INTRODUCTION
This project is intended to integrate shell -fish mariculture into the existing
vocational agriculture and science curriculum of Sebastian River Middle
School. In doing so it will also link the agriculture and science curriculum;
The importance of this "link" between classes is critical in the modern
middle school. The addition of this exciting hands-on project will also
increase student interest in the three year aquaculture program planned
for the new Sebastian River High School (to be opened for the 94-95 school
year). Industry support for this program from local producers is already
enthusiastic. This exchange between shell -fish producers and the
Sebastian River Mariculture Project (SRMP) will benefit both parties in
terms of increased yields, sharing of information, and training. The
location of Sebastian River Middle School (only five miles from the Indian
River) in the heart of a growing shellfish mariculture region makes this
clam grow -out project a needed component of the Indian River County
School System.
Students enrolled in the program will benefit from hands-on experience in
clam production, record keeping, ecological monitoring, navigational, and
water safety skills. Opportunities for public education through news media
and citizen involvement will enhance the interacting role this industry has
to the ecology of the Indian River Lagoon.
Local clam farmers often discuss anecdotal evidence that links the
recruitment of seagrass and an increase in blue crabs population levels to
their leased sites. This project would allow the students to document this
anecdotal evidence by measuring the percent cover of seagrasses before
and after clams are planted and by measuring the seasonal fluctuation of
blue crabs. By testing the study sites adjacent to and between the clam
nets, the students will be able to determine if this form of farming
increases the productivity of the Indian River Lagoon and whether
recruitment of seagrasses was more likely to occur adjacent to the clam
beds or between the individual study sites. Through the cooperation of the
Indian River School System, the local commercial fishing industry and
Florida Sea Grant, this project will become no less than a statewide model.
Methods for the culture of clams (Mercenaria mercenaria) to be used in
this project have been developed and field proven by Harbor Branch
Oceanographic Institute, Sembler Fish Inc., and other producers here in the
Indian River. Final marketing of these farm -raised clams will be
accomplished with the help of Advisory Board members.
OBJECTIVES
The primary goal of this project is to bring shellfish mariculture into the
aquaculture and science curriculum at Sebastian River Middle School (
grades 6-8 ) as part of a hands-on, industry supported program. This goal
will be achieved through the following objectives.
I.To create a interdisciplinary aquaculture program at Sebastian River
Middle Junior High School based on raising hard clams in the Indian River.
2.To maintain project records to include costs of production, growth rates,
weather data, and water quality monitoring.
3.To maintain a close cooperative network between the Indian River School
System, Harbor Branch Foundation, the Sea Grant Extension Program, the
DEP and other regulatory agencies, and most importantly the local shellfish
industry.
4.To educate the public through the local news media and citizen action
groups.
5.To create a video chronology of this project to be produced by the Sea
Grant Extension Program.
6.To make the program self supporting by it's third year through the sale
of clams.
METHODS
The Indian River County Aquaculture Advisory Committee was established
at meetings in November of 1993 between Frank Lawlor (of Florida Sea
Grant), Al Mitchell (vocational agriculture teacher Indian River County),
Charles Sembler & Rep. Charles Sembler Jr. (Sembler's Fish Inc.) and other
commercial shell fishermen. At these meetings the needs and goals of the
Sebastian River Mariculture Project (SRMP) were discussed including the
following:
Submerged lands lease acquisition, equipment and supply needs,
project methods, scheduling of monitoring, record keeping,
monitoring guidelines, security for materials in the field, division of
project responsibilities training needs and liability.
2
A small 4-H clam growout demonstration project involving fifteen middle
and high school students from Indian River county has been started during
January 1994 with the cooperation of Frank Lawlor of Florida Sea Grant,
and Sembler Fish Inc. The use of a boat, seed clams and a small portion of
lease has been donated by Sembler Fish Inc. This limited scale 4-H
program will be used to pilot the Sebastian River Mariculture Project
(SRMP).
The first steps toward acquisition of submerged lands lease have already
been taken in the hope that lease agreement will be secured before the
start of the 1994-95 school year. The site will be surveyed with GPS.
Seventh and eighth vocational agriculture students at Sebastian River
Middle School will begin construction of soft -tray culture bags and nets in
August of 1994. Seed clams (6mm) will be locally purchased and students
will then seed their soft -trays and nets and will place them on the lease
with the help of teachers and local clam mariculture operators. A second
plant of seed clam will be started four months after the first. This process
will be repeated by students entering the program in subsequent years.
One group of twenty-four sixth grade students will be taken out for a day
long field trip each month until the entire sixth grade class has been
exposed to the program. Seventh grade agriculture students will be taken
to the lease one a month. Eighth grade agriculture students will visit the
lease twice a month. A total of at least 48 eighth graders, 96 seventh
graders and the entire sixth grade class ( over 200 students ) will be
serviced by this program. Among this group will come FFA members who
will be involved in this program as an after school project.
The lease site will be monitored weekly by the agriculture students
(approximately 24 students) with their vocational agriculture and
science/ecology teachers. General routine maintenance will include
flipping the bags over and scrubbing them, along with rearranging them
evenly in the bag and scrubbing the nets over the bottom planted clams.
Ecological monitoring ( to include coliform counts, water tempgrature, pH
dissolved oxygen, bottom sampling and seagrass studies) will also be done
on every visit to the site. The two instructors will be Coast Guard and first
aid trained and will handle the boats used to transport students to the
lease. One of the two instructors will be designated the project safety
officer and will provide water safety instruction for all students enrolled.
All cooperators doing routine monitoring and cleaning of the bags will be
3
trained in proper methods used to monitor micro organisms, water quality,
clam growth, clam mortality, ecological monitoring etc.
Studies will be initiated to determine the effect of hard clam mariculture
on seagrass populations and crab populations. One meter transacts will be
monitored within and around the lease area before the clam bags are
placed in the water and twice monthly thereafter.
Throughout the clam growout period, field tours will be conducted for the
local press, area educators, commercial fishermen, students, area leaders
and civic groups. These tours will provide a wide spectrum of the
community a chance to see first-hand this method of intensive shellfish
farming. Florida Sea Grant will produce a video record of this project and
will aid in distribution of information to the news media and aquaculture
industry.
The first clams planted in August -September of 1994 will be ready for
harvest in the spring of 1996. The Sebastian River Mariculture Project will
be self supporting or nearly so during it's third year. The harvest of clams
will be conducted by eighth grade students who started clams in the
seventh grade. Final statistics including growth rate, mortality,
environmental monitoring, and profitability will be presented in a final
meeting of all cooperators involved.
This program will become self-supporting during the 1996-97 school year
through the sale of clams.
EVALUATION
1. Interdisciplinary curriculum will be in place for the Sebastian River
Mariculture Project by the start of the 94-95 school year.
2.Student project record books will be graded a minimum of twice each
nine week grading period.
3.Cooperation between the Sebastian River Mariculture Project, Florida Sea
Grant and local producers will be maintained through regular advisory
committee meetings to be held at quarterly or more often if needed.
4
4.Records of all press releases and public education will be kept by the
Advisory Committee reporter who will also be responsible for contacting
local news agencies.
5.A professional video, of this program, at least ten minutes long will be
completed by Florida Sea Grant before the end of the 94-95 school year.
6.The project budget records will indicate that the program is self
supporting by the 95-96 school year.
