UPDATE – here’s some of the action at the event – Many thanks to all our talented and dedicated volunteers! Here’s a Flickr album of some of the action =============================== Electro -Fishing is one of the tools we use to determine the health of our lagoon which we use for stocking in each spring. Using a boat that sends a a slight shock to the water we scoop fish, weigh, measure, and release. This is usually done in early spring each year, in advance of, and to inform our decisions on how and where to stock our lagoons with juvenile fish. If you’re on our CCA distribution list, you should receive notification via email. If you’re interested in learning more about the program, or observing or participating please send an e-mail to Rich Hackett at Richard.j.hackett@gmail.com. Each year, a group meets at The Public Works building and goes out to as many as 15 lagoons each day. Richard.j.hackett@gmail.com H 922-598-9185C 330-564-8971
Through our education and fundraising efforts, CCA Skidaway and CCA Georgia have partnered with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Coastal Resources Division, to establish and enhance a number of artificial reefs along the Georgia Coast. The Georgia coast underwater environment mostly consists of sand and sea water, with few rock outcroppings. Hard surfaces are needed to enable the establishment of thriving reef ecosystems; they can’t happen on shifting sands. This video gives a bit of insight into the impact of these projects!
A slideshow of photos from the May 28, 2023 Kids’ Fishing Derby. The Derby planned for Saturday May 27 was postponed one day due to a heavy tropical depression that had brought bands of heavy rain to the entire southeast coast for days. Fortunately, the weather cooperated for Sunday May 28 and a great derby was had by all!
