One Hundred Miles has moved their 2021 conference to an online lecture series. This year’s theme is “Coming Together to Tackle our Coast’s Biggest Challenges.” Every Tuesday from February 2-March 2, a new group of conservation speakers from across the country will present, with weekly big picture questions that address the looming challenges facing our coast. Topics tackling everything from North Atlantic right whale conservation and climate change and sea level rise, to racial justice and equity in the environmental movement and the inspiring legacy of Jimmy Carter. This year’s lineup includes: Tuesday, February 16 – How Can We Do Better? Making our Conservation Movement more Inclusive and Equitable for All, with J. Drew Lanham and Josiah Watts. Tuesday, February 23 – How Can We Save our Future? An Intergenerational Call to Action on Climate with Bill McKibben and Delaney Reynolds, moderated by Brionté McCorkle. Tuesday, March 2 - How Can We Make a Difference? Reflecting on the Life, Legacy, and Service of Jimmy Carter with Jonathan Alter and Gus Speth, moderated by Jason Carter. The programs run from 7:00 p.m. to 8:15 p.m. You can reserve your spot for a small donation of any size at onehundredmiles.org/ctl-registration/. If you aren’t able to make a donation online, email catherine@onehundredmiles.org or call (912) 264-4111 and we’ll provide a free scholarship.
Fisheries to Host Webinars for Charter Captains NOAA Fisheries’ Southeast Regional Office will host weekly question and answer webinar sessions to assist participants with program information and compliance. Program staff and software vendor representatives will participate in these webinars to answer questions and resolve issues users identify. These webinars are for anyone with an interest in the Southeast Electronic For-Hire Program and specifically, any captain, owner, or lessee running a headboat or charter trip on a boat with any of the following permits: Atlantic coastal migratory pelagics, Atlantic dolphin wahoo, South Atlantic snapper grouper, Gulf of Mexico reef fish, and Gulf Of Mexico coastal migratory pelagics. NOAA Fisheries implemented the new Southeast For-Hire Electronic Reporting Program in January 2021. This program will provide more timely catch, effort, and discard information from federally-permitted for-hire vessels, to be used in future fish population assessments and management evaluations. To register for webinars, visit: bit.ly/fisheries_webinar Please call the NOAA customer service hotline with any questions (available from 8:00-4:30, EST) at (833)707-1632 or email us at ser.electronicreporting@noaa.gov.
