Event description

Join educators from the Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation (SCCF) and Sanibel Sea School for a guided paddling trip to Picnic Island! The excursion will include dip and seine netting for marine creatures, and discussions about their biology and ecology. Participants must be age 13 or older.

We will provide kayaks for those without their own — standup paddle boards are also welcome for those providing their own equipment!

We will meet at the Sanibel Sea School at 455 Periwinkle Way, Sanibel, FL at 8:30 a.m., and plan to launch from the end of Dixie Beach Road by 9 a.m. If you have a City of Sanibel parking sticker and your own boat, you can meet us at the launching site.

We will paddle out to Picnic Island, seine and dip net in nearby seagrass flats, and — depending on weather and timing — also paddle around Fisherman Key. Participants can expect to be back to land around 11:30 a.m., and back to Sanibel Sea School by noon.

Bring water, sun protection, insect repellent, and wear clothing and shoes that can get wet.

Founded in 1967, the Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation (SCCF)'s mission is to protect and care for Southwest Florida's coastal ecosystems through our focus on Conservation and Ecosystem Restoration, Water Quality Research, Policy and Advocacy, Sea Turtles and Shorebirds, Native Landscaping, Habitat and Wildlife Management, and Environmental Education.

Thanks to the efforts of many who came before, SCCF is the largest private landowner on Sanibel Island, managing more than 1,800 acres on Sanibel plus over 300 additional acres on surrounding islands and in South Fort Myers and Cape Coral.

Over the last 57 years, SCCF's diverse program areas have grown to include a Marine Laboratory, the Sanibel Sea School, and Coastal Watch.

Community support through membership dues and tax-deductible contributions, in addition to grants and staff-generated revenue, makes our work possible. SCCF is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
