SWIM personnel began working with Hillsborough County staff in the planning of the annual "Coastal Cleanup" volunteer
event scheduled for Saturday, September 19, 2009; up to 100 volunteers are expected to assist with trash/debris cleanup
of Marsh Creek (a tidal tributary draining to Tampa Bay) of Ruskin, Florida. In addition, SWIM staff are coordinating with
the District Planning Section for a basin board field trip to the Cockroach Bay Ecosystem Restoration Project (scheduled
for October 15, 2009). In addition, Jennette Seachrist (SWIM Manager) and Chief Environmental Scientist Dr. Brandt
Henningsen, at the request of the Tampa Bay Estuary Program, are serving as chairpersons of two sessions being held
at the upcoming Bay Area Scientific Information Symposium (i.e., "BASIS 5", October 20-23, 2009); aside from
organizing each session, Ms. Seachrist and Dr. Henningsen are also invited speakers within their respective sessions.
Concerning media attention, since April 23, 2009, two internet newspaper stories dealt with SWIM projects. Lastly, SWIM
staff are coordinating with two Eagle Scout candidates (Boy Scouts of America) to perform their Eagle Projects at SWIM
restoration sites.
