Signature Event Spotlight
FOILED AGAIN - By Inclement Weather!
NEW DATE! SATURDAY, MARCH 11 | ALL DAY
The Melbourne Regional Chamber’s Veterans Fishing Challenge has once again been postponed. The make-up date, scheduled for this Saturday, December 17, has been postponed to Saturday, March 11, 2017, due once more to the anticipation of high seas. According to the captain of the Orlando Princess (scheduled to embark from Port Canaveral for the event), the ocean will be too choppy to fish, with winds forecast up to 20 knots and seas over 7 feet high.
The Braggin’ BBQ Bash, scheduled to follow the fishing tournament at Riverview Park in Melbourne, has also been postponed to March 11, 2017.
There are still spots available for community leaders to fish on the new date. If you'd like to join us for fishing, please contact Justin@MelbourneRegionalChamber.com. Space is limited.

Brevard Zoo returns another rehabilitated sea turtle to the ocean
Earlier this evening at Lori Wilson Park in Cocoa Beach, staff and volunteers from Brevard Zoo’s Sea Turtle Healing Center released Trident, a subadult loggerhead sea turtle. The Healing Center, which is supported by a partnership with Sea Turtle Preservation Society, has now released 12 juvenile and subadult sea turtles thus far this year.
Trident was admitted in July after being found by a University of Central Florida research team in the Trident Basin at Port Canaveral. “She” was debilitated, underweight and covered in barnacles, algae and leeches. Trident was treated with antibiotics, fed nutritious food and given the opportunity to rest.
Loggerhead sea turtles are most significantly impacted by marine debris, entanglement in fishing gear, coastal development, poaching and climate change. They are considered “Vulnerable” by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources.
