Over Kelly Park Merritt Island Florida Banana River Lagoon Aerial Video
An aerial tour of Kelly Park along the Banana River Lagoon on a very breezy day as filmed by my Yuneec Q500 Typhoon. A kite Boarder rides the wind just off shore from the park. Merritt Island, and across the Lagoon, Cape Canaveral and Cocoa Beach can be seen in the video. The cruise ship Disney Dream is at the terminal at Port Canaveral as well. Despite the official wind speed of 16 mph at ground level, the Q500 recorded rock steady video and handled nicely.

Kayaking with Manatees in Merritt Island, Florida!
We did something amazing that we've never done before; kayaked with manatees! So many manatees swam around us as we paddled through the water in the Indian River. The tour was provided through A Day Away Kayaking Tours, which gave amazing service! We arrived and didn't realize we would be the only two people on the tour with our amazing guide! We would highly recommend taking some time out of your Florida vacation to do this, we had a fantastic experience.

The Merritt Island Adventure
This video is a documentary of the lives of the homesteaders living on Merritt Island in Florida in the area that is now owned by NASA operating the Kennedy Space Center and also managed as Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge. NASA used eminent domain to acquire the property in the late 1950's - 60's. Here are the stories of how people lived very primitively on the land and what happened when they were forced to move. For this film, they were brought back to the homestead, back to the very foundations where they still existed. Some early settlers are able to visit their home sites where the land is open to the public; however, some have never had access to their home site because it lies within the security area of Kennedy Space Center. Many residents are proud that their land went to support a successful space program that sent man to the moon! Although residents were forced to move, they are glad the land is protected as a National Wildlife Refuge and not developed like so much of the Florida coastline. The refuge remains pristine and very similar to how they remembered growing up there.

#1 Place to Spot Manatee Year Round Encountered Up Close Manatee
Haulover Canal is known to be one of the best spots in Florida to find Manatee all year round. Connecting The cape Canaveral National Seashore to the Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge.
Observation decks are available for those who don’t want to get on the water. But the best way to see the manatees is definitely in the water by kayak. Taking a guide with you will be important because the area is known for sandbars and mangrove swamps that should be navigated with caution and care. Large body of water on both sides. The Indian river lagoon is notorious for sudden strong winds. So kayaking safety is recommended. Anyone who has any health conditions, is not in good physical health should not go out when winds are exceeding 5mph Those who are strong and athletic safety standards call for winds up to and not exceeding 20mph.
The refuge Manatee Observation Deck is located on SR 3 at Haulover Canal. Manatees frequent this spot year round and can be seen most reliably during the spring and fall. The Bairs Cove boat launch also offers another viewing option.
The refuge offers Manatee Programs that meet at the Visitor Center and then caravan to the deck during the spring and summer seasons. Call 321-861-5601 for dates and to make reservations or check the refuge monthly calendar here for dates and other programs.

Human Health and the Indian River Lagoon
Quail Valley Charities provided Ocean Research & Conservation Association (ORCA) with an educational grant to be used in conjunction with a research project mapping the Indian River Lagoon (IRL) that students from St. Edward’s School in Vero Beach, Florida worked on with ORCA scientists. The main goal of the project was to help the students take what they have learned in the field and lab and communicate their findings to educate the community on the health of the Indian River Lagoon (IRL) and work together to find solutions to local environmental issues.
ORCA’s focus is on carrying out the research needed to provide policy makers with sound science on which to base policy decisions related to our long-term environmental security. However, research alone is not sufficient. Unless we can effectively link knowledge with action, our research will have limited value to our goal of preserving our water-based life support systems.
To this end, local St. Lucie and Indian River County students worked with ORCA create this educational video as an extension of the St. Edward’s School research project. This video explains the links between the human health and the health of the IRL to inspire improved environmental stewardship.

A Quiet Morning on Merritt Island, Florida
I shot this last Friday morning at the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge in Florida. Although it became mostly overcast shortly after sunrise, I like the way it looks with the muted lighting. I especially like the way the Bald Eagle and Peregrine Falcon seem like they were shot in front of a white background, yet they are not silhouetted.

Rambling through coastal pine flatwoods on a 2.6-mile round trip to Mosquito Lagoon, this breezy walk is the northernmost trail in Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge. We spotted two scrub-jay families and an active osprey nest as well as a huge alligator in the waterhole.
