week course developed as a discussion-to-action program that helps people discover
ways to take action in their homes and community to reduce their footprint.
• Alicia taught a train-the-trainer Climate Smart Floridians program to several
sustainability directors. These directors will have access to the program material to offer
the program in their community.
• As a member of the National Extension Climate Initiative (NECI), Evaluation and Survey
Committee, Alicia drafted a member survey to be used to evaluate the professional
development workshops.
• Alicia collected data for the Southeast Florida Climate Compact, Regional GHG
Inventory which is part of the Climate Pollution Reduction Grant managed for the region
by Miami-Dade County. The inventory will de completed later this year.
The Florida Sea Grant Marine Extension Agent accomplished the following activities:
• Shelly is the Monroe County representative for the Florida Coral Reef Coordination
Team (FCRCT). The FCRCT was established in September 2022 to serve as the
principal advisory body to the South Florida Ecosystem Restoration Task Force Working
Group and Science Coordination Group (SCG) for issues impacting Florida's Coral Reef.
4076
The South Florida Ecosystem Restoration Task Force brings together the federal, state,
Tribal, and local agencies involved in restoring and protecting America's Everglades.
The majority of the day's discussion was to develop a unified Water Quality Monitoring
Framework and recommending ecological indicators for Florida's Coral Reef for
consideration by the SCG to better inform decisions made with respect to Everglades
restoration. These meetings are open the public and live and recorded on YouTube at
hops://www.youttibe.com/watch?v=7K2ZeHTXgjw.
• Shelly is the co-lead of the Florida's Coral Reef Resilience Program (FCRRP)
Disturbance Response Communications Team. We continue to respond to this event
including widespread sponge die-offs, octocoral mortality, and the loss of many other
invertebrates due to the marine heatwave this summer. We are also planning an
international webinar with scientists from Venezuela to be prepared for a new marine
invasive species, common name Pulsing Xenia. This is a common saltwater tank soft
coral that has become established in Venezuela and has been in northern Cuba for over a
year. We continue to provide weekly updates from the National Weather Service in-
water temperature sensors and share this every other Wednesday at the Disturbance
Advisory Committee calls that are attended by 70+researchers and agency staff.
• Shelly professional development this month was completed the Institutional Review
Board training and a training on increase DELI and reaching new audiences.
The Environmental Horticulture Extension Agent accomplished the following activities:
• In September, Maria Quirico was actively engaged in various activities that contributed
significantly to our environmental and horticultural outreach efforts.
• In collaboration with Naomi Pagidas from Parks and Beaches, Maria developed a
workshop titled "Exploring Florida Keys Biodiversity Through Arts: A Creative
Workshop for Kids." This workshop is aimed to educate and inspire young minds about
the rich biodiversity of the Florida Keys through artistic expression. The workshop is a
program to be developed at the end of October.
• Maria was engaged in one-on-one outreach, conducting seven plant clinics throughout the
month. These clinics provided valuable opportunities for individuals to learn about
horticulture and environmentally friendly practices. On September 61h, during the Grimal
Grove plant clinic, new volunteers were trained to be able to offer tours about the plant
species present at Grimal Grove.
• On September 131h°Maria Quirico attended and was one of the organizers of the Green
Industries Best Management Practices (GI-BMP)training September 13th in Key Largo. Our
Environmental Horticulture program organized the event, with Cesar Peralta, the GI-BMP
Regional Coordinator for South Florida, and Master Gardener Laurie Brooks leading the efforts.
Twenty-four participants. The evaluation comments for the event were constructive and
uplifting. Many Spanish speakers didn't pass the test. Therefore, we will schedule a GIBMP in
Spanish in Monroe County for next year.

Total annual cost for marker/buoy replacements for the past twelve-month period were significantly lower
than the cost during the same timeframe in 2022 ($187,881.00) due to routine maintenance needs and
replacement of 91 regulatory buoys in August of 2022 that were funded in part by Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission Boating Improvement Grants ($74,805.00).
Additionally, 20 regulatory signs were damaged during Hurricane Ian and replaced with FEMA emergency
disaster relief funds ($11,892.00) in March 2023.

A total of 65 vessels were removed in the past twelve-month period which is lower compared to the 106
vessels removed during the same timeframe in 2022 ($565,814.00). Forty-four (44) of the 65 vessels were
grant-funded through the FWC Derelict Vessel Removal Grant Program which represents a cost savings of
$610,338.00 to the County (or 89% of total expenditures) in the past twelve-month period. These costs are
included in the table above.
Additionally, Florida Department of Emergency Management (FDEM) identified 43 derelict vessels in
Monroe County related to Hurricane Ian. FDEM finished removing all 43 derelict vessels in June 2023. Due
to the influx of migrant landings in Monroe County, FDEM has also been able to remove 376 of the 408
migrant vessels that have been identified in the county waters since January 2023.
