Yamaha Rightwaters recently renewed its sponsorship of Bonefish & Tarpon Trust (BTT), a relationship that began in June of 2022 when Yamaha became the official outboard of BTT. With continued support from Yamaha Rightwaters, BTT will advance its international mission to conserve bonefish, tarpon, and permit species as well as their habitats. Since June of 2022, BTT has expanded its Juvenile Tarpon Habitat Initiative, leading the planning of a 1,000-plus-acre tarpon habitat restoration project in Southwest Florida. BTT also continues to advance its mission in the Florida Keys, where the organization was founded more than 25 years ago. Yamaha Rightwaters provided an outboard to power the BTT research boat used to research bonefish spawning in the region. In addition to renewing its sponsorship of BTT, Yamaha Rightwaters also provided a Yamaha F70 outboard for “The Florida Boat Sweepstakes.” Part of BTT’s Win Back Our Water campaign, “The Florida Boat Sweepstakes” runs from May 3 to August 15, 2024. Win Back Our Water educates and encourages Floridians to take action to protect the state’s waterways and builds on BTT’s water quality priorities, most notably advocacy in support of Everglades restoration. The campaign emphasizes the importance of water quality not only for marine ecosystems but also for the many Floridians who depend on clean water for their livelihoods, recreation, and quality of life.

!!! PLEASE DON'T CARVE THE HEART OUT OF BIGWIND !!! Tell Ontario by May 4th @ https://lnkd.in/ggrU6sRX The Ontario government is proposing to operationalize Bigwind Lake Provincial Park in Bracebridge, putting numerous at-risk species and sensitive habitats in grave danger. The proposed infrastructure includes 250 campsites, paved roads, maintenance facilities, food services, and associated hydro lines and sewer systems that will imperil and undermine the ecological integrity of the already small and peaceful park. Bigwind Lake Provincial Park is a natural environment class park. Natural environment class parks are meant to protect recreational landscapes, representative ecosystems and provincially significant elements of Ontario’s natural and cultural heritage and "provide high-quality outdoor recreational and educational experiences." Currently, Bigwind provides low-impact recreational opportunities to hike, canoe, and fish, while protecting the habitat of 14 species at risk (8 of special concern, 3 threatened, and 3 endangered). Bigwind is dominated by mature (100- to 130-year-old) Sugar Maple, Yellow Birch, American Beech, Eastern Hemlock and Eastern White Pine, that provide a home to a rich diversity of flora and fauna existing beneath its canopy. Critically, this habitat provides refuge to the threatened Algonquin Wolf, who had been brought to a point of extinction on account of historical hunting and trapping. Extensive wetland habitat also creates a challenge for cataloguing a large number of the plant species expected to be present in the park, which speaks to Ontario's admission that there is a shortage of information on species. The proposal itself states that there is potential for increased road mortality, habitat loss and fragmentation, increased light and noise pollution, and wildlife habituation, which is the the loss of a natural fear of humans. These "potential" pressures make no progress in reaching the 30x30 plan to protect at least 30% of terrestrial and marine areas by 2030. The deadline for public comments is Saturday, May 4th. Please consider using your voice and sharing this information to help protect our family on this planet.

Mosquito habitats are sometimes tricky to get to, so we’re testing out a drone this summer as part of our larviciding program. We'll be using the drone on six golf courses throughout #Winnipeg, including: 📍 Kildonan Park Golf Course 📍 Crescent Drive Golf Course 📍 Windsor Park Golf Course 📍 Harbour View Golf Course 📍 Rossmere Golf & Country Club 📍Tuxedo Golf Course Larviciding prevents mosquitoes from ever reaching the biting adult stage. It's also the most effective and environmentally acceptable method to reduce the mosquito population. Learn more: https://ow.ly/EUpP50PnTQ0

President at Emerger Strategies | Founder at Fly Fishing Climate Alliance | Podcast Host at The Sustainable Angler | Board Member at The Sustainability Institute
The new 'Special Fishing Report' was released by Outdoor Foundation, which is the philanthropic arm of the Outdoor Industry Association, and the Recreational Boating & Fishing Foundation, and it has some interesting insights. The report provides a comprehensive review of fishing participation trends, including detailed information on specific fishing categories and audiences. That said, I was curious to know what these different fishing audiences thought about climate change, so I took a look and provided some actionable steps companies in the recreational fishing industry can take to lead on climate action.
