SUMMARY:November Friendsgiving Paddle and Potluck
DESCRIPTION:Register here! \nAs we approach the end of our 3rd Saturday paddling series which runs from March through November we wanted to revive our end of the season oyster roast and potluck. This is a great chance for paddlers to get together and share a meal and some stories about your most (or least?) favorite paddle of the year. Just pick a dish using the sign-up genius link\, pack any perishable food in a cooler which will stay in your car while we paddle and when we get to the takeout we’ll retrieve our contributions to the potluck and enjoy! CFRW will provide steamed oysters as long as they last! \nOur November paddle will begin on the Brunswick River at the new Belville Park kayak launch. We’ll paddle across the Brunswick and into Alligator Creek\, along Alligator Creek\, under the Hwy 74/76 bridge (the tide will be low) and then back out into the Brunswick River\, continue upstream to the Cape Fear and then left into Davis Creek. We’ll take out at Davis Creek Park and have our Friendsgiving there. \nThe November paddle and Friendsgiving is very weather dependent. If it’s too cold\, it’s no fun and potentially dangerous to paddle. It’s also no fun to share a meal outside in those conditions. We will make the call the week of the paddle based on the forecast. \nMeet at the CFRW office at 617 Surry St. at 7:30 am OR at the Belville Park kayak launch at 8:15 am. \nWe encourage all paddlers to wear a PFD\, and we require all paddlers using CFRW boats to wear one.  Other items to remember include sunscreen\, hat\, sunglasses\, water\, and snacks. \nWe have a limited number of boats available for rent for CFRW members ($25 per boat; includes PFD and paddle). If you would like to rent a boat please indicate such during your registration. \nIf you would like to join or renew before the paddle\, you can click here to join or renew or call our office at 910-762-5606.  To help River Watch continue to bring you great programs like our Paddle Series\, Water Quality Programs\, and Educational Seminars\, we ask you make a $10 donation either online with your registration or by bringing cash or check to the paddle on Saturday.  THANK YOU! \nIf you need help the day of please call Kemp at 910-264-8036. Conditions may change in the period leading up to the paddle. Please check your email the night before and the morning of the paddle to ensure that the paddle has not been cancelled.

SUMMARY:August First Saturday Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Join us as our own CFRW Outreach & Engagement Manager\, Seanna Jobe\, discusses her master’s research she conducted at UNCW! \nPancakes at 8 am\, seminar will start at 9 am!  \n Title: Bald Head Island Coyotes: How Predator Exclusion Cages\, Which Protect Loggerhead Sea Turtle Nests\, Act as a Visual Stimuli \nDescription: Loggerhead Sea Turtles are a species that are threatened on the IUCN red list and face many challenges such as; predation\, coastal development\, climate change\, nesting obstructions\, pollution\, inundation by overwash\, and poaching. On Bald Head Island\, intense predation by coyotes became a very real threat in 2019 when over 100 hatchlings and 2\,000 eggs were lost. After a research project on best predatory exclusion cage design was conducted\, Seanna researched how these devices act as a visual attractant to coyotes on the island\, and what that meant for sea turtle management in the future! \nSpeaker: Seanna Jobe\, CFRW Outreach & Engagement Manager\nSeanna grew up in Western New York and moved to Wilmington for graduate school in 2020. She received her bachelor’s in environmental biology from Houghton University\, and her master’s in environmental studies from UNCW. While getting her masters\, she did her research capstone on Predator Exclusion Cages as Visual Attractants to Canis latrans. This research was conducted on Bald Head Island\, North Carolina\, where she was able to collaborate with Bald Head Island Conservancy. Seanna has been fortunate to have many formative experiences with wildlife which have directly influenced her passions for management and conservation\, and science communication!  \nWon’t be able to make it?
