrriippttiioonnssNNuunn BBuuooyyss:: These cone-shaped buoys are always marked with red markingsand even numbers. They mark the edge of the channel on your starboard (right)side when entering from the open sea or heading upstream.

CCaann BBuuooyyss:: These cylindrical-shaped buoys are always marked with greenmarkings and odd numbers. They mark the edge of the channel on your port(left) side when entering from the open sea or heading upstream.

OOtthheerr KKiinnddss ooff BBuuooyyss aanndd MMaarrkkeerrssLLiigghhtteedd BBuuooyyss:: These buoys use the lateral marker shapes, colors, and num-bers discussed above. In addition, they have a matching colored light.

DDaayymmaarrkkss:: These are permanently placed signs attached to structures, such asposts, in the water. Common daymarks are red triangles (equivalent to nuns)and green squares (equivalent to cans). These may be lighted also.

HOW TO BOAT SMART: NAVIGATION BUOYS

NNOONN--LLAATTEERRAALL MMAARRKKEERRSS

Non-lateral markers are navigation aids that give information other than the edges of safewater areas. The most common are regulatory markers that are white and use orangemarkings and black lettering. These markers are found on lakes and rivers and are usedto:

GGiivvee DDiirreeccttiioonnss aanndd IInnffoorrmmaattiioonn..• Warn of hazards and obstructions.• Mark controlled areas.• Mark exclusion (closed) areas.• Descriptions of Non-Lateral Markers

IInnffoorrmmaattiioonn Squares provide information such as places to find food, supplies, and repairs;and they give directions, distances, and other non-regulatory information.

DDaannggeerr AArreeaaDiamonds warn of dangers such as rocks, shoals, construction, dams, orstumps. Always proceed with caution and keep a safe distance. Never assumethat every hazard will be marked by a buoy.

CCoonnttrroolllleedd AArreeaaCircles indicate a controlled area such as no wake, idle speed, speed limit, orski zone.

EExxcclluussiioonn AArreeaaCrossed diamonds indicate areas off-limits to all vessels such as swimmingareas, dams, and spillways.

SSaaffee WWaatteerr MMaarrkkeerrThese are white with red vertical stripes and indicate unobstructed water on allsides. They mark mid-channels or fairways and may be passed on either side.

IInnllaanndd WWaatteerrss OObbssttrruuccttiioonn MMaarrkkeerrThese are white with black vertical stripes and indicate an obstruction to navi-gation. You should not pass between these buoys and the nearest shore.

MMoooorriinngg BBuuooyyThese are white with a blue horizontal band. They usually are placed in mari-nas and other areas where vessels are allowed to anchor. These are the onlybuoys you may tie up to legally.

PETROLEUM CONTROL

FFAACCTT::A single gallon of fuel can contaminate over a million gallons of water. The cumulativeeffect of small spills has a serious impact on coastal and fresh water areas.

GGOOAALL::Reduce pollution in Florida’s surface waters and maintain a healthy and estheticallypleasing recreational environment that can be enjoyed by all boaters.

AACCTTIIOONNSS YYOOUU CCAANN TTAAKKEE WWHHIILLEE FFUUEELLIINNGG::• Use caution in fi lling your fuel tank to avoid spillage into the water.• Listen to your boat, it gurgles before your tank is full.• Use a vent collection device to capture escaping fuel.• While fueling your vessel attend the fuel nozzle at all times. • For safety, have all passengers exit the boat during gasoline fueling. • If you overfi ll your fuel tank, wipe it up with a rag. Do not hose down the fuel into

the water. Give the soiled rags to your marina operator for proper disposal.• If a spill occurs, do not apply detergents or soaps. This only spreads the problem and

is a violation of Federal law.• If a spill occurs in a marina, notify marina management immediately.• No smoking while fueling.• Use containment while fueling Personal Water Craft (PWC) (absorbent pad, nozzle

pad or vent cover to catch overflow.

AACCTTIIOONNSS YYOOUU CCAANN TTAAKKEE FFOORR BBIILLGGEE OOIILL::Use drip pans with absorbent pads while draining oil from the bilges.

