So um we have a neighbor 213 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,240 across the street from us who's 98 years 214 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:23,759 old and she said there used to be 215 00:06:23,759 --> 00:06:25,680 plentiful clam beds, plentiful oyster 216 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,400 beds, and now you don't see them at low 217 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,160 tide like you used to. A lot of the 218 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,319 mangrove nurseries she not nurseries, a 219 00:06:32,319 --> 00:06:34,080 lot of the mangrove islands she used to 220 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,600 see are gone. So, um, my son and I are 221 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,759 trying to get it back to her baseline of 222 00:06:39,759 --> 00:06:42,080 what she remembers Jupiter and Tquesta 223 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,720 being like. So, what we did was we went 224 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,199 out and we found some live native clams 225 00:06:47,199 --> 00:06:49,120 in our local waters, which was really 226 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,520 difficult to find because when was the 227 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,280 last time you saw a live clam? I don't 228 00:06:53,280 --> 00:06:55,440 know. But we found them. We partnered 229 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,160 with the um Whitney Lab of Marine and 230 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,639 Bioscience up in St. Augustine. They 231 00:07:00,639 --> 00:07:03,599 were able to spawn, we had 30 broodstock 232 00:07:03,599 --> 00:07:05,919 of local clams. They were able to spawn 233 00:07:05,919 --> 00:07:08,639 them and turn that into 23,000 native 234 00:07:08,639 --> 00:07:11,120 clams, which we then brought down. Um 235 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:12,720 and then using the permits with Dr. 236 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,319 Osborne, we were able to release those 237 00:07:14,319 --> 00:07:16,639 clams back into our native waters. 238 00:07:16,639 --> 00:07:19,029 >> So, we've tried it a couple of different 239 00:07:19,029 --> 00:07:19,039 » So, we've tried it a couple of different 240 00:07:19,039 --> 00:07:21,919 ways. Um we have eight bagged locations 241 00:07:21,919 --> 00:07:23,680 that we're keeping the clams in mesh 242 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,039 bags along um our waterways and they're 243 00:07:27,039 --> 00:07:30,800 all tagged so that way we can monitor um 244 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:32,880 like bofouling like what's trying to eat 245 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:34,400 the clams. It protects them from 246 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,880 predation but then we can find out what 247 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:38,479 our clams are facing in our native 248 00:07:38,479 --> 00:07:41,199 waters as far as like pollution and all 249 00:07:41,199 --> 00:07:42,639 the things that why are they 250 00:07:42,639 --> 00:07:46,639 disappearing. And then um the kids were 251 00:07:46,639 --> 00:07:48,400 able to release some not in the mesh 252 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:49,840 bags, but they were able to just release 253 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,680 some live and free. And um a lot of 254 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,400 those got eaten right away, but we still 255 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:57,680 have the ones in the bags and we're 256 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,160 going to see how how they do over the 257 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,720 next spawning season. So um that was a 258 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,360 really fun project. Um we're also 259 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:06,800 partnering with you guys, West Palm 260 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,560 Beach Fishing Club, to do our vertical 261 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:12,720 oyster gardens. Um, we have, I think, 262 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:14,479 120 that have been hung up by our Eco 263 00:08:14,479 --> 00:08:15,919 Scouts right now. So, when those are 264 00:08:15,919 --> 00:08:18,720 mature, that's like, um, over a million 265 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,080 gallons of water a day that will be 266 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,479 filtered locally. We are still looking 267 00:08:22,479 --> 00:08:24,879 to have local dock owners um, 268 00:08:24,879 --> 00:08:26,160 participate in that. We're always 269 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,160 reaching out. So, if you ever talk to 270 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:29,520 local dock owners that are willing to 271 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:33,120 let us host the gardens on their docks, 272 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:34,560 we're more than willing to come out and 273 00:08:34,560 --> 00:08:36,719 hang them for them. 274 00:08:36,719 --> 00:08:39,120 Um the other thing that we're doing is 275 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:43,680 we um my son engineered a benthic camera 276 00:08:43,680 --> 00:08:47,360 that can be deployed in water for days 277 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,480 at a time. And using a advanced AI 278 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,000 modeling, what it will do is it will 279 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,080 take all that video and we're going to 280 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,279 be able to pull out just the pieces of 281 00:08:57,279 --> 00:09:00,640 film that have animals in them. So, 282 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,080 we're going to start creating the very 283 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,040 first benthic database of 284 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,000 what animals, what sea life, what things 285 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,839 are in our waterways here locally so 286 00:09:09,839 --> 00:09:12,080 that we can get greater protection to 287 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,399 understand what's coming, what's going. 