JUNO BEACH

Parks & Recreation: The Juno
Beach Pier at Juno Beach Park
is home to the Responsible Pier
Initiative, what can you tell me
about that?
Chris Korbelak: Florida's east
coast is home to some of the most
heavily used sea turtle nesting
beaches in the United States. Each
year, thousands of sea turtles are
accidentally hooked or become
entangled because of recreational fishing. Anglers often cut their
line instead of attempting to assist
with rescue efforts out of fear of
prosecution or negative attention.
The Responsible Pier Initiative is a
first-of-its-kind program, designed
by Loggerhead Marinelife Center as a
collaborative tool to work directly with
people who fish and fishing piers.
The purpose of these efforts is
to provide responders on fishing
piers with the necessary resources to effectively rescue sea turtles that are injured or stranded
on or around fishing piers. The
program, which has spread to 65
piers worldwide, has recorded 629
reported interactions, 547 sea turtle rescues and more than 18,000
pounds of debris removal. If your
agency is interested in bringing
the Responsible Pier Initiative to a
pier near you, contact Katie O'Hara, Loggerhead Marinelife Center
conservation coordinator, at koha
ra@marinelife.org.