• Keep all engines well tuned: regularly check seals, gaskets, hoses and connections forleaks and drips. Change oil filters often.

• Place oil absorbent material or bioremediating bilge boom in the bilge.• Clean and maintain bilges and do not use detergents while cleaning.• Remove oil from the bilge with absorbent pads.• Before pumping bilge, use water/oil separators or absorbents to soak up oil hydrocarbons.• Trailer your boat to an area that provides containment before removing bilge or boat

plugs. • Recycle or properly dispose of used oil and absorbents. Contact your local authorities

or marina management for petroleum disposal regulations.

SHELLS

America's Atlantic beaches can yield a widerange of shells, artifacts and unique treasures.Atlantic shells tend to include knobby whelks,smooth whelks, moon snails, periwinkles, bayscallops, ocean quahogs, hard clams, jingles,limpets, cockles and others.

In addition to mollusks and shellfish, there areother items such as sand dollars, starfish, rayand shark egg cases, horseshoe crab egg cases,crab shells, sharks teeth and occasionally evengold or silver coins!

Time and location are important for the collec-tor. While the warm days of summer find mostbeach lovers out, the best collecting is actuallyin the cooler months. One good way to findshells along beaches is to look for low stretcheswhere the water can surge farther up on thesand. In these areas, small patches of beach can be covered with fragments and may alsocontain whole shells in excellent condition.

New crops of shells often wash ashore following a strong storm from an easterly direc-tion. Once the storm subsides and the waters recede, sea shell enthusiasts can explore inhopes of having a new crop to choose from.

Dedicated shell collectors may have a friend that can take them farther along the beachby four wheel drive vehicle. An adventure by oversand vehicle takes visitors to areas thatare not normally accessible by foot. These areas may also have different geography andcan yield a wider range of shells and artifacts.

Not to be overlooked arenearby bays and coves.Here, visitors will find hardclams, razor clams, oyster,mussel and other shells. Inaddition to empty shells,beach lovers will enjoy see-ing live sea life includingfish, shorebirds, blue crabs,fiddler crabs, hermit crabs,shrimp, starfish, snails, liveclams, oysters, mussels andmuch more.

MIAMI-DADE DIVING WRECKS

AAllmmiirraannttee SShhiippwwrreecckkThe Almirante is a 200 foot steel freighter.Since the storm of 1992 it has suffered somedamage but is still a good dive. SeveralJewfish dwell in the shadowy depths of thewreck. South of Miami off Elliot Key.

AAnnddrroo SShhiippwwrreecckkOriginally a German luxury yacht built in1918, it was converter to a patrol vessel inWW2, after the war ended it was used as afreighter in New York. Its days were num-bered however, as following a drug courieroperation it was intercepted and seized by theUS Customs near Florida. Sunk in 1985 as anartificial reef it offers a good days wreck div-ing with much of the superstructure beingwood. It sits upright and makes excellentphotography. Offshore from Haulover, Miami

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Season bothsides of the mahi-mahi filets with salt andpepper, and rub the filets with olive oil.

Process the pistachios in a food processor until finely chopped, or chop them with aknife. Mix the pistachios with the panko, and place the filets into the pistachio mixtureto coat the top. Place the filets in a greased baking dish, and add more of the pistachiomixture on top, patting to coat. I pressed a lot of the extra mixture onto the top, whichresulted in a super crunchy topping.

Bake the filets for approximately 15 minutes in the oven, or until the fish flakes easilywith a fork.

Preheat the broiler.

Plance the mahi mahi on a broiling rack. Coat with vegetable oil, then sprinkle withCajun seasoning to taste. Let sit at least 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, gently toss together the mango, plum tomatoes, olive oil, lemon juice,onions, and jalapeno. Do not overmix.

Broil the fish until cooked through without turning. As mahi mahi is a dense fish, thiswill take anywhere from 10-15 minutes.

Just before serving the salsa, stir in the mint.