288 00:09:14,399 --> 00:09:17,120 Um, and so this has been in partnership 289 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,320 with the um 290 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,480 University of Miami. So, they've been 291 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,080 kind of letting us use their maker lab 292 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,640 to get a lot of this done. And 293 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,710 >> um it's ready to go. We're we're going 294 00:09:28,710 --> 00:09:28,720 » um it's ready to go. We're we're going 295 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,160 to be deploying it at um the lighthouse 296 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,160 once the construction's done. We're 297 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:35,279 going to be doing it in the Jupiter 298 00:09:35,279 --> 00:09:37,920 Narrows once their construction is done. 299 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:39,680 And I would like to use it in other 300 00:09:39,680 --> 00:09:41,440 locations further up the river as well 301 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,360 where it's murkier, harder to see, less 302 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,839 studied. So that's something that's 303 00:09:45,839 --> 00:09:47,120 ready to go. We're just waiting for 304 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:48,560 construction to be complete on the two 305 00:09:48,560 --> 00:09:49,760 projects where we know we're going to 306 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,080 put the camera. But we're open to using 307 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,880 that anywhere you need us to. So, if you 308 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:56,880 have waterways you'd like to monitor, 309 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,120 like Dover Ditch, for example, you just 310 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:00,399 did a restoration there. What's living 311 00:10:00,399 --> 00:10:01,519 there? I don't know. We could put the 312 00:10:01,519 --> 00:10:03,839 camera in there and find out, you know. 313 00:10:03,839 --> 00:10:06,080 Um, oh, Pine Island Redfish, like I 314 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,360 said, um, we're going to be creating a a 315 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,519 sea pearlane nursery at the Jupiter 316 00:10:11,519 --> 00:10:12,959 Lighthouse. So, in addition to the 317 00:10:12,959 --> 00:10:14,560 mangrove nursery, we will now be growing 318 00:10:14,560 --> 00:10:17,829 separation 319 00:10:17,839 --> 00:10:20,720 pro projects across to Questa. So, um, 320 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:22,320 happy to share our super person if 321 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,480 there's restoration that's needed. The 322 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:25,920 other thing we're doing is my son has 323 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:27,760 partnered with another young person 324 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:31,760 that's on the other side, um, closer to 325 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,800 Sarasota and she's making reef balls. 326 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,720 Um, she's using an a substrate that is 327 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:40,800 an aggregate that is a lot lighter 328 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:42,320 weight than what the traditional 329 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:43,839 companies that you can buy the reef 330 00:10:43,839 --> 00:10:46,240 balls from are using. So, they're a lot 331 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,120 more um easy to transport, easier to 332 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:50,640 install because they're not as heavy as 333 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:51,600 the ones that [clears throat] are simply 334 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,320 made out of concrete. And she's donating 335 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:55,600 these. These are going to go along the 336 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,079 snorkel trail by KO's Bridge. Um we're 337 00:10:58,079 --> 00:10:59,680 going to use the existing lighouses 338 00:10:59,680 --> 00:11:00,720 permits because they're already 339 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:02,640 installing reef balls. And those are 340 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,240 going to be going in in September. So, 341 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,160 we're really excited to see you can see 342 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:07,920 down there the difference between just 343 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:09,600 um one year of being in the water. You 344 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,480 can see how much oyster and marine life 345 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,800 that that will be habitat to. So, we're 346 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,320 excited about that. Um, 347 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,519 and oh, my son was invited to speak at 348 00:11:21,519 --> 00:11:24,000 the Explorers Club in New York. Um, Dr. 349 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,079 Sylvia Earl invited him there. So, we 350 00:11:26,079 --> 00:11:27,839 were talking about all the restoration 351 00:11:27,839 --> 00:11:29,120 work that the eco scouts are doing 352 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,760 there. And there my son met up with um, 353 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,000 Phipe Kustoau, the grandson of Jacqu 354 