Wood stated most of the Texas landfalls started as tropi- cal storms and developed into Hurricanes in the Gulf which results in very little time to take action. Because coastal residents may only have 2-3 days to pre- pare, advanced planning is critical. Wood said the various models such as storm surge and hurricane tracking are improving each year but with so many variables it is still very difficult to say exactly where a hurricane will make landfall. The Master Naturalists also received information about a recent fish kill. Bryan Frazier, Director of County Parks, talked about the fish kill that occurred on Quintana and Bryan Beach over a recent weekend. They stated several factors came together at the wrong time resulting in the kill. The sudden increase in water temperature resulted in lower oxygen levels, and no wave action to aerate the water in the Gulf for several weeks resulted in the Dissolved Oxygen levels to be near zero. The fish didn’t have enough oxygen to survive. Nature Notes was presented by Quintana County Park Manager Patty Brinkmeyer. Also at the meeting John Boettiger, membership chair- man, reported that 19 members had recertified in May and 39 members year to date. To recertify, members must have 8 hours of advanced training and 40 volunteer hours. Boettiger also reported that Kathy Purvis attained 250 and Roy Morgan 5,000 volunteer service hours. Morgan was a member of the 2004 intern class and volunteered at Sea Center Texas, and Brazosport Museum of Natural Science as well as many outreach functions. Kathy Pittman present- ed Lisa Myers the President’s Lifetime Service Award Certificate. Members who reach 4,000 volunteer hours receive a cer- tificate. This year to date, members have impacted 3,746 adults and 18,122 youth through outreach programs and educational programs such as the “Birds of Prey” programs presented at area schools, Brazoria County Summer Library Programs and the Discovery Environmental Education Program for area 4th and 7th graders at Brazoria NWR.