LIGHTNING PROTECTION GUIDE

Even though the odds are in your favor thatyour boat may never be hit by lightning, if ithappens it can have devastating effects.Don’t take a chance, protect yourself. If youare in a small boat and close to shore when athunderstorm approaches, get in and off thewater immediately. Better yet, don't go out ifthunderstorms are predicted. But what if youare miles offshore and a storm pops up?Hopefully, you have prepared in advance.

The voltages involved in lightning are sohigh that even materials that would normallybe considered non-conductive become con-ductors, including the human body. The volt-ages are so massive that if they start to travelthrough a boat's structure - say through itsmast - then meet with high resistance (forinstance, the hull skin) the current discharge,in its attempt to reach ground, may simplyblow a hole in the non-conductive barrier.The safety conscious Captain should makesure that his vessel is properly protected.

In theory, a lightning protection system isused to create what is know as a “Faraday’scage,” so called after the late nineteenth-cen-tury scientist Michael Faraday. The principleis to provide a surrounding, well-grounded,metal structure, in which all of parts arebonded together and carry the same electricalpotential. Such a “cage” attracts and carriesany lightning strike to ground much likelightning rods on buildings. You need to pro-vide an unobstructed way for the lightning todissipate its energy to ground (the water sur-rounding you). The additional benefit of alightning protection system is that it tends tobleed off any charge build-up in the generalvicinity, possibly averting a lightning strikein the first place.

So how does a lightning protection systemwork? In a boat, the “cage” is formed bybonding together, with heavy conductors, the

vessel's mast andall other majormetal masses. Amarine electri-cian must tie inthe engines,stoves, air condi-tioning compres-sors, railings,arches etc. witha low resistancewire whichwould ultimately provide a conductive path toground (the water) usually via the engine andpropeller shaft, keel bolts, or better yet, a sepa-rate external ground plate at least 1 sq. ft. indimension. It is important that you ensure thatyour crew fall within the protection of thecage,” something not always feasible when thevessel is not built of steel or aluminum. Onfiberglass or wooden boats it is advantageousto have a mast or other conductive metal pro-trusion extending well above the vessel, creat-ing what is known as a “cone” or zone of pro-tection.

It is generally accepted that this cone of pro-tection extends 45 degrees, all around, fromthe tip of the metal protrusion. If the alu-minum mast of the average sailing vessel isproperly bonded to the vessel’s other majormetal masses and is given a direct, low-resist-ance conductive path to ground, the entire boatshould fall within the protected zone. If thevessel has a wooden or composite mast, amarine electrician can achieve the same effectby installing a 6 to 12 inch metal spike at thetop and running a heavy conductor down themast and as directly as possible to ground,usually through the engine and propeller shaft.Again, refer to the ABYC standards and havea professional marine electrician install yourlightning protection.This is not a do-it-yourselfproject.

WWhhyy RRiipp CCuurrrreennttss FFoorrmmAs waves travel from deep to shallow water, they will break near the shoreline. Whenwaves break strongly in some locations and weakly in others, this can cause circulationcells which are seen as rip currents: narrow, fast-moving belts of water traveling offshore.

WWhhyy RRiipp CCuurrrreennttss aarree DDaannggeerroouussRip currents are the leading surf hazard for all beachgoers. They are particularly danger-ous for weak or non-swimmers. Rip current speeds are typically 1-2 feet per second.However, speeds as high as 8 feet per second have been measured--this is faster than anOlympic swimmer can sprint! Thus, rip currents can sweep even the strongest swimmerout to sea. Over 100 drownings due to rip currents occur every year in the United States.More than 80% of water rescues on surf beaches are due to rip currents.Rip currents can occur at any surf beach with breaking waves, including the Great Lakes.

WWhheenn RRiipp CCuurrrreennttss FFoorrmmRip currents can be found on many surf beaches every day.Under most tide and sea conditions the speeds are relativelyslow. However, under certain wave, tide, and beach profileconditions the speeds can quickly increase to become danger-ous to anyone entering the surf. The strength and speed of a ripcurrent will likely increase as wave height and wave periodincrease.