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:38,399 Kustoau, and he does a lot of um, marine 355 00:11:38,399 --> 00:11:41,279 conservation work with the youth. So, 356 00:11:41,279 --> 00:11:43,760 we're working with him to work on doing 357 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:45,760 reef tiles, which I think this is where 358 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,959 I we could use the village's help in 359 00:11:48,959 --> 00:11:51,600 we're so there's several versions that 360 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:52,800 they're going through right now trying 361 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,200 to decide what's the most effective way 362 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,680 to do this. But what Philipe wants to do 363 00:11:57,680 --> 00:11:59,519 is instead of just like what they're 364 00:11:59,519 --> 00:12:01,680 doing in other places is they just put 365 00:12:01,680 --> 00:12:03,920 these tiles up on seaw walls and it 366 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,160 collects marine life, it collects oyster 367 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,240 spout, it coral grows on it, things like 368 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,240 that. Philippe, what he does because 369 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,160 he's been doing coral restoration around 370 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,600 the world for decades is when he puts 371 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,160 his coral reefs down in the bottom of 372 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,959 the of the ocean, he's already preeding 373 00:12:20,959 --> 00:12:26,000 them with coral. So, he wants to preede 374 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,560 our seaw wall living reefs with oyster, 375 00:12:30,560 --> 00:12:33,200 spat, coral. We're We're not sure what 376 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,959 we're doing. Um, he has taken Isaac's 377 00:12:36,959 --> 00:12:38,880 designs, that's my son, and he's taken 378 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,040 them to his engineers and they're trying 379 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:42,959 to decide what would be the best for our 380 00:12:42,959 --> 00:12:44,720 local waterways because they haven't 381 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,480 worked in Florida a lot. They're all 382 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,320 over the globe, but this would be one of 383 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,079 their first projects doing seaw walls in 384 00:12:50,079 --> 00:12:52,480 Florida. So, um, they're going to get 385 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,160 back to us this month on what they think 386 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:55,519 they can seed it with. They know we can 387 00:12:55,519 --> 00:12:57,040 do oysters, but I would like to seed it 388 00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,040 with other growing things like sea 389 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:03,200 sponges and corals. Um, we're not sure 390 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,320 what corals grow in the Jupiter inlet 391 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,519 exactly. So, the lighthouse has given 392 00:13:09,519 --> 00:13:12,639 the eco scouts autonomous monitoring 393 00:13:12,639 --> 00:13:14,320 structures. So, autonomous reef 394 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:15,519 monitoring structures, they're called 395 00:13:15,519 --> 00:13:18,399 arms. And the Smithsonian, what they do 396 00:13:18,399 --> 00:13:20,880 is you place these arms in the water and 397 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:22,639 then you see what grows on them. Then 398 00:13:22,639 --> 00:13:23,920 you bring them up after they've been 399 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:25,839 underwater for six months to a year. You 400 00:13:25,839 --> 00:13:28,000 scrape everything off, blend it in a 401 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:29,760 blender, send it to the lab, and then 402 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:31,600 you're making a baseline of this is what 403 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,399 coral grows, this is what oysters grow, 404 00:13:34,399 --> 00:13:35,760 this is what clams, all the things that 405 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:37,279 are growing in your local waterways. And 406 00:13:37,279 --> 00:13:40,800 it's a very standardized science way of 407 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:42,800 making sure that we know what's growing 408 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,120 in our waterways versus everyone else. 409 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,600 And so, um, we already have six of these 410 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,279 that we're ready to deploy again once 411 00:13:49,279 --> 00:13:51,040 the construction project is done. And 412 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,120 then we'll be able to set a baseline of 413 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:54,959 what is growing here and then we can put 414 00:13:54,959 --> 00:13:57,440 those on there. So I was hoping if there 415 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,320 are blank seaw walls that are anywhere 416 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,800 here in Tquesta that we could obviously 417 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,959 use those seaw walls and put them up on 418 00:14:04,959 --> 00:14:07,279 the wall. The thing that um in talking 419 00:14:07,279 --> 00:14:09,120 to local dock owners the question is how 420 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:10,800 do you install them? Right now all the 421 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:12,399 companies that are doing this they are 422 00:14:12,399 --> 00:14:13,920 bolting them into the walls which 423 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:15,680 requires permits and I don't think as a 424 00:14:15,680 --> 00:14:17,199 