Have you noticed changes in the number of cownose rays in St. Andrew or St. Joseph Bays?
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) is hosting upcoming virtual workshops to gather public input on cownose ray management in Florida waters. These workshops will cover the current status of cownose rays and possible future management options.
This is a great opportunity to learn more about cownose rays and share feedback. Meeting dates are May 21st and June 2nd.

We’re exploring the watershed through the lens of recreation opportunities in honor of Tourism Appreciation Month! One of the newest and most beloved parks in the St. Andrew Bay Watershed is the Lynn Haven Bayou Park and Preserve. This is a local favorite for getting outside and enjoying recreation in scenic areas, from the bayou to uplands. The Park offers amenities like a children's playground, docks, watercraft launches, a disc golf course, picnic pavilions, and wildlife viewing platforms, giving something for everyone to enjoy!