WWhheerree RRiipp CCuurrrreennttss FFoorrmmRip currents most typically form at low spots or breaks insandbars, and also near structures such as groins, jetties andpiers. Rip currents can be very narrow or extend in widths tohundreds of yards. The seaward pull of rip currents varies:sometimes the rip current ends just beyond the line of break-ing waves, but sometimes rip currents continue to push hun-dreds of yards offshore.

RIP CURRENTS

If caught in a rip current, remain calm to conserve energy and think clearly.Don’t fight the current. Swim out of the current in a direction following the shoreline.When out of the current, swim towards shore.If you are unable to swim out of the rip current, float or calmly tread water. When outof the current, swim towards shore.If you are still unable to reach shore, draw attention to yourself: face the shore, waveyour arms, and yell for help.If you see someone in trouble, get help from a lifeguard. If a lifeguard is not available,have someone call 9-1-1. Throw the rip current victim something that floats and yellinstructions on how to escape. Remember, many people drown while trying to savesomeone else from a rip current.

RRiipp CCuurrrreenntt MMyytthhA rip current is a horizontal current.Rip currents do not pull people underthe water–-they pull people awayfrom shore. Drowning deaths occurwhen people pulled offshore areunable to keep themselves afloat andswim to shore. This may be due to anycombination of fear, panic, exhaus-tion, or lack of swimming skills.

MANATEE MARKERS

MMaannaatteeeess aanndd tthhee LLaawwManatees are protected by the MarineMammal Protection Act of 1972, theEndangered Species Act of 1973 and theFlorida Manatee Sanctuary Act of 1978. It isillegal to harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot,wound, kill, annoy or molest manatees. Thestate of Florida has also established regulatoryspeed zones to protect the manatee and itshabitat. Anyone convicted of violating statelaw faces maximum fines of $500 and/orimprisonment of up to 60 days. Conviction forviolating federal protection laws is punishableby fines up to $100,000 and/or one year inprison.

WWhhaatt CCaann BBooaatteerrss DDoo??You can reduce your chances of harming amanatee by following these simple guidelines:

Observe and follow all boating speed zonesigns.

Slow down. Reducing boat speed gives you agreater chance to avoid a manatee. You willalso increase your safety margin with otherboats. Remember to post a lookout.

Use marked channels whenever possible.Manatees have shown signs that they areavoiding heavy boat traffic areas. Channeldepth reduces the likelihood of pinning orcrushing manatees.

Wear polarized sunglasses while operating aboat. Polarized lenses make it much easier tosee objects beneath the surface and the“swirling” that occurs when a manatee dives.(The swirls look like a large “footprint” on thewater’s surface or a series of half moonswirls.)

Post a proper lookout while boating. A properlookout is a person on board designated tolook out for wildlife, other boaters, swimmersor obstructions when the vessel is underway.Plan for safety.

BBooaattiinngg SSppeeeedd ZZoonneessTo alert the boater and protect the manatee inits sanctuaries, the law provides regulatoryzones on wateways. Here are typical signsfound on Florida’s waterways:

Wakeboarding is a great sport for people of all ages and skill levels. It can be a very fun andsafe way to spend some time out on the water. Here’s a few tips to help you get started.

Rider’s• When you’re in the water, bring your

knees close to your chest, keep yourarms straight out, and just let the boatpull you up.

• When you’re up, remember to keep yourknees bent, chest up, and arms out.

• Don’t ever pull on the rope. Just let theboat pull you.

• Try keeping your back hand out for bal-ance and just hold the handle with yourfront hand.

• And remember, if you don’t feel com-fortable, just let go.

Driver’s• When the rider signals that he/she is

ready, just ease the throttle forward.• Once they’re up, keep the speed at

about 16 mph for their first run.• Try not to look at the gauges and just

keep your eye on the rider. That willhelp you judge the speed much better.

• When the rider falls, bring the boatback to idle and then turn the boataround to pick them up. No “powerturns”. It makes too many waves.

• And remember, it’s always better to gotoo slow than too fast.

If you have any questions please feel free to give us a call. We can give you recommenda-tions for equipment and tell you how to set it up right. Have fun on the water!!!
