Coral Reef Bleaching, Lost at Sea

February 10, 2008 finally the water conditions appeared good enough to dive Coral Cove Park in Jupiter.

It has been at least 3 months of waiting, the photo's above are what I saw.

I am not too sure whether this is a living coral or the remains of a dead bleached coral.

I do know that it was not here 3 months ago.

I felt Lost at Sea, I used to know every nook and cranny of this Reef Park, I recognized nothing.

Is this the end for the Living Reef Eco-systems in North Palm Beach?

12-15ft. visibility in Inlet today.

I swam for 15 minutes in the Inlet at change of tides today, just enough time to get a few quick pictures of the reef fishes and their home.

EarthRehab Coral Reef Initiative

100% non-profit/ non-funded Coral Reef Initiative for Florida.

Hello Ocean Eco-Activists,

I wanted to give you an update regarding our Water Quality Monitoring program for Palm Beach County. (on hold for now)

As I mentioned before, we were interested in finding out if the public would support a Non-profit/Non-funded Independent Water Quality Monitoring program with donations.

Pilot Phase 1 of the project would include: (collaboration not partnerships)
A) EarthRehab and Volunteers (possibly Jupiter High School Environment Club) to collect the Live water samples and obtain data like temperature, salinity, date, time, visibility, current tide status, and photography.
B) Samples would be delivered to Reef Rescue for fecal coliform bacterium testing.
C) Test results would be deciphered by SEFCRI, made public, and copies would be sent directly to the sponsors.

I submitted several news stories regarding my intentions and posted on-line in Forums and Message Boards including YourHub, Topix, Palm Beach Post, Orlando Sentinel, Sun-Sentinel and many others.
Unfortunately I could not find a pulse or get any response from the general public without the support of BIG media.

From December 14th up to our current date several Funds and Grants have been made available from EPA, and DEP (millions) to establish and maintain a WQM program.

We (EarthRehab) have invited the EPA and DEP to discuss the funding further and have approached the Dept. of Agriculture for appropriate legal direction.

I will continue to seek for the Media to announce our program and its mission.
‘An Independent WQM program for the Atlantic Ocean and Florida’s Future.’

Cordially,

William Djubin