dock owner I want anyone drilling into 425 00:14:17,199 --> 00:14:20,160 my seaw wall. So, we are looking at 426 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,000 doing something that would go in front 427 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,880 of the dock. So, you drill a piling or 428 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:26,480 just stakes that go in front of the 429 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,399 dock. So, you're not having to actually 430 00:14:28,399 --> 00:14:30,079 touch the dock, but they're still si 431 00:14:30,079 --> 00:14:31,760 sitting in front of the dock, creating a 432 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,720 living shoreline. So, again, this is all 433 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,839 um in the works, but when we are 434 00:14:37,839 --> 00:14:39,839 complete with the the design, I'd love 435 00:14:39,839 --> 00:14:42,399 to talk to you, Jay, and figure out 436 00:14:42,399 --> 00:14:44,240 where in Tquesta we can test these out 437 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:45,839 because they're doing them in Miami. I 438 00:14:45,839 --> 00:14:47,360 think they make a lot of sense to bring 439 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:51,360 up our way. Um, last thing we're doing, 440 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,040 this is our newest project, is we're 441 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:54,880 going to take the water that comes from 442 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:56,720 the Lockxahhatchee. I'm sure you've all 443 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,440 seen it when the water the the brown 444 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,600 tanninfield water that's coming from the 445 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,680 canals meets the beautiful water of the 446 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:05,360 inlet and you can physically see the 447 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,839 change. Um, and that's every day with 448 00:15:07,839 --> 00:15:12,079 every tide, every tide cycle. So, um, my 449 00:15:12,079 --> 00:15:17,360 son is and I are working on these we're 450 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,160 basically it's like cells that are these 451 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,959 membranes that you can buy that take the 452 00:15:22,959 --> 00:15:25,600 change in salinity of water and convert 453 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,839 it into electricity. 454 00:15:27,839 --> 00:15:30,320 So every day when the tide's coming down 455 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,320 the lockahhatchee and it meets the inlet 456 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,440 and that change is happening, if we put 457 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,440 this right in the water there, it can 458 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,199 generate electricity for us, which I 459 00:15:39,199 --> 00:15:43,839 think is a super cool idea. Um there are 460 00:15:43,839 --> 00:15:46,240 the researchers at Stanford are the ones 461 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,560 that pioneered this idea. We reached out 462 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,560 to them. Everybody loves helping kids. 463 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,320 So, you know, a 13-year-old calls them 464 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,399 and says, "Hey, can we make this?" 465 00:15:54,399 --> 00:15:56,880 They're more than willing to help. So, 466 00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,920 we are hoping to have this project done 467 00:15:59,920 --> 00:16:04,000 in by February is our timeline. So, 468 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,800 that's what we've been working on. 469 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:08,746 >> That's a lot. 470 00:16:08,746 --> 00:16:08,756 » That's a lot. 471 00:16:08,756 --> 00:16:10,079 [laughter] 472 00:16:10,079 --> 00:16:11,110 >> Gosh.

And the cool thing about clams 513 00:17:11,510 --> 00:17:11,520 » They do. And the cool thing about clams 514 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,520 is because they're on the bottom of the 515 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,799 seabed, they bring more photosynthesis 516 00:17:16,799 --> 00:17:19,199 down, which will help our seaggrass 517 00:17:19,199 --> 00:17:21,520 nurseries. So, because they're on the 518 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,839 bottom, oysters, because they hang up to 519 00:17:23,839 --> 00:17:26,160 mangrove roots, they can be higher up in 520 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:27,600 the water column, whereas these are on 521 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:29,280 the bottom. So, they're actually pretty 522 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,600 important for seaggrass, which might be 523 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,039 one of the reasons we're losing so much 524 00:17:33,039 --> 00:17:36,240 of our seaggrass. So, um, that's another 525 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:37,520 thing that I didn't put on here, but 526 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:38,880 we're also working at bringing a 527 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,440 seaggrass nursery to the lighthouse, 528 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,039 which they've said they have space for. 529 00:17:43,039 --> 00:17:45,200 They'd be happy to have us do that. Um, 530 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:46,799 so we're going to work with the Florida 531 00:17:46,799 --> 00:17:48,400 Oceanographic Society, who has a really 532 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,320 successful seaggrass program about 533 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,880 bringing that down here to the further 534 00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,760 south part of the Indian River Lagoon. 535 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,310 >> That's great.
