I am really excited about what is in store for this month and hoping to see many of you on the 27th where we will honor several 10-year members and award a Member of the Year! Not only that, but MIAPBC lobbyists will be in attendance to provide an industry legislative update. This is your opportunity to learn and ask questions directly to the people who spend their time working in Tallahassee for us. You will find the invite and registration link below as you continue to scroll.
I am amazed at the outpouring of support we have received so early on for the Palm Beach Holiday Boat Parade and Toy Drive (presented this year by Compass). It's a great opportunity to get exposure for your business and give back to the community. Not only do we rely on sponsorships, but we also need prize donations and businesses to participate in the toy drive by having a toy box at their business (which volunteers will drop off and pick up). Please call or email the MIAPBC office to get involved!
Lastly, we want to congratulate the 9th Annual Chasen Tailz KDW on another successful fishing tournament! MIAPBC is a proud long-time sponsor of this event and even awarded another $1,000 to Boater Member John Jackson with Team Tito's for being the MIAPBC Boater Member with the heaviest catch on the leader board. Boater Members are eligible for extra cash prizes at four fishing tournaments throughout the year, plus many other great perks. Membership is only $40 per year.
Happy Fall (even though it doesn't feel like it)!

ANGARI CELEBRATES 50TH EXPEDITION
DURING SHARK RESEARCH WITH
FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY
ANGARI Foundation marked its milestone 50th expedition last month during a Coastal Ocean Explorers (COE): Sharks expedition with Florida International University (FIU) in West Palm Beach. The COE: Sharks program provides local students and educators with the unique opportunity to join marine scientists in a daylong shark research expedition.
On July 29, ANGARI Foundation invited students and teachers from Roosevelt Middle School aboard the R/V ANGARI to learn from and work with scientists from FIU's College of Arts, Sciences & Education, who study sharks as part of several ongoing research projects. Throughout the day, students were able to participate in the entire research process - from baiting circle hooks to assembling, deploying, and retrieving specialized fishing equipment known as drum lines. The students also helped scientists study the sharks by collecting length measurements and dorsal fin tissue samples, and attaching a unique numbered tag to identify the shark if it is ever caught again.
"Partnerships like this not only allow us to study Florida's sharks, they also let us share this important research with the next generation of Floridians," said Erin Spencer, marine ecologist and Ph.D. candidate in FIU's Predator Ecology and Conservation Lab, who is also the lead scientist for the COE: Sharks program. "The goal is to protect sharks. Part of that is building love and respect for sharks, and there's no better way to do that than having people see these animals themselves. ANGARI is an ideal partner because its team prioritizes safety and science."
Since the start of the ANGARI-FIU partnership, ANGARI has hosted 11 educational research expeditions and has caught and released 34 sharks from eight different species. Part of ANGARI's mission is to inspire the next generation of scientists and conservationists through innovative ocean science education opportunities.
"This program provides amazing opportunities for scientists, students, and teachers. We're excited to be working with FIU faculty and grad students - who share the same mission and values of the ANGARI Foundation - to demonstrate the importance of our oceans and share marine science research through hands-on experiences and education," said Angela Rosenberg, president of ANGARI Foundation. "By working together, we have the ability to have an enormous impact on today's youth."
