http://www.pbs.org/wnet/need-to-know/... Commercial shrimping resumed along parts of the Gulf Coast recently, and an area near the Florida Panhandle reopened for fishing on August 10. The question, of course is whether consumers will feel good about eating Gulf seafood. The government seems to think we should. But all those pictures of oil-covered wildlife might still make you wary of a shrimp kebab or grouper sandwich. NEED TO KNOW did its own research and uncovered five things you need to know about Gulf seafood. Need to Know airs Fridays on PBS.

I shot this video at Myakka River State Park with my Sony PMW-EX1 and Letus Ultimate this Park is one of Florida's oldest and largest state parks. The Florida Wild and Scenic Myakka River flows through 57 square miles of wetlands, prairies and woodlands. Myakka is popular for hiking, fishing, camping, and wildlife observation. I shot this short with the Sony PMW-EX1 and Letus Ultimate with Nikon manual 35mm film lenses to create the cinelook. I used mainly these lenses Nikon 300mm f2.8 tele with 2 x converter, 50mm f1.4, and the 24mm f2.0 wide angle. I shot most of this film in 720 24p in over crank mode (60 frames per second). A few of the shots were shot at 24p.

CHANGING SEAS Season II
Episode # 201 "No Fish Left Uncounted"
How do you count two fish, three fish or even a school of fish? In Dry Tortugas National Park, located 70 miles from Key West, Florida, a group of scientists have joined forces to conduct a massive fish census. In this unprecedented collaboration, experts from four different agencies unite to count and analyze fish data from select sites. Changing Seas follows highly-skilled science divers as they determine the size of fish populations in hopes of better understanding how fishing pressures and environmental changes affect populations of marine resources within the park.

Rodney Barreto is no stranger to the Super Bowl spotlight having served on the host committee five times, twice as chair. This year, he leads the committee at a crossroads as National Football League brass has said the aging stadium, recently renamed Sun Life, could use improvements to attract future games.
Mr. Barreto has appointed a subcommittee led by former Dolphin great Dick Anderson to see what it will take to bring the big game here in 2014.
This year also presented some new opportunities with the Pro Bowl returning after a decades-long hiatus.
“From a business perspective, every major city in America today wished they had a Pro Bowl and Super Bowl in their books come the first week of February 2010,” he says.
In addition to his football duties, Mr. Barreto is very active in both the private and public sector. He is a founding partner of strategy management firm Floridian Partners, he established Floridian Petroleum Developers in 2007 and sits on the board of US Century Bank. In the community, he sits on the Baptist Hospital Health Foundation board.
“I’m a big believer in that we should give back,” he says.
Mr. Barreto spoke last week at his Coral Gables office about the Super Bowl, wildlife conservation and the future of Sun Life Stadium with Miami Today reporter Scott E. Pacheco.

The Balkan Peninsula is notorious for being one of the great battlegrounds of history. And yet, it possesses another side unknown to many, where ancient forests and vast wetlands harbor pristine wilderness, and sheer cliff walls and desolate plateaus preserve a seemingly unchanged past.
JUNO BEACH, Fla. -- Sea turtles stricken by the recent frigid temperatures were released on the beach behind the Loggerhead Marinelife Center.
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officials had trucks carrying the sea turtles arrive at noon Wednesday from temporary triage facilities across the state. These facilities helped nurse the stunned turtles back to health.
The turtles were suffering from cold-stress after the unusually long cold spell, but they are now healthy and can be returned to the wild.
They were arrived from Orlando, Brevard County and as far away as Georgia.
Over 100 turtles were released today- a very big day at the Loggerhead Marinelife Center in Juno Beach
http://www.marinelife.org/rehabilitation.htm
More than 2,000 sea turtles have been rescued so far.
It was a very exciting day to be invited to shoot this release- very exciting to watch the excellent staff and volunteers at the Loggerhead Center along with the local citizen participation and the news crew giving this story all the energy they had. All local news sources were represented.
As I shot this I had a very special little girl in mind. My very sweet 4 year old niece, Shaena Lilly who lives in Boulder recently saw "Free Willy" and has been very concerned about all the critters that live in the ocean. I'm looking forward to taking her to the Loggerhead Center one day to see for herself.
