Marine Reseach Centre and University of South Florida
1st June Vocational Visit
Today was spent speaking to water quality researchers at the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and the University of South Florida
Many aspects of water quality monitoring, techniques, instrumentation and reporting were covered. The impacts and concerns around "red tide" were also discussed.
It was interesting to find out that the issues that Victoria faces with major blue green algae bloom are very simliar to these "red tide" events Florida.

Below the club enjoying the finale of our presentation with an Australian gambling game of 'Two Up'. Two up is where two Australian penny's are flip on a 'kip' a wooden paddle. Bets are placed to the 'spinner' (the person holding the paddle) prior to each flip. The coins will either land either 2 heads, or 2 tails or one head one tail.
Two Up - Marshall on the left of the photo in the suit, has been to Australia playing basketball through out Victoria, NSW and Queensland a few years ago now. He would really enjoy taking his wife to Australia and sharing the Australian cultural experience with her. Marshall could not speak high enough of Australia.
Jimmy and his son Jim Jnr joined our team at the baseball game.
It was Jim's rotary friend Scott who won the two up game and now we think it might be an annual game played at the Pinellas Feather Sound Rotary Club.
It was really spacial in how all the South Pinellas rotary clubs received an extended invitation to join in sharing a cultural baseball game with the unknown GSE team. It was over whelming the support that was shown to the club.
